Formulating a Response

I choose to write my blog on the article "Defeating Trump won't End Bigotry, Fear, Racism" by Leonard Pitts from the Miami Herald.

The links to the article and the letter to the editor are below-

The article is about who will be the 45th president of The United States and where we need to go from this point forward never the less who is elected. We have reached a point in America where economic insecurity, ignorance, bigotry and fear have consumed our Politics and have produced some scary pieces of work. First we had George W. Bush, then Sarah Palin and now Donald Trump, each of these people used one if not more of the forces mentioned above to their advantage in running for office or passing bills and laws. By confronting each issue individually and learning what we the people can do about what is taking place in American Politics we can stop another Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, or even someone worse from running for the position of President.

I enjoyed and completely agree with the letter to the editor by Gil Leines to AJC on this article. She bring up the point that the writer should not use words that they do not fully understand. In her short paragraph on the article she provides the definition of a bigot to show that the writer of the article was wrong for claiming Trump to be a bigot and to mention bigotry. She then questions the writer that by claiming Trump and his supporters to be by his definition bigots then what does that in turn make him.
