Racism and Why I cannot vote Republican

Civil Rights MovementThe acceptance of racism through silence while others spread racist propaganda is the #1 reason I will not support a Republican candidate for office. The silence is deafening. We have worked too hard. People have died for the dream of equality. Until the Republican party takes a strong stance against racism, I cannot support their candidates. I'm proud to live at a time when America got its first African American president, who was running against a women in the same party. As we come to accept we are all in this together, we can look forward to an amazing future of increased prosperity and peace. That time could be just around the corner and we can't turn back now.

Let us not be taught to fear one another, but help one another. Let us not be taught that scarcity comes from others taking from us. Instead, let us understand that we will not have scarcity when we live in a society that provides an equal opportunity, because we are stronger when everyone is working together, and racist propaganda is a destroyer of the dream.
