Write a paragraph on what it means to be an American, yes Black lives and Lgbtq+ lives ARE IMPORTANT! No racism or homophobia, please
Will mark brainiest if complete paragraph

    I believe that being an American means that I can be whoever I want. Every life has so much potential to end greatly or horribly and as an American I can choose which way my life will go. I have the freedom to choose my beliefs, where I live, and I can choose how to live my life. Everyone in the world is given the gift of free will, but in America I feel like I can have the support and safety of my community. Here, I have many freedoms that I might not even realize I have or appreciate, because I didn't have to fight for them, the generations before me did. Many Americans born here will take that for granted but refugees and immigrants, the people that make up the heart of America, will truly value what we have here. America offers the opportunity for a life full of freedoms and dreams.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

the answer is:  

he is voicing feelings shared by all humans regardless of race.

in paul laurence dunbar's poem "we wear the mask," he replicates the words mask and we to emphasize how people in general -not just black americans- hide their true feelings. he suggests the masks cover people's faces and eyes, which are the main parts that display their emotions. he also thinks people's pain conceal behind those masks, so that they cannot see reality and nobody is able to see one another's sorrow.
