I’m a Young Black Man and I Support Donald Trump
Time ^ | 8/30/2016 | CJ Pearson

Posted on 08/30/2016 7:20:14 AM PDT by simpson96

In the past 15 months, I have found myself supporting four different candidates for President: Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders and now billionaire businessman and Republican Party nominee, Donald Trump. As a 14-year-old, I may not be able to vote in this election, but I am deeply invested in its outcome.

Some have ridiculed me for supporting various candidates across the ideological spectrum. In a condescending blog post last December, conservative radio host Erick Erickson accused me of desperately seeking attention, questioned my intellectual capacity and instructed me to “shut up, and go live life.” This reaction makes one thing clear: many people in the “old guard” do not have the slightest understanding of the political philosophies of my generation.

I believe that the future of America is post-party politics. I hope that in 10 to 20 years, the near constant issue of partisanship will be a distant memory.

The shift is already beginning. According to a 2014 Pew Research study, 50% of millennials identify as political independents. In 2004, that number was a mere 38%. Many people in my generation support the person—regardless of political party—who they believe has the capacity and ability to lead. The future and stability of America are far more important than ego and party.

That’s why I’ve decided to support Mr. Trump, and it’s my sincere belief that flocks of other young people will soon follow.

The independent streaks ingrained into the hearts and souls of America’s youth are the cornerstone of the billionaire’s youth appeal. The problems of America’s young folks are far bigger than Snapchat and emojis—undeniable truths Hillary Clinton doesn’t seem to understand. In the coming weeks and months, while Mr. Trump is releasing detailed policy proposals to deal with the issues plaguing young America, Clinton will likely still be doing what she seemingly does

There is a young man who wants an opportunity, not a hand out.

In time this young man could become a first rate intellectual... of the old school type. The University of Chicago needs to reach out... and bring him into the fold.

I feel sorry for any 14 year old who has to think about politics. He needs to enjoy a couple more years of his childhood.

Stay sheltered young man as long as you can. They lies of politics will overwhelm you soon enough.

I think he will be sadly disappointed.

The kid is thinking, and I like that.  As for his idea that parties will fade and we'll all be independent, another group would spring up and there would still be two lines of thought.

In a way though, if you look at the Democrat and Republican parties today, his idea hits pretty close to home.  They ARE one party.

Bleh. Gun control? White privilege? No thanks.

Bharf. At least he's not out selling drugs, and he's trying to do some actual thinking.
