At the request of my former USA President Barack Obama [ pdf ]- date 8-5-2019 - I declare:
THIS IS AMERICA! I AM AN AMERICAN! I support the values of tolerance and diversity - as they have been spoken of and exemplified by former USA President Barack Obama - and, his family members. I believe these values [Tolerance and Diversity] ARE the "hallmarks" of USA democracy - and, the basis of our success - as a country.
INDEED, as a Columbus, Ohio born; inner city-public school and college educated, senior person - [now retired] - but, previously employed all over the United States - of America - I have witnessed - that diversity - when examining a problem or opportunity - aids finding a solution - or, designing a new product - significantly. It is a strength! I am grateful that my co-workers - from other countries - were able to tolerate the slow and clumsy "Buckeye" - who wrote very long End User instruction manuals, etc. I could not have accomplished my task - but for, the help of my patient co-workers - who trusted me; and, my teachers - who taught me.
I soundly reject words coming out of the mouth of any person that feeds a climate of fear and hatred - or, attempts to normalize racist and sexist sentiments. Humans, who demonize others - based on what a person looks like - their sex - their age - who they love - or, those suggesting that people, arriving in America legally, threaten my way of life; Or, persons who imply that America "belongs" to just one type of human - are just wrong! - and, they shall NOT be my "Leader". - Susan
