Donald Trump Please Denounce Bigotry in a Speech
Mr. President Elect Donald Trump: You said that President Obama is, "...a very good man," and it was, a "great honor” to meet him today (11/10/16). Mr. Trump, for what it's worth I believe you, but please understand that people of color are being hurt and denigrated as I write this, and please stand up for all minorities of this great country and denounce, once and for all, ALL FORMS OF BIGOTRY.
Why is this important?
Donald Trump, sir, you declared in your victory speech that your movement was: "... a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds, and beliefs." In your meeting with President Obama today you declared, "He is a very good man," and it was, a "great honor” to meet him. I believe you Mr. Trump, I really do, as an admitted Democrat I was moved by some of your victory speech, particularly when you said, "For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country." Well, here is some guidance: Confront head on the things you said and clarify them. If you said some things to break through that "glass ceiling" as a politician, it may,ironically, in the long run, be somewhat understood by historians and the American people. But if you remain silent, and let some of your following grab all the headlines with hatred, ignorance and bigotry, you will be judged by that in the long term, mark my words. Today I am reading about people of color and different religions being insulted and worse, and parades are being planned by white supremacists. You could argue that some of this is free speech, that some of this "expression" is their right, but understand this sir: WE had the popular vote. That means the majority of the United States stand AGAINST YOU because of some of the things that have come out of your mouth. It's that simple. And WE will fight a scourge when we see one. WE happen to have the justice department and the Constitution on our sides. So, with all due respect for what you have accomplished to get to this point, let us become a truly UNITED country, as WE move forward into the future. In that vein, I respectfully ask you to stand up for minorities of this great country and denounce, in a public speech, once and for all, ALL FORMS OF BIGOTRY, BEFORE you become President of the UNITED States.
