Dear CJ Pearson

Dear CJ Pearson,

I'm writing to you in regarding you video about President Obama and Ahmed Mohammed. I appreciate the fact that an intelligent youth such as yourself takes an interest on what is going on around the world. We as a people need young kids like you to focus on important issues. You are still a little baby in this world. I think you haven't fully experienced the ups and downs of life yet. When you grow up into an adult, maybe you will feel differently about where you stand in world issues and politics. You have so much growing up to do. You also need to broaden your horizons more. I'm curious about who is influencing your opinions because children your age can be easily influenced, whether it's by other children or even grown ups. I would love for you to be a leader and not a follower. I would love for you to have your own mind and no one else's opinions. I strongly advise you to read more books and expand your education, that way your opportunities will reach the sky. If you don't read more and expand your education, you're going to taken advantage of by a variety of people.

Donald Trump As President? I Don't Think So!

Hello Everyone,

So Donald Trump wants to be President of the United States! He is a successful business man, I will give him that credit. But when it comes to government, he just don't have what it takes. Mr. Trump don't understand that there is a difference between running a business and running a country, they are not the same. So far the only so called quote on quote issue that Mr. Trump has been talking about immigration and nothing else. He hasn't discussed the issues of education, foreign policy, etc. There are some people who are fascinated with his so called "tell it like it is" attitude. But all Mr. Trump is doing is spreading and influencing toxic rhetoric and racism among his followers who look up to him and respect him as a United States 2016 Presidential Candidate. Donald Trump has placed unapologetic stereotypes among immigrants, calling them rapists, drug dealers, and murderers. Mr. Trump has not only damaged himself with immigrants who are illegal, but he has also damaged himself with immigrants who are United States legal voters. Mr. Trump has also damaged himself with voters who are part of the United States Territories. Immigrants come to the United States to look for a better way of life, just like his ancestors and ancestors of  other white people came to the U.S. years back because they wanted a better way of life. Also, the United States of America is not just "black and white" anymore. The U.S.A today it made up of so many different races such as Hispanic, Latino, Middle Eastern, Asian, Caribbean, Pacific Islanders, Oceania, African and Native Americans. There are also a variety of religions such as Christianity, Islam, Hindu and Judaism. The United States of America is changing day by day, always moving forward to Progressiveness and there is no going back. Also, it is not right and it is fair for Donald Trump to label immigrants as rapists, drug dealers and murderers because some members of his race for centuries have been doing the raping, the murdering and the controlling during historical imperialism and colonialism. Those labels that Donald Trump put on immigrants are those same labels that racist white people put on African Americans sixty years ago. He says that "China is taking everything" during one of his political rallies. In my opinion, this is not true, people. I, Shaunta Williams, am begging you to please don't believe the hype. I think this is a scare tactic toward his followers. The truth is even though USA is a wonderful country of freedom and liberty, we as a country can't create and/or provide our own resources for survival, therefore it is important for the USA to maintain a friendly and progressive relationship with the countries that they are trading and exchanging products with.
