The Jewish candidate picked a Muslim lawyer who was elected to congress to help shape the Democratic Party platform. My heart swells.
Keith Ellison is the first Muslim in the United States to
be elected to congress and to add to his diversity is an African American.
"Americans can speak hatefully about Muslims in ways that would never be tolerated if they were speaking about blacks, Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, told reporters Tuesday.
At
a news conference to discuss Islamophobia in the U.S., Ellison, the
first Muslim elected to Congress, said the ability to promote bigotry
and discrimination against Muslims with impunity will not end until
Muslims "build up political cachet."
Groups who are being discriminated
against need to become part of the system, vote in large numbers and be given
powerful positions. In order for that to happen adults who believe in equality and democracy have to be in charge of the country. This is the only way we can achieve any kind of equality.
When those with differences from the majority are in the view of the public people can see that those who are from
another race or religion are just like the rest of us, we are all Americans with
similarities.
In politics, regulations, policies and justice religion is not supposed to be a deciding factor, but each individual has their own personal beliefs to help them with their own lives. Ellison believes in separation of church and state which some people do not know is prohibited by our Constitution.
This is a Muslim man who talks about equality for women, the world needs him to be in full view.

From his Bio on his website: Rep. Ellison’s guiding philosophy is based on “generosity
and inclusion” and his priorities in Congress are building prosperity for
working families, promoting peace, pursuing environmental sustainability, and advancing
civil and human rights.
On July 26th, 2015, Keith Ellison predicted on ABC Trump would be the Republican presidential candidate and they laughed at him. Who's laughing now?
Keith Ellison is very politically conscious. In this next video he calls Hannity out and then chews on him a while for his "yellow journalism." "Quite frankly you are the worst excuse for a journalist I have ever seen." "Wait a minute you said I could rant and I am." Then later he tells Hannity he is immoral for the lies he tells. I love you Keith Ellison. He has the courage to speak the truth and stands his ground.
Rep. Ellison starts at 3:10 on the video but you might want to watch from the beginning to see what got him ranting.
The last video from Al Jazeera is about Ellison's personal history, being sworn in with the Quran, that his brother is a Baptist minister and other family members have other faiths and some of his views. His dad is a retired psychiatrist and his mother is a social worker. This video is showing the United States has a congressman who is Muslim (there are actually two now) so they can see the majority of us are not hateful morons, the problem being morons are very loud and talk over everyone.
The DNC is scared or this would not have happened. The only reason they allowed Bernie Sanders to pick people to help form the platform is to try to get the Bernie or Bust people to vote for Hillary Clinton and stop the migration we are forming in the direction of Philadelphia. Ah-ha-ha-ha. It is not going to work.
This is not an update, it's just the usual disappearing video blogger scenario.
