I think I'm about to lose some friends on FB thanks to the status I just put up regarding the current protests and the whitehouse press conference
I'm so sad to see some of my friends turned out to be trump supporters..they are not bad people but the fact that they do not see the fear minorities are experiencing is baffling and something I just can't stand for, especially since I myself am a minority in this country.
I'm an international student and here's something that people might have already expected. Nationalistic/extremist political interests in my home country are using Trump as an example to rally people to their cause...it's absolutely frighting.
The world has gone positively fking mad
Here's the thing...
A good friend is your friend despite your differences. That's what a real friend values, and a true friend challenges your beliefs and dares you hold yourself accountable to a higher standard.
It's the difference between a real friend and a fair-weather friend, who only can tolerate you if you fall in line with their group-think mentality.
I have friends who are Christian, Muslim, Atheist, gay, straight, male, female, African, Asian, young, old, conservative, liberal... because we value each other despite our differences and we can disagree and still show one another mutual respect and friendship.
... It's only the ignorant who cannot bare to be in the presence of someone who thinks or believes differently than themselves.
