"Do we want a society that breeds success, or a culture that cancels everything it even slightly disagrees with?
After
starting my business and spending time in local government, I ran for Congress
in 2010. The district is based in Charleston, South Carolina...where the Civil
War started...against a son of our legendary Senator, Strom Thurmond.
You may be
asking yourself how does a poor black kid...from a single parent
household...run and win a race in a crowded Republican primary against a
Thurmond?
Because of
the evolution of the heart, in an overwhelmingly white district... the voters
judged me on the content of my character, not the color of my skin.
We live in a
world that only wants you to believe in the bad news... racially, economically
and culturally-polarizing news.
The truth
is, our nation's arc always bends back towards fairness."
