Welcome to the United States of Trump

I thought on November 8th, when I asked to write a commentary about the election it would be one of joy, and hope for the future thinking that Hilary Clinton would be our first female president.
Unfortunately, and unbelievably that did not happen. Instead, Donald Trump was elected into presidency.
This election was not one of hope but of hate. This presidential transition is not a welcomed one for most people.
Donald Trump has brought out the worst in America and all of the darkest elements of society.
His worst followers, the racists, anti-Semites, anti-immigrants, and anti-Muslim haters want to make America great again.
My question to these people is how can Trump make their lives so much better than it is now by being bigoted and racist?
According to the Southern Poverty Center which tracks hate inspired violence and vandalism, there’s been a rise in these kinds of incidents since the election of Donald Trump.
He is already talking about deporting millions of so called, “illegal immigrants” who are violent criminals on national television.
This election should be a wakeup call, for not just black people, but all minorities and people who want to live in an accepting environment.
The sad thing is that people from east to west are protesting in the streets all day and night, but here in the south we sit silently and do nothing. People in Louisiana need to wake up. We need to stop acting and thinking like we just got off the plantation.
Instead of being amazed about the unimportant, we need to be fighting. What a sad day is when at an HBCU, nothing has happened.
What are we going to do, wait like the Jewish people did in Germany during World War II for the trains to bring them to extermination camps?
If we had any pride in ourselves as a people, we would be letting our voices be heard instead of being sheep lead to the slaughter.
This election is a lesson of why you should vote and why as the future leaders of this country, we should be questioning our government and the Constitution. Why are our lives still dictated by an outdated document, that most people in today’s world cannot comprehend the meaning of? This election should be the battle cry for a revolution. We as a people need an intellectual revolution.
We need to inform ourselves more on the issues.
This is our country, built on the backs, blood, and tears of our ancestors. We should be ready to fight for it and protect it from the tyranny of a few.
This is our wake-up call. Wake up Southern.
