They don\u2019t love each other,\u201d said Los Angeles-based artist Johnny Presley.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sick of the way this country treats people. I\u2019m sick of the way this country treats its foreign neighbors,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m sick of a lot of damn things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For others, like American-Iranian Karisa Tavassoli, an educator in Atlanta, the basics of the American dream still ring true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have safety, I have freedom of speech, I have freedom of religion, I can wear whatever I want as a woman,\u201d she told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are many flaws here, but we have something very special that\u2019s worthy of protecting,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Alonzo Coby, a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, is grateful to be able to celebrate 250 years of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I want people to remember that Native Americans have been here a lot longer than 250 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>burs-bys<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
