Not All Trump Supporters Are Racist

Unfortunately Racists happen to be Trump supporters

The issue is not all Trump.

Those supporting his beliefs, his presidency, and campaign, are not all bigoted or uneducated. Trump himself is a man. The issues within this country far exceed his presidency.

No President has been able to “fix” the issues within our Country. No President has been without flaw, or without criticism.

The issue lies within those who seek to persevere “History.” Those who see no problem within our justice system. Those who see a need to keep immigrants from our Country. Those who believe minorities are the problem.

The pure ignorance of “Making America Great Again” through the efforts of a wall, and a man with a difficulty communicating to other cultures and people groups.

Slavery, segregation, inequality, injustices, and murder are prominent aspects within the old America. Why would we want that again?

The issue is within those who do not see the police brutality, but rather justify it. With those who immigrants are correlated with ISIS. Seeing black men as threatening. That is the issue.

On July 4th, 2020 a black man was nearly lynched by a group of white “patriotic” men. Where is the freedom in that? Where is the greatness?

The unfortunate truth is if it isn’t personal, it’s not an issue.

Covid? Not an issue if I’ve never had it, nor know someone who had it.
Masks? I’m not sick.
Police Brutality? Cops have never pulled me over.
Freedom? I’m safe, I do what I want.

A man was killed for jogging up a street. Walking home. Sitting in her apartment. Sitting in his car. Appearing “suspicious.”

So to those who don’t see this as an issue. To seeing black lives matter as a hysteria. To seeing no issue with our justice system. You are the problem.

This Country was built on the backs of immigrants. Yet somehow a wall is justified.

America the free. America the great.

How can this be true when it isn’t true for all?

Trump is but a man, with very obnoxious comments, unable to communicate with other cultures and people groups.

Do not use him to support your racism.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
