Peon on Discrimination: Irwin Tang, Author of John McCain's Racism and Why it Matters

Someone who should probably be heard and something that should be a consideration as we learn and decide who to vote for.



My father was a steel worker. He used slang terms for people from other countries in his day. My mother NEVER liked it. My father was not a racist. My father was not a hater. My father is not running for President of the United States. My father and mother both would be proud of me for standing up for what I believe in. RIP, Mom and Dad. I miss you both.

I believe we must think about these issues as we make our decisions and cast our votes. I do not want to see civilization go backwards. I do not want to live in a world full of hatred, hate language, violence, retribution, the need for revenge and war. It is time for Change. The time is now.

Peace and Love,
