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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
