2) Electing a new president will not make racism go away, although having one that unites us instead of one that stokes the racism fires for his own benefit will help tremendously.

3) Just being a Democrat, or a Republican, or a Christian or (insert whatever title you think absconds you from being a racist) will not make racism go away.

We have work to do.

4) I pledge that I will not look away. I pledge that I will work harder to educate myself about what actions I can personally take to help myself and others around me be better and not be racist.

5) I pledge that I will keep myself aware of what actions help & what actions hurt. I pledge to do all I can to try and repair this race divide, and you should, too.

-Carol Abney,

Your next state representative, TN 38
