My friend Alan is running for President to bring to light 4 issues harming the US. Today, Racism

Fellow white men, we have a problem, and only we can fix it.
Our group is stained with racists, misogynists, xenophobes, Islamophobes, homophobes and other reprehensible sorts. They, their words, and their actions are, in a word, deplorable. They degrade and diminish our group. Only we can change their behavior. It does not fall on their victims—African-Americans, immigrants, women, and so on—to change them. It falls on us. Only we can improve our reputation by changing our group’s behavior.

The truth is, we will hear the bigoted comments long before the targets of this hatred ever will. White supremacists and misogynists and others are acting from a place of cowardice and weakness, not a place of courage and strength. They are less than they know they should be, so they strive to put others beneath them. Fear of these groups causes them to share their vitriol in private with other white men far sooner and far more often than they ever—if ever—get the courage to speak or act publicly.

He knows he is running a gadfly campaign - but he travels around the country and every small radio station or local newspaper that interviews him as gets an earful of truth.
