There Are Racist Democrats Too

Racism Knows No Political Party

There Are Racist Democrats Too
Aloysius Patrimonio

Take note not only is this my view on the matter but also this view is coming from someone who is disowned by the black community, this view is coming from someone who in their words “hasn’t proven himself to be black” or am a traitor or “not really black; Yes I have been called all of these and more.

Another thing that you all should know is I hate handouts, I hate being judged by the color of my skin. I want to get a job because of my credentials, because of my character and work ethic not because of skin color. I want to earn things. Now after reading this far you can understand where I am coming from, and therefore hopefully won’t get mad at the rest.

First off I want to point out that not all republicans are racist, hicks/rednecks and uneducated people. It is a false claim that for some reason the nation mainly those that lean left have fallen to believe, they believe that only bigots are republicans. I have some news for those that believe this, racism knows no color and recognizes neither political party.

I have encountered first hand many people who lean left that are racists, bigots and elitist; these people have said just as nasty things about minorities like anyone else. I have caught people using racial slurs about me behind my back, yeah they are nice to your face but once you leave the room they hold nothing back. For example I noticed that the majority of scholarships at my college that are available for African Americans are geared towards single black mothers and nothing for black men, so I asked my college why that it is and they had no answer besides the fact that it is what is it. After I walked away and turned the corner I heard the person say “did you hear what that N-word just ask?” I know that person is a Democrat, and proudly toted a Hillary Clinton pin, so no not all racists are republicans.

So this huge outcry that America is racist is stupid and false, this election wasn’t about race, that is how America ended up with Obama for eight years and Obamacare. I heard so many people just say they wanted a black president and that is all they cared about, same with this election they just want a female president but this time around a lot of what Mrs. Clinton planned to do and wanted to do was brought to light and it was stopped.

Look if you want to be mad be mad that is fine, but do not call and claim that all Republicans are redneck hicks that are racist. Do not say this without realizing that you have the same racist people on the Democrat’s side as well, and you can make an argument that people are mad because now they will not get as many handouts like they did before (I.E Obama phones and such).

It’s just like a tough football game or basketball game, afterwards you step up and shake hands. Just like with that example we as Americans need to stop bickering and complaining, we need to come together and support our new leader. I know for a fact that if Mrs. Clinton won, everyone would be saying the same thing, just like we all did with Obama twice.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
