One More Thing For Election Day

Neo-Nazis are trying to bribe black voters with drugs and alcohol to vote Trump.

One More Thing For Election Day

As Election Day comes up, Trump supporters pull all the last stops in an attempt to get "America's Only Hope" to win the presidential election. In the midst of all the email investigating, dirt throwing ad campaigns, fear-mongering, and Internet comment trolling, there's one more thing that some Trump-supporters are pulling out of their sleeve.

According to Politico, in an email, Neo-Nazi leader Andrew Anglin, editor of the Daily Stormer, plans on having poll watchers across all 50 states in an attempt to stop "voter fraud" at the polls. His friends at The Right Side are also planning on scouting "urban" areas, or the "ghetto," in Philadelphia and setting up hidden cameras in voter booths to catch voter fraud in the name of Trump. In his eyes, black voters are more susceptible to these types of behavior, and they'd like to keep this election as white as their xenophobic pride.

“We also have some teams going into the ghettos in Philly with 40s and weed to give out to the local residents, which we think will lead to more of them staying home. We have had success with this in the past,” wrote the representative of TheRightStuff.biz, who said four teams of two employed this tactic in Detroit during the Democratic primary in an effort to help Bernie Sanders. “40s” are 40-ounce bottles of malt liquor. POLITICO could not independently verify his claims.


Weed and 40s. Yeah, that's all we want in life. That's usually all it takes for us to not vote.

Well, I cannot speak for everyone, but that wouldn't work for most people. If this were to actually be happening, let's also think about the fact that anyone who looks remotely suspicious in the hood usually gets questioned by somebody. People would also take the weed and alcohol, and check "Hillary Clinton" anyway. We would also vote angrily ANYWAY because we wouldn't want to give a racist the satisfaction. There are just so many things wrong with this. Most of us know that Trump is a racist, sexist, perverted, ignorant, homophobic, xenophobic being. But then you have those like Ben Carson, and these two:


If it wasn't clear before, this is them preying on the Black Community because we must be obviously that dumb. Don't be dumb. Just please go vote against this man. I personally don't trust any of the top two candidates. I believe in third-parties but this is not the time for a third-party vote. I repeat THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR A THIRD-PARTY VOTE. Too many things are at stake, too much freedom is at stake. Don't think only of yourself. It may seem like our votes don't matter, but it matters at least a little. Why take that chance?

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.

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.
