Some true and powerful words and why I know we will always grow and be better:
The media can portray [race relations] in a negative way or positive way," she said. "But I feel like if the people really want to change, they would take steps towards that. ...
"If the country as a whole, if they really want to take that step forward, in gender equality or race equality, then to me it doesn't matter who is in charge. You will take that step as a nation to move forward. ...You have to be the change for yourself, and that's what matters in the end."

The country needs to give Mr. Trump a chance to try and bring this country back together, all parties have to be willing to want to except help in healing the nation.

It would be nice for the country to give him the chance, to see what he can actually do and if this mess can be turned around. While he wasn't my first choice, I am behind him to succeed 100%, and I hope it happens quickly and beyond my expectations for the sake of our country.

As I see it, many expected way too much from Pres Obama and now the same is happening with Pres Trump. With that said, I think he will do some things people like and things people do not

He is one man and can not do it alone. He can verbalize & tweet his message until he is blue (vs. orange -little levity) in the face BUT he requires our support and guidance. WE must help him, beginning at the grassroots level to make the changes from the streets of our homes to the interstates that connect us. Instead of all the violent protests , one off marches, media fake news, exploits of hate and daily pontifications of diversity...WE need to change the topics of the day. Little by little if we join forces like we all can...the healing process will begin.
