America has been feeling more and more divided as the years go on. Seems as if 1 person says something and a huge ball of snow just starts gathering until it hits the house at the bottom of the mountain. Below I will explain some big reasons to why issues are constantly on the rise and how these issues will most likely persist.

1. Political Parties
This is one of the major ones, our political parties are becoming so far stretched that it's starting to corrupt itself and our country. Everyone knows this, but why is it happening. Well each party has their point of view and ideas of how things should be run, sounds normal. Well it's because it is, the parties are okay to have different ideas and theories but the problem is that these political parties are becoming so radical against each other, they can't simply sit in a room together and compromise laws/topics/affairs/etc... This means our government is coming to a slow and steady halt. This is bad because as our representatives can't come up with solutions for trades/laws/foreign affairs, the people of America like to point fingers at the opposing team. So now what?! good question, now what will happen is people will begin to distant themselves and have a social system where it becomes if your Republican, the Democrats will look down in disgust at you, while if your a Democrat, the Republicans will look at you like you have 3 eyes. As these tensions grow inside the capital building, so will the streets of America.

2. Voices of the Minorites
On this topic the word minority isn't people who are non-white but people who have a very "colorful imagination" as teens/adults. I and most others have nothing against gay/lesbian people. Most people do have a problem with someone who is a boy and say they are girl. No one cares that they choose to think and pretend that's what they are, but DO NOT bring that as a national issue. Here's where it bothers a lot of people is the Transgender community is roughly around .3%-1% of the US population and yet they make national news and try to make everyone accept something is biologically just not possible. It's like being gay, great for you but keep it inside your house. Don't see straight parades going on, so no one doesn't want to see this LGBTQ+ parades going on.

3. Racial Tensions
After Obama was elected, racial tensions grew to a jaw dropping amount. When Trayvon Martin was shot, it was an unfortunate event, but life goes on. What really screwed up everything was Obama felt the need to talk and bring his little words of wisdom to a state issue and this was the beginning of it. Everyone then jumped on the Obama train. As a Floridian, that shooting wouldn't have made it anywhere past local news or state borders if it wasn't for Obama. Years later Michael Brown was shot and killed, his mother claiming he was unarmed and innocent(Like any mother would) people fell right into the trap. Of course Obama once again had to say something, he gave his little speech and out went the police lives. BLM(Black Lives Matter) appeared and claimed they were peaceful and Obama supported them. Like any racial "peaceful" group they became radical and started targeting the lives of Police officers. Now present day, police is the most undermanned job because people are scared.

4. Social Media/TV
Media such as news networks, like to exaggerate everything. The details are twisted and turned so it catches the viewers attention and keeps them watching. Why's this you ask? Well it all has to do with the green devil, money is the biggest religion in the world. People then like to believe the news companies and start spreading the news, then it just goes downhill from there. Luckily nowadays people are starting to realize what a scam these news companies are becoming. Another big media that's tearing us apart our twitter/facebook/instagram. If you post something anti-trump or anti-white or anything against the Republicans ideas they don't care and usually reward you, but the moment you say anything against the Democrats, blacks, minorities, and etc... your banned. That's not really freedom of speech is it, so it pisses off the X amount of people who are Republicans/Authoritarian/other small political parties.

Thanks for reading, these are some of the biggest issues I have seen. I tried to go off as much fact as I could. Obviously it being a political topic, some of this is biased. Please be respectful of each others views, maybe you'll learn something. Please comment below how you feel. I'm pretty sure since this is a sensitive topic, the Admins will take this down. But this is a serious issue that needs to be discussed.

Yeah, people want rights and be treated equally, and not to be shot for literally existing. Shocking! Can't they just die keep silent about injustice like they used to? I mean, look, we already have enough serious problems we don't really have to deal with anyway like, ISIS, smh.

One a serious note, America could be united by compassion. Solidarity. Mutual sympathy even. But if folks like you keep thinking nobody in your country is opressed, you'll stay divided. If you wonder why straight people don't have a parade instead of why LGBT+ people do have one, you clearly don't understand the issue, or any social issues for that matter. You complain but don't ask yourself why. That's what the status quo has always done. The problem is not people trying to change the world, it's people who can't accept that nothing stays the same.

Also, "muh biology" is really not an argument. Science isn't like religion, it changes. Definitions from 10 years ago may be considered inaccurate today.

I have no issue with change, I accept change because as things advance we are open to more. When did I say people shouldn't be treated equally or shot for existing? I never said anything along those lines. I understand the issue with the LGBTQ+ community and like I said I don't care that they do what they do, but I do care about when they feel like they have to put it in my face. I do care when they think cutting off your genitalia or adding a prosthetic genitals makes them a female/male. Not how it works.

The biology part is pretty recent, so don't think I am using definitions or trying to understand whats going on using books from 2007 or earlier. I am using studies now, they're is so much more than just penis and balls and a vagina. When you are born you have a certain set of chromosomes boys (XY) and girls (XX). These are the basic formulas for making a girl or boy when they are born. On top of all those you have more genes and cells that play a part. You have the SRY gene, the AR gene, and AIS gene. Yes if the AIS gene is a complete one they can have a little bit of characteristics than a girl but they are still a boy from the Y chromosomes. The hormones are another big thing that make a boy different from a girl. There's a thing called testosterone produced from the androgen hormone, this is what makes boys aggressive, stronger, hit puberty, and have deeper voices. Girls do have testosterone but its small amounts coming from the ovaries. So when doctors can change all that without killing the person I will start calling that person a girl/boy but in the mean time, a boys a boy and a girl is a girl.




Now for you thinking I want oppression, I never said that. I wish for everyone to be treated equal. The issue that were facing now a days(whether you wanna agree or not) is coming from the black community, they believe that white people should be paying them reparations because of what their ancestors went through. They believe all white people are evil because of the past, which is untrue. Honestly 95% white people could care less what black people are doing now a days in terms of jobs and everyday life. Only time they care is when they start bring crime to their residents. Also the black community is complaining about how we oppress them but they honestly oppress themselves. No one said they have to live in big cities and do the life of crime. No one said to become a drug dealer or user. They fall into the trap of their own community. If you talk to majority of black people, they can be from the suburbs and been there their whole lives and they still act like they are from the hood. So oppression's not coming from the whites or the Latinos or anyone but themselves. Black people feel like they have to be ghetto because all the rappers and social media. Granted not all blacks act like they're from the hood and that's why I am not saying its 100%.

Lately the Latino community has been an issue, which you can't disagree that they've been crossing border in numbers the last decade. This creates an issue because now were paying for them with our tax money. I don't know if you have a job or not and frankly don't care. But lets say you had a job and made $10 for the sake of math. If your taxes used to be %2 now your only getting $9.80 a week. Now lets illegal immigrants start coming in at a high number and now the taxes have to go up to %10, now your making $9 a week and that's just federal. Can't forget county taxes, state, and income. I understand their country isn't exactly the greatest but either was Italy when my family came over. Hitler and Mussolini were killing people and having soldiers go through the city. Didn't mean my family could skip the process, they had to do it like anyone else.

Also I don't know if you were or not but don't go into attack mode. I am not trying to debate with a closed mind person. Thank you for commenting I really enjoy this!

I just hope that all this crap will end so that we can focus on important matters, like defeating ISIS (and other terrorist groups), solving the issue with North Korea, planet exploration, finding alien life, solving world hunger, and achieving world peace. Don't you agree?

I agree but unfortunately this isn't a Utopia. Defeating North Korea is an almost impossible task, the reason being is he knows and understands how communism and dictatorship works. He starves his people so they don't have strength to revolt against him, he doesn't allow outside communication because he know's they would realize what he's doing. He gives his people gifts in order to keep the hearts and minds of his people. Solving world hunger will not be done until food can just be instantly grown. The ratio for birth:death rate is very lopsided. They're is more births a day than death's, so this strains the food supply. GMO's were supposedly the solution to this problem, but as we figured out now, they are causing more health issues such as cancers, high cholesterol, heart disease, and etc.... Achieving world peace is only a dream and could potentially be a scary one. Lets make a smaller scale example of why this is impossible or the many problems that could be faced. Let's take California, very diverse culture, landscapes, climates, and people. The problem California has, is when they make a law they have to account for the entire state, when they think about banning guns for example. California is more wilderness and backwoods than cities. When they have to think about water supply and providing clean water, they have to remember California southern part is desert. That means a lot of money has to go to the states that have the Colorado river running through in order to get water. When they make laws about state vehicle inspections, they have to think how they are going to enforce in northern California where it's pretty hillbilly. Now lets think about the world, how is someone suppose to run the entire world? They have to make laws for every single person to follow. Now if your saying each country runs their country but no one is fighting, that is impossible. People are still fighting over land they believe is theirs and religion will always be an issue. They're is always people hungry for power and willing to kill they're own people and thousands of others in order to do so.

because that's EXACTLY what i believe is wrong with America. people were never taught respect and believe they are entitled to everything, and when you think other than what they believe in, they throw a temper tantrum. you hit the nail on the head when it comes to what's ACTUALLY wrong with America, and finally something that mentions Donald Trump without demeaning him. say the things they say about Trump to THEM and you won't leave without a few missing teeth... (i made a blog like this a week ago but the Admins took it down too...)

Yeah, not saying Trump is my favorite but he won. Its funny because if Hillary won, everyone would be like the system is fair and what not but because she lost its rigged lol. Its just funny, honestly I am not one to choose far left or right but the left is really starting to lose itself. The whole country is going downhill because of political parties. Know who foretold everyone this fear...... The first President George Washington, if you really read his views on government, its pretty nice. Its almost similar to Authoritarians but different on some subjects. I'm a big political nerd because I love strategy and that's all politics is.
