In the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election, The Whitehurst Blog makes no endorsement. Me personally, I'm not voting for any of these candidates and here's why:
There is no way I'm voting for a Republican or a Libertarian. The Republican Party (proud home of the Tea Party) wears their bigotry like a badge of honor. The Republican Party doesn't even pretend to like people of color in general, and Black people in particular. As this relates to the Libertarian Party, Libertarians are just Republicans running under another party banner.
As far as Hillary Clinton goes, I remember her campaign as being the group that started the stupid and racist "Birther" movement against Barack Obama in 2008. I also never forgot the fact that Hillary Clinton had investments in apartheid South Africa; when every person of conscience was told to divest. Between 1978 and 1981 she owned shares in DeBeers diamond mines...Can anyone say supporting an apartheid economy and blood diamonds simultaneously?
Lastly there is Dr. Cornel West's chosen candidate, Jill Stein from the Green Party. I was thinking of voting for her, but she considers Wikileaks to be heroic. I think Wikileaks is a threat to national security. Besides that, they've published personal info on everyday people, including outing a gay man in the middle east where such a revelation can be deadly. Wikileaks has also published the personal information of rape victims and children -- absolutely disgusting! The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, even made a veiled threat against Bill Maher when he was interviewed on Maher's show.
I'm not voting for any of these candidates! I'll stick to the congressional races. Now that Obama's presidency is coming to an end it's back to really sub-par candidates! President Obama hasn't been perfect, but in my opinion he's been very good! He ended the war in Iraq, created a health care system (as flawed as it may be), he got Osama Bin Laden and he pulled us out of the economic meltdown that George Bush left behind. The inept candidates in this election won't have the same accomplishments, because their aims are very different from what Obama's were. Based on who wins, the next president will either benefit Wall Street (Clinton) or Wall Street & Klan Street (Trump). Neither one will be too concerned with welfare of Black Street!
