I am really embarrassed by what has been said in all of the comments. I was born and raised in Youngstown, attended Youngstown city schools, and my grandparents have owned a business there for close to 50 years. I see the real issues that are a factor, and racism is one of many. The problem is that no one in this country wants to address the real issues. Most of Ohio Public schools are in bad shape, we are ALL struggling to make ends meet. Between my husband and me we make decent money. We do not get assistance from the government, but we can barely make ends meet because of what is happening with this country. No one talks about the outrageous daycare costs, grocery costs, inflation, and how that affects your life. Let's be real, in the last 8 years this country has gone down the drain. Is that our fault, or the fault of the people we have put in office? I went to college, I have a good job, and my husband has a good job and was in the service. But what are we left with for all of our hard work, what is he left with for defending our country? Nothing. Everyone needs to stop making crazy comments about who looks better, or what a person's skin color is and address the issues. When do we stop being selfish and start looking at what is best for everyone. I am always looking for ways to help others, it sounds like everyone making these comments needs to review the idea who will be better for the country. Examine the websites of the candidates, look at the plans, look at the history, and then make your decision.
Letson, Hagan say some Valley McCain supporters are racists
