This election, as anyone who watches the news knows, has been unparalleled to any of its predecessors. Never before have I completely unfriended people solely based on the candidate they support. In a recent post of mine, I discussed this issue.

Voting for Donald Trump isn't just about party politics, and in fact is the far opposite. Numerous major republicans who don't support Donald Trump are a demonstration of that fact. Donald Trump has endorsements from the KKK, neo-nazis, the head of the American Nazi-Party, and other variations of white supremacists. He makes open comments about other races, engaging in racist rhetoric. The majority of his support base is white.

If this isn't an issue to you, and you see no problem with the KKK, then you can stop reading this article. I can't convince you here that the KKK is wrong and horrible (did we forget about the thousands of men hung by the KKK?). I'll write something for you specifically later. If this alarms you a little, continue on.

These are are flags and hallmarks of racism to anyone, and signal not only racist behavior but discriminatory behavior as well. This is a man with one of his main platforms being a "wall" to lock out a major group of people.

With all of this being known, how can anyone who cares about the rights of people of color still vote for him? MLK and other activists alike fought for equal rights of all races, something that Donald Trump is willing to overlook. I will no longer accept that overlooking someone's racist tendencies is okay or should be considered normal. Being racist isn't normal. Being homophobic isn't normal. Being islamophobia isn't normal. We teach our children these things are okay when they aren't by supporting and endorsing people that emulate the ideas.

When you support someone like this, you not only tell me that my life doesn't matter to you, but you also tell me that you're willing to throw away my rights for your own.

What Donald Trump has said are not series of human mistakes, but actual insight into his beliefs and mindset. anyone who can't, or won't see that, is someone I will gladly escort out of my life.
