I have never been as personally angry as I am now at a President. It was bad enough that Joe Biden accused me (not personally, but my demographic) of being selfish and unpatriotic....but now I’m racist? I try to live morally and generously...but I’m judged because of the race of my parents!? Below is the body of a letter I’ve written and plan on sending to the White House tomorrow. Not visceral, but I hope they understand they stepped in it with this act.—

Dear Mr. President:

To say the least, I’m highly offended by the words used in your closing benediction, “when white will embrace what is right.” How racist! I’m sure this was reviewed prior to the ceremony and it shows to me a divisive and hateful spirit.

Well, this letter is from someone who cannot change the color of her skin, and desires to be judged by the content of her character. I have never written to the President before, and I hope to never feel compelled to do so again.

I have every respect for the office of the Presidency and I expect my position as a responsible citizen of the United States would be honored and respected as well.
