It’s irritating to see other countries progress as we, in America, deny our existence as one multicultural species moving together to reach the common goal of equality.  As other nations adjust to the times, those who are citizens of this elitist, racist, and capitalistic country must find it quite embarrassing that America is backstepping.

There are lessons to be learned as we are midway through an age of neo-nationalism. We as humans and a global community should be afraid of leaders like the US’s former president (we are not mentioning his name) who look to backpedal and destroy all of the work we’ve put in to rid the world of chauvinistic ideals.

One way we can do this is through art. South African sculptor and painter, Lionel Smit.
