This time last year I have to admit, I didn't see Donald Trump as serious presidential candidate. I saw him as someone whose role was simply to force the Republican Party to look at issues that he and his team deemed as important. I never expected his bid for the White House to last more than two or three months. I thought he'd be out of the race before Rick Perry from Texas. Boy, was I wrong.
So here we are. Donald Trump is the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president of the United States of America. This really is happening...
I am African American and a proud Texan. I have a multi-cultural, multi-racial, melting-pot, "portrait of America" family. My family is African American, Mexican American, European American, Chinese American, Colombian American, Nigerian American, Middle Eastern, Muslim, Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist, Church of God in Christ, Methodist, Veterans, Disabled Veterans, formerly captured Veterans, gay, straight, women, men, women in their child-bearing years, academicians, political activists, artists, musicians, actors, doctors, business owners, CPAs, teachers, school principals, professors, therapists, postal workers, salespersons, law enforcement, supervisors, real estate agents, nurses, finance managers, hourly workers, volunteers, retirees, coaches, pastors, authors, college students, law school students, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers.
I am America.
I can not support or stand with someone who offends or threatens the safety and stability of my family.
I will not be Trumped.
I vote.
