The election and my children's future

(It's been awhile! Sorry, as the writer, I am finishing up my Practicum of for my Specialist Degree, so it has been keeping me busy. Trying to get back to blogging for the Carr Chronicles at least once a week!!)

With the upcoming election, I started thinking about what it will mean for my children's future. (Ok, this is the ghostwriter here, I have an idea of how my sister and BIL will be voting so, this is written from that perspective.) Just remind you, there are FIVE Carr kiddos roaming around. C, M, C, Z and K.

Alright so, let's start with the biological two: C- 13(eldest boy) and C-11(middle girl). They are from my flesh, so guess what that makes them? Yes, Black, African American, how ever you say it. You see the color of their skin before you even know their name. People have already made judgements about my two biologically born children before they even open their mouth to speak. With that being said, what will their life be like under the Presidency of a certain person whose name we choose not to say... Yes, it's like Harry Potter, people. You just don't speak the name. Will the venom this man spits out of his mouth touch the skin of my children and burn them to the point that their opportunities will be stifled in some way?

Now, to my three lovies that came into our family...M-13 (eldest girl), Z-6 (youngest boy) and K-5 (youngest girl.) They are in the system. It sounds bad, but they are in the system of they get services and benefits from the state and the federal government because they were adopted. Will these services be stopped? Will this particular person put an end to funding? I mean, did you see the really nice impression he did of the reporter with the disability? Yeah, he has a TON of compassion for people that need services and that have special needs.

Basically, what it boils down to: Will my children's lives be valued under a President like this? Will I be valued in a Presidency like this? Ask yourself this question? If you say "yes!", you really need to think about why and how you feel this way.  Also, you might want to check your privilege at the front door. And if I hear, "the lesser of two evils.." Damn people, that is not the way to pick a President! You have two other options...write in or third party. Educate yourself- especially before next Tuesday! Think about your children, think about your friends and family as well.

Till next time!!
