Why does the Coke "America the Beautiful" commercial bother me so much? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/why-does-the-coke-america-the-beautiful-commercial-bother-me-so-much <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>OK, so the Coke<br />commercial, specifically the one in which America the Beautiful was sung in<br />multiple languages. I have a very<br />open<br />mind; I embrace all cultures and religions with no judgment. But this <br />commercial just really jumped deep into my veins. I have been told that<br />I suffer from Narrow Mindedness but I disagree, what I am guilty of, it<br />is NATIONALISM; HUGE DIFFERENCE. Here is a thought from my little narrow mind,<br />maybe if there were more people that embraced the contents of the Pledge of Allegiance<br />we could start to close some of these gaps in the nation…”I pledge allegiance<br />to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it<br />stands, “One Nation” under God, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all…. In my opinion, we<br />will never be a truly united nation until we adopt one official <br />language and people drop the prefix from the American…not <br />German-American, African-American,<br />Spanish-American…you get it; just “American”. <br />Well that is it, your thoughts.
