It’s not about Trump or Clinton at the end of the day. It’s about you…me…us. Those two rich people will be just fine. Americans need to decide what they want from our government relative to what our government can or should provide.
As strange as it may sound, my community might improve after having Trump in the White House because every family will officially know that the government is operated by people who won’t be doing much for you. We all know parents who did so much for their kids that the children grew up soft and dependent—give me, give me, give me. On the other hand, other kids come from families who struggled to put food on the table. These kids started grinding the second they became adults and never looked back.
The fundamental question about the government safety net programs is this: is it fair to tax those hard working Americans to help those who are too “cute” to do entry level work. So, you are too cool to pick fruit or flip burgers but you have no problem having other people feed your little kids.
At the end of the day, improving your life starts with you…not Trump or Clinton. My friends come from across the political spectrum. We must work together to write the next chapter in American history. America isn’t perfect…the only perfect anything ever on this earth was Jesus in my opinion. But, we still strive to “form a more perfect union.” This nation was constructed on a shaky foundation because all men here were not created equally.
I will always love my southern homegirl Dr. Condoleezza Rice. Dr. Rice rightfully said that racism is America’s birth defect. Oh, that “blank” was deep. So, quarterback Colin Kaepernick started a national debate that should help some people understand that something to you might be something completely different to others. At the same time, the glorification of crime and guns in some hip hop hurts my community more than the current Klan…real talk.
Let’s do this before the election: we should have a cool forum series around a conference table on what we should do in the Black community moving forward. Clinton and Trump will spend billions getting at each other but see if my friends and I can fund this project.
