Donald Trump’s actions and the actions of those at his rallies go against everything we teach our children to be. We see parents at these rallies beat up people, spit on them, and call them racial slurs. No one comes to their defense. Trump is going to be Trump, but for you who are parents who support Trump, how can you stand for this? Though people protest at every rally, this does not happen on this level at any other rally, GOP or democrat. Parents should be making a bigger demand for respect and human dignity, which is what parenting is supposed to be about.

It is sad to see that some believe student athletes should just shut up and play ball. We lament so often about student athletes not being engaged in real issues today but Mizzou students prove that is not the case. This country was founded on the principles of dignity and respect and so we should applaud anyone for standing up for the opportunity to be treated like a human being. Sadly though, it is sad that the university only took action when money was threatened from potentially forfeiting a football game but it shows again that reaching people’s pockets is is more effective than trying to reach their hearts.

As long as we continue to put the N-word in our music, movies, and other areas of public life, we should not be surprised that other groups use the word. Every group has terms that they use among themselves but they don’t promote them to the world. It’s human nature. If we want the same level of respect that other groups receive relating to derogatory terms used against them, we need to clean up our own act.

Good day and welcome to my YouTube page! Here is where you will learn a little bit about what I do as a youth motivational speaker!

I never owned a Livestrong bracelet but if I did, I would still wear it. At the end of the day, it’s not about Armstrong. What does frustrate me, however, is all of the people who work hard and play these sports by the rules and come in second. They get nothing and that’s not right.
