The real enemy

It’s been a tough day to stay focused and work with everything going on in our country right now. The Trump press conference is the final straw and I’ve called it quits for the day. There are more important things to worry about at the moment.

If you need any obvious evidence that there needs to be systematic change in this country, all you had to do is watch the moron’s press conference to realize where his priorities are. This country is protesting the use of violence by police and blatant racism. Yet he is threatening to deploy the use of the military to quell the protests. The man itself used violence and force to clear out a peaceful protest for a personal photo op in front of a church.

The violence needs to end. Looters and rioters damaging property and innocent businesses is fueling the racist fire and that’s what Trump wants. Trump wants chaos. He wants to find an excuse for us to divide ourselves so he can walk into a second term later this year.

I remain hopeful that this is a pivotal moment in our country. Are we going to be remembered as the generation that started the change to systematic racism or the the generation that rioted and looted stores?

The enemy is racism and hate. We need to not forget who the real enemy is.
