Last week, a United States Representative of Congress tweeted, and then doubled down on Sunday in several interviews about the supremacy of the white race, and that white folks need to have more babies in order to surpass the growing population of the non-white citizenry. This same congressman last July also said that white Christians have contributed more to Western civilization than any other “subgroup.”

Where were the voices of Congress denouncing this man?

      I voted for Bill Clinton, but never turned away when he so egregiously lost his moral way. I was angry and said so publicly. So should those who voted for Trump.

      All I can do is pray they have eyes to see, and begin to take a stand.
