America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

..........................Beautiful song. However it talks of alabaster cities gleaming. Alabaster is white. Fact. So. We are not really open to all? "And crown thy good with brotherhood." Brotherhood seems to mean white. I know the song was written a long time ago, however perhaps it should be edited to fit with todays world.
The pictures are heartbreaking.
We need to change some things. Donnie does not want it, however the rest of us do.
