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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
