The Democrats have been promoting the diversity that makes America truly great, something the G.O.P. lost in the anger at their quadrennial bigot-fest last week. Sure, the Democrats aren't exactly saints, their candidate for President (a Methodist) still supports capital punishment - what's with people of faith and their love for the death penalty? One things for sure, we heard more Spanish in one hour in Philadelphia than in 4 days in Cleveland. Talking about that language (associated with Republicans losing sleep), there was a moment that gave bigots worldwide a collective heart attack. I give you exhibit A: Adriano Espaillat (member of the NY State Senate), a formerly undocumented immigrant (yes, the American Dream is still working) was on stage, not just as a state representative but, as the nominee for New York's 13th congressional district (which he is certain to win). My sincerest apologies, to another New Yorker hell-bent on flaming fires, get used to someone who was an illegal immigrant representing the Empire State on Capitol Hill.
See Canada, we are still accepting down here, even though we have blatant racists on "fair and balanced" news network trying to suck the love out of humankind. Thus far this week we are witnessing the real America, one where you are welcome no matter what. Another guest on the night was a Nevada State Senator, speaking proudly as an African-American lesbian war veteran. After last weeks debacle the world thought America was a white supremacists mecca - only 18 out of 2,472 (0.73%) delegates at the G.O.P. convention were African-American (who make up 13% of the U.S. population), need I say more! The Democrat Andrew Jackson (from cleansing Native Americans and rounding up slaves fame) is a hero to many in the G.O.P. Today, he would find solace among supporters at a Republican rally, no wonder they are being led back to the dark ages by a full-blown racist. I urge all the hateful conservatives to find the nearest time machine and teleport back to 1829, where you can play all the race games you want.
This election cycle has established that haters are going hate, no matter how many times they listen to a sermon in church about compassion. If you genuinely seethe at the downtrodden (I include hateful posts on social media), yes, I am talking the undocumented, impoverished fleeing persecution, disabled, homeless or heaven forbid someone who looks different to you, than you are no person of faith. All you are, is a two-faced empty vessel hiding behind guns, god and a hateful cult passing off as a political party. In November, a revolution will take place in these United States, one that will flush out the rednecks who can't bring themselves to say: black lives matter. While you're at, take that Confederate flag and go back to the continent you originated from - that would most probably mean "socialist" Europe - oh, the irony.
