Did I mention I have an Bachelor’s Degree in English and a Master’s Degree in History with minors in Anthropolgy, Archaeology and Business and my dad has a PhD in Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and BioChemistry and a minor in Immunology? My stepmother has a PhD in Education and Special Education. Both were college professors for over 30 years? No? Just checking. ☺️ Dare I say, I don’t think I’m under educated. I started kindergarten at four (mostly because both parents worked and the only person that could watch me in the afternoon was my great grandmother, the child of former slaves who raise her daughter my mom, and helped raise my adopted sister, my half siblings and me). I would say I was lucky to have known multi-generational and multi-racial and multicultural relatives that stressed the importance of education, individuality and pride in myself so no one can make me feel like I’m not smart enough or strong enough to lift myself up without some insulting me into thinking my generation is uneducated and live in squalor. My dad was the son of a sharecropper, raised with 12 siblings in a one room house and everyone of them have raised honor students that went to college–some even inside of the “ghetto”. So it is not where you live it’s who you are raised. It is not what you are outside but inside. It is not if you are gay or straight. You were already born with the right to be who you want to be and live s you wish to live. What is the problem with America and my problem with Trump is that why do you need to insult people to make the point you are trying to help people. THAT is counterproductive and an insult to the people of all races, religious believers, sexes and disabilities that gave their lives to get to a place where we are supposed to ALREADY live in a world where all I am is protected by a 200+ year old document that states unequivocally that I have certain unalienable rights and that all men are created equal. I am who I am not because someone made me that way. I was born this way. Who I am is my responsibility–not my parents or Donald Trump. How I got here is being surrounded by people who believed in me. The last time I checked Donald J. Trump was not on that list. Not one president was on that list. But a leader that provides a positive attitude and HUMILITY helped make it possible for many to get on that list. I know who I am. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t have a problem with anyone being who they are so long as they respect themselves, respect others and take responsibility for their actions. Lying for a year to get into office falls short on all three of those things so forgive me if I choose not to live with leader of a country that felt lying and visceral, demeaning language was necessary to become President of the United States of America.–J.
