Trump once again shows racist, white supremacist views (He's an enemy of democracy)

Today, the DACA human beings' lives hang in the balance. Recently, Donald Trump disrespected countries like nations from Central America, Haiti, and other African nations (The racist Trump said that he wanted more immigrants from Norway). This is confirmation of not only Trump's racism, but of his xenophobia too. Xenophbia is a cousin of racism and both evils ought to be fully condemned and eradicated. He has disrespected nations with a high number of people of black African descent, so he is a disgraceful, repugnant male (he's not a real man). The situation with DACA or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals deals with many political issues. These immigrants (who have DACA) are precious human beings who came into America as children and they are undocumented. They have worked hard incredibly in education, and they have contributed greatly in the mosaic of American society. America itself is heavily influenced by the cultural influence of immigrants. Today, the GOP and the Democrats are discussing a DACA compromise. The problem with the compromise is that some want the compromise to include the militarization of the border. This comes after recently when ICE agents targeted 7 Elevens against immigrants. The words of Ezra Lazarus (as found in New York City) wanted to promote compassion to immigrants. We all are either descendants of immigrants or descendants of slaves. I am a Black American and I'm a descendant of slaves. Therefore, we have to advance the renewal our commitment to promote immigrant rights and to realize that diversity of cultures represent our succinct strength as Americans. I have no respect for Trump. DACA should exist, Haitian immigrants ought to receive due respect, and any immigrant ought to have their human rights protected.


Arpaio running for Senator in Arizona is another disgraceful episode of how many in the GOP has embraced overt racists and xenophobes again. Arpaio denies the birth certificate of Obama and he is known for his racial profiling of human beings who are of Hispanic descent. The recent, evil comments from Trump about Haiti, African nations, and Central American nations shows his racism once again. People have criticized Trump on many quarters. Also, it is important to realize that Trump is a racist and spewed racist rhetoric for a long time. This struggle for justice is a long one. I did a lot of research and I have learned that solutions entail heavily with grassroots organizing, communication, and progressive insights (which focuses also on living wages, investments in infrastructure, and growth of adequate housing for poor & working class people especially). The White House has not denied Trump's comments. Trump is a cancer not only to democracy, but to human decency as well. The good news is that millions of Americans reject Trump's overtly racist and xenophobic agenda. Trump's views of hate aren't representative of progressive Americans who view immigrants and other minorities as valuable, as equal, and as entitled to justice.

Yesterday was the Birthday of Sister Mary J. Blige and she is 47 years old. She was born in the Bronx, NYC and she was raised in Yonkers, NY. When you think about the anthems of the experiences of black women, Mary J. Blige has shown that and more. She is glamorous and she is honest to show realism in her music. Her music stirs up emotions and inspires relationships to be better. When you listen to her music, you get into a journey into black life filled with the ups and downs. Her gifts include her profound talent, her strength, and her great honesty in showing how she feels to the world. She is not only a singer. She is a producer, a songwriter, an actress, and a businesswoman. She is the Queen of Hip Hop Soul. Her first album from Uptown Records was "What's The 411?" It came out in 1992. It was groundbreaking filled with flavor and flyness. Her fashion style is elegant and filled with superlative creativity. She was part of a new generation of numerous artists who mixed R&B with hip hop and with soul. She continued to make more albums from My Life, Share My World, Breakthrough, Strength of a Woman, etc. She keeps it real. She has experienced love and heartbreak. 9 Grammys and over 75 million records sold are part of her long list of accomplishments. She has gone through joy and pain, but her life shows us that the strength of a woman won't be relinquished. The power of a woman is here to stay and Mary J. Blige's legacy is totally eternal. She has a kind heart too. I wish Sister Mary J. Blige a great Birthday.

Yesterday was the Birthday of Sister Kim Coles. She is now 56 years old. She was born in Brooklyn, NYC. Brooklyn has a long history of great culture. Kim Coles is a comedian and a famous actress. She attended a private Lutheran school and was quiet and studious until high school, when her sense of humor emerged. She graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School. For years, she was in the show In Living Single. When I was in elementary school, middle school, and high school, I watched it at Thursday nights on TV. That show gave us a glimpse into young black people in NYC having jobs, participating in romance, and living life filled with its idiosyncrasies. The characters of that show outlined the complexities of black life as black people aren't monolithic. It combined humor, drama, romance, and insights into how we live. She was in many shows from Fraser to Celebrity Mole. Also, I will mention this too. She shined her light and she shown the beauty and the dignity of plus sized Sisters. We always honor Sisters of many sizes. Now, she is married to a humble, great man and we congratulate her on her union. Humor can bring out the greatness in us and Kim Coles has used humor as a way to display her vibrant personality to the world. I wish Sister Kim Coles a great Birthday.

There is good news in the world. One is about Baltimore. Baltimore is the city of many of my relatives from my father side of the family. I visited Baltimore before. It has beautiful architecture. One Ex-NFL Player and Teacher Aaron Maybin raised money to keep one public school warm. He raised $76,000 to help his elementary school to provide heat to children. He also donated clothing to give to children too. This story shows the compassion of a black man and it shows the importance of how strident, strong education is necessary to advance for all people. When you think about very talented actresses in the younger generation, you think about Sister Aja Naomi King. Yesterday was her Birthday today and she is 33 years old. She was born in Los Angeles. She was raised in Walnut, California. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a Master of Fine Arts from Yale University's School of Drama in 2010. She was involved in many productions in Yale. Her dream was to be involved in acting and she has fulfilled her dream in greatly, magnanimous ways. She has appeared in movies and television shows. She loves to inspire greatness in people and she is a living representation of Black Excellence. She's a gorgeous black woman. I wish Sister Aja Naomi King a Great Birthday.
