Thanks for the comment and I appreciate your point of view. I don't diminish the struggles of anyone in the third world, as I know that is on a completely different level and I sympathize with that. What most of the rest of the world isn't always aware of is the America they see on television and the concept of the country they've been sold is sometimes vastly different from the reality of what it truly really is. Many of our own citizens believe the fictionalized version of what America is. Americans have the mechanism and framework to free ourselves (something some countries in the world don't have) yet we have to wake up before we can actually use it.

No no no, I wasn't actually trying to imply you did, I only pointed it out as the situation or a phenomenon that I'm used to with people around me as Nigeria itself could be considered a third world country as well. It's true, a lot of us have a different fictionised version of what American truly is and this can be really heightened by the media; mainstream and social.
I find it very enlightening that I could really read your expository and historical point of view
