Obama’s Powerful Response to the Charlottesville Protest
Have we mentioned that we miss President Barack Obama?
His response to the Charlottesville protest was a powerful Nelson Mandela quote.
Obama said: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love. For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” – Nelson Mandela

Now, just compare this to Trump’s initial tweet:
We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!
