As a southern white male born into privileged I did not realize what I had and it took me WAY to long to open my eyes to realize that what my African American brothers and sisters wanted is best for me as well.

The base of our party in the south are People of color. I decided I’m gonna be guided by their example. God knows they have more skin in the game than I do.

Now I can’t wait to see how President Obama chooses to weigh in. I’m thinking he will wait till trump finishes his self immolation with the virus.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
