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.

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.

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.
