Y'all Should Chill On Criticizing Jeff Sessions

He's still the Attorney General.

Y'all Should Chill On Criticizing Jeff Sessions
MyAJC

Throughout this week, I've seen posters all over campus voicing anger over some of the people President Trump has appointed to the Cabinet. One such person, and the most prominent poster, is Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

The poster had an unflattering picture of Sessions with the headline: "When you're racist and still the Attorney General?"

This is rude and completely unnecessary. And if you couldn't tell, it's ungrammatical. It doesn't make sense. The question mark at the end makes just as much sense as thinking your little poster is going to solve anything.

So Jeff Sessions didn't divulge that he met with the Russian ambassador. That's true. How, though, is that going to stop him from doing his job?

You know what will stop him from doing his job? People taking their personal, uninformed opinions and causing him problems to deal with there rather than on a larger scale that will progress our country.

This begs the question, an honest question: Is the problem Jeff Sessions or is the problem that one "side" won the presidency over the other? Is the problem that people didn't want Trump as President and therefore any choice he makes will be the wrong one? Is there nothing better to do with your time than picking on a man for no purpose? What were your signs supposed to do besides harm a man's character?

You can say he's racist for whatever reason you want. You'll probably say that he thinks bad things about black people and he says bad things about black people, but let's take an objective look for just a second.

Are you not doing the same thing to him? You're making fun of him, saying hurtful things about him. Maybe they're true, but does that negate their racism? No. It doesn't.

I'll leave you with one more question. Do your posters make you racist?

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
