Presidential Race and Racism

Some of the accusations during the current presidential primaries are very disturbing. The word racism is thrown around too easily. The word itself is very harsh and holds many consequences. To call someone a racist is different than calling someone dumb or stupid. No one should be allowed to call someone a racist, especially when there is no proof.

During the Republican campaign, Mitt Romney has called Trump a racist. Does Mitt understand what this means. 4 years ago Mitt was caught off camera saying he would never get the vote of 47% of America because these people felt entitled and would always vote for Obama. Mitt did not offer a solution to 47% of America, he did not offer them a path to jobs. He just wrote them off. Trump has not written off any American. Trump has many African Americans supporting him including Ben Carson and many  African American clergy. One thing I can say for the African American clergy is they want to empower African American youth. They want to empower them with jobs and careers. To them the only candidate that talks about jobs for all American youth is Trump. Why would extremely smart people like Ben Carson and African American leaders all over the country support a racist. This alone shows you how ridiculous the accusation is.

The media has also been at fault for calling candidates racists. Racist is a very inflammatory word. It puts the candidates, their supporters and their families at great risk. There are many people out there that do not separate truth from fiction. In addition, there are powerful leftist groups that take advantage of these individuals to push their agendas. These groups do not want jobs for all Americans. They want people to stay poor. When people remain poor, these groups stay in power. It's that simple.

The media has asked  Trump to tone it down. In my view, they should take their own advice.


Hear Mitt Romney talk anout 47% of Americans that would never vote for in 2012.
