John,
A friend just texted me the latest asinine comments that Whoopi Goldberg has made about our country and African Americans. She just can’t help herself from saying the most egregious things to get a headline.
But to compare the life we have in the United States to one in Iran is beyond the pale. We are blessed to live in a free nation, one where we can pave our own paths, one where a kid like me whose grandfather picked cotton could become a United States Senator.
I have a history of disagreeing with The View, and today is no different. I honestly don’t even know who watches them anymore or how they are still on air.
I am proud to be American. I’m proud to be a BLACK American. And I’m proud of this great nation and what’s to come. If you are also a proud American, I hope you’ll join me in my work to continue making this nation great.
I’m committed to working hard to ensure future generations live in an even more prosperous United States.
