An Open Letter to All Citizens of Clinton County, Ohio

Good luck, Hope you Remember Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s famous quote "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you Ain't Black," translation, If You Don’t Vote for Me, ‘You Ain’t Black’, So you “Ain’t” Black if you Vote for Trump? That’s embarrassing and a slap in the face to all Black voters. Think about that, Before You Vote, and again Joe continues with another racist quote, “The reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home was because some Black Woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.” What a shame. Then he also said, in 1977, that non-"orderly" racial integration policies would cause His Children to "Grow Up in a Racial Jungle." Then again in 1975, he said, He Favored maintaining Segregation between Races, claiming it was Better for “Black Pride.” Question: Why are Black Americans giving the Racist Joe Biden a pass, and accepting his racist comments? Why?

I am glad to see WAMA do this. And I recall WAMA sponsored/hosted a public forum on the matter several years ago when there was less momentum on the anti-racism front. Bravo.

I'm proud to stand with you against racism - to listen when I should listen, and to act when I should act. Together we can create a community that truly serves all its members equally.

We do not live in Clinton County but fully support this statement on racism. Thanks to the community for making this public statement. Our country needs healing, not more division.

We will realize that accepting that we are all in this country together we will be a more innovative, interesting, and creative people. Let's get started!

Thank you for this opportunity to, as a community, face the cancer of racism that has grown and spread throughout our people and seek justice and peace for all God's children.
