Hi thanks for commenting, I am not looking for acceptance from strangers. What bothers me is passive acceptance of racism that I am not okay with. I strongly believe that many racist individuals vote for Trump because of his message and tweets. I also believe Trump is clearly a bigot. Now, whether all Trump supporters feel that way is another issue. I do not like the fact that comments such as, “They can leave” are clearly racist and it is disappointing to watch individuals try and spin it. That was a racist statement for 150-years when referring to people of color and it does not change because Trump says it is not a racist statement. As I said, I do believe that some people voted for Trump for other reasons and I do not want to alienate them so much that they begin to accept all racist rhetoric. Hope this clarifies better and thanks for reading.
