“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” ― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

#Icantkeepquiet

I have some moderate/conservative friends that are having a hard time figuring out what millions of their fellow Americans, indeed humans, all over the world are protesting. Is it Trump himself, his corrupt and incompetent cabinet picks, his ties to Russia and the fact that he may well be compromised, the fact that Russia interfered in our election to help him, his racism, his pattern of ripping off contractors, his multiple business failures, the way he demeans women, the way he demeans people of virtually every faith, his denial of the facts of climate change, his constant bald-face and obvious lies, his utter lack of impulse control with twitter, that he plagiarized a comic book villain in his inaugural address, that he and his VP are so cruelly mean-spirited on GLBTQ issues, that he boasts about his history of sexual assault, the fact that he is being sued for statutory rape, the fact that he has reanimated the KKK, that he can't string a coherent sentence together, or maybe it's the ghastly cast of horribles that now control congress, the fact that Trump will pick the next Supreme Court justice or three, the plans to de-fund planned parenthood and PBS, the plans to sell off national parks, and to repeal the Affordable Care Act and take health care from tens of millions of people? To which I say, "Well, ya know, there's alot more to it than that." - Thomas McElroy

" ...I'm asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours." —President Barack Obama

"My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won't stop. In fact, I will be right there with you, as a citizen, for all my remaining days. But for now, whether you are young or whether you're young at heart, I do have one final ask of you as your President — the same thing I asked when you took a chance on me eight years ago. I'm asking you to believe. Not in my ability to bring about change — but in yours." —President Barack Obama
"Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope!" - Barack Obama
In a nation obsessed with who belongs, a hundred million of us are, to some, "the other." But I know that Black, White, Asian, Latino, Native, biracial, multiracial, female, male, gender fluid, gay, straight, trans, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Hindu, Sikh, agnostic, atheist, We are ALL Real Americans. - Julie Lythcott-Haims
