meet guys from all different walks of life; from the poor inner city black neighborhoods of Detroit to the wealthy white suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. From relaxed beach towns of California to the wet farmlands of the Midwest. As a young man, one thing that I quickly learned was that

what already

makes America

great is the

diversity of

people that we

have in this

country. Being

able to learn

and hear

stories about

different

cultures and

backgrounds

was a pivotal

time in my life.

The guys that I

shared a locker

room with day

in and day out

quickly

became my

brothers. Not

just the guys

that looked like

me, but

everyone on

the team that

wasn’t black,

which included

white, Hispanic,

Muslim, etc. Almost 25 years later, they are still my brothers and one thing for certain is that we all had each other’s backs. So if you disrespected one of us, then you disrespected all of us. If you discriminated against one, then you had everyone else to deal with. This leads me back to those Trump supporters that have friends that are black, Latino, Muslim, etc. How can you possibly claim to be a friend of a minority or woman and back a guy that is probably the most overtly racist person to ever run for President? Do you not care about us? Or is it that Trump just hasn’t personally offended you yet? Please explain! Your true colors show that when it comes down to a racist or your minority friend, then the racist wins.
