Before you read,
I want every reader to know: the author of these words is extremely angry, hurt, scared, bothered, and disheartened. So it is only right for the readers to know that nothing she says will now or forever support a man who believes a wall of division is a great solution, all Muslims are terrorists, all African-Americans are thugs who have nothing to lose, the LGBTQ community doesn't deserve human rights, and that Hispanics are rapists.
If I closed my eyes right now I can almost see the very moment most women have dreamed about for years: to see a woman named 45th President of the United States of America. I can see it now, men handing over the title, a title only fit for a woman who has given her entire life to this country.
But on November 8th, 2016, our dream died. “Certain” Americans appointed a Klan-endorsed racist, sexist, arrogant bigot. These aren't just my opinions - this is what America’s presidential elect has proven throughout his life and throughout his "campaign."
Instead of making history, America handed over the precious legacy of my President Barack Obama and the country's Commanders-In-Chief who came before him, to a clown. America, you now have a clown, not a president.
Trump supporters:
This is your president, not mine.
Before you say I'm "just another black girl upset with our decision,” let me remind you that this man wants to deport almost half of a population because he thinks that they don’t belong.
To put it simply, you messed up. If I could think of anyone else on this planet who was less fit to run a country, it would be between the orange man and my 1-year-old niece. Who am I kidding? I trust her more with my well being than I will ever trust him.
Did you forget that this guy has no political experience? You may disagree with almost everything my president has done in his years leading this country. But, in a few months, I want you to think about every problem you had with my president and swallow it. Think about how easy it was. Think about how scandal-free his presidency was, and eat your vote. You elected a man who thinks that immigrants don't have a place in this country, yet his wife can barely speak En...
I will not give you the satisfaction of me completing that sentence, Trump supporters you can figure it out. I hope.
Female Trump supporters: have you not heard that he has no respect for you? Or did that get clouded by the fact that his campaign was based on single-handedly tearing apart every minority in this country? News flash: that includes you. Did you appreciate that? Yes?
Wow!
If you are offended by my words, I would like to divert your attention from my words to a few of your guy's:
"Donald J. Trump is calling for a complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on."
“Women have one of the great acts of all time. The smart ones act very feminine and needy, but inside they are real killers. The person who came up with the expression 'the weaker sex' was either very naive or had to be kidding. I have seen women manipulate men with just a twitch of their eye -- or perhaps another body part."
“Our great African-American President hasn't exactly had a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily and openly destroying Baltimore."
"You know, it doesn't really matter what they write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
What a gem, right?
A wise friend told me that there isn’t much that we can do now except pray. So,
Dear God,
I thank you. I thank you for the blessings seen and unseen. God, your children need you, as this country is now more divided than ever. Some of your children fear for their lives. God, I don't know if we are losing hope or if we are just uncertain of where we stand now and in the future. But we pray that you grant us peace. God, grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.
