Uproar of Racial Discriminate After Election
worldhistorybloging.org

Donald Trump's victory achieved 279 electoral votes but without the popular vote. This has pleased self-identified Trump supporters that are harassing minorities, and calling for more organized white supremacy.

Utah high schools have several reports of Latino students being bullied according to CNN. One student whose parents are Mexican immigrants said she was told, “You wetbacks need to go back to Mexico.” Another instance occurred in which slurs and pro-Trump slogans were scrawled in a high school in Minnesota. Furthermore, The Klu Klux Klan white supremacist group is openly canvassing for new members in Birmingham, Alabama, where flyers were scattered in driveways on the morning after the election says CNN news.

All these acts of hatred and discrimination should have been norm, or even expected in a Trump presidency. Trump has harbored these beliefs since the beginning of his campaign. However, many of his supporters remain gullible and unaware that this is now the reality of America. America will have racial slurs that are normalized in society.

There is an argument that can also be brought, that Trump only wants to kick out 'illegal immigrants'., in hear that they may sacrifice the security and safety of our country. What Trump needs to be aware, is that the sole purpose of any president should be to rid or jail people who are a threat to national security. he alienates an entire religion, race, and blames them for our country's issues. Singling out a race to 'save the white population is completely horrendous, and in many times, defeats the purpose. There have been studies reporting that criminals participate in their life of crime when they are isolated from their communities, and familites. Islation will only grow the problem. it is nevetr the correct way to address our country's issues.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
