I'm just glad that I've been in all day life from day one pretty much to help instill values such as believe in biblical principles in the work ethic.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE & PUBLIC SAFETY
Mandatory minimum sentencing should be required and enforced for violent crimes.
Agree

Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
I do not think I do not think that racism is a threat to domestic security. I grew up in the sixties at that time people of color will refer to black American we will only 10% of the population. Racism existed back then and I didn't stop anyone that had a drive to succeed. I think our skin was very thick and tough and going to determination and I will to succeed in spite of those obstacles. Now people of color are referred to as African Americans. And now constitute 13% of the population. I find this younger generation his extremely thin skin.
