PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SHARE THIS. What is happening in our country right now is very real, and very scary. This is my family member that this happened to. In California, a state that is known for being so liberal. A BOY in middle school. Just because he is black he is now being verbally attacked, and physically threatened at his middle school. I cried when I read this letter, but now I am hurt and outraged. He is one of the kindest, respectful, and all-around amazing kids I know. Especially for him to be in middle school, (We all know those are the years that kids can be pretty bad) but not him. He is the LAST person that deserves this kind of treatment, and it breaks my heart that this is happening to him, and many others across this country. I took out all names and locations in this letter, to keep my family anonymous for their safety. Know that this is happening everywhere. Know that racists and bigots are emboldened by these recent election results to do and say what they want. I never thought we would be at this point again as a country. And to those of you who are about to say “All Trumps supporters are not racist, this is the minority of Trump supporters” PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG. I want you to. Go out and support the minorities and LGBTQ people in your life. Volunteer at an LGBTQ youth center, or go to a Black Lives Matter protest and support. Show that the lives of people that don’t look and sound like you are important to you. And most importantly don’t stand by while people in positions of power pass laws that endanger other’s rights. SHOW YOU CARE. Because as of right now, it seems that there is only heartlessness and/or ignorance in those who support this man. Please share so others can be aware of these things and know that this is unacceptable.
