The American Way

People try to tell me how to talk and it's damn irritating.
They cram political correctness down my throat and it's aggravating.
Even preachers are getting politically correct when they preach.
I guess people have forgot that we have freedom of speech.
I'll talk the way I want because that's supposed to be the American way.
I know for a fact that the world has seen better days.
I don't say Native Americam or African American; I say Indian and black.
I will have freedom of speech so people better cut me some slack.
Talk any way you want and don't worry what people have to say.
You have the freedom of speech because it's the American way.

I know it can be frustrating to have someone telling you what you can or can't say, perhaps it may be because they don't want you to offend someone, I don't know but if you choose to speak or act a certain way, then that's your choice..Freedom of speech.I do however have to say, there is such a thing as being considerate, some things you can say but you really shouldn't..Great write*Tyesha Login to Reply
