I am an Alabamian. Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama. God, I have and will continue to apologize for Alabama. I have accepted that is a fact of my life. We have a horrible history, horrible. Our past will always, always be with us. It is embarrassing! It will never, ever go away. Nor should it! We must always, always remember! We must never, ever forget! Just like the Holocaust, we must never, ever forget! I am so sorry for all the ways Alabama has hurt, killed, and murdered her people! I am so sorry for how she treats her people today! I am so sorry for all the hate that spews from many of the people of our beautiful state -— from her white, sandy beaches to her highest point at Mount Cheaha. I am sorry, so very sorry, for all she does that hurts her people.
There is only one reason that I am proud to be a Southerner. I have always been proud of the South for birthing the Civil Rights Movement!
I support Bernie Sanders because he has always, always fought for civil rights and social justice. He has always fought for “the least of these”. He truly cares about people. He’s not in politics for the money, nor for the power. He “gives a shit” about all people -— he always has and he always will.
What motivates Bernie Sanders to be President of the United States of America? What motivates Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States of America?
