TEENAGER CJ PEARSON LOST HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GRANDPARENTS OVER POLITICS.

TEENAGER CJ PEARSON SAYS HE HAS LOST HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS LIBERAL GRANDPARENTS OVER HIS CONSERVATIVISM.

CJ PEARSON: "For five years I have made a name for myself as a proponent of conservatism and a supporter of President Trump. A young, black male with a set of principles that count as a rarity within the community from which I hail.

For the past five years I have watched as my relationship with my grandparents deteriorated. Bonds which I believed to be life-long are fading for no reason other than my politics.

I come from a house divided. Not only by political ideology and affiliation, but by generation. Both my grandparents – who have raised me since birth – are proud, card-carrying Democrats.

My grandparents grew up in a time in which blackness inherently meant liberalism, or leftism. A time when the color of their skin dictated their politics. We no longer live in such a time.

I refuse to allow the box that society put them in to hold me captive as well. Trump supporters are brutalized in public. Right-leaning personalities are targeted on social media. People are struggling to make ends meet because of liberal intolerance.

But for everything gained – from opportunity to notoriety – it has not come without a hefty price. The single biggest casualty is my relationship with two people who I love more than anything: my grandparents."

WHILE SAD, THE 2016 ELECTION EXPOSED THE TRULY INTOLERANT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE. TURNS OUT UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WAS A LIE!

COURAGEOUS PEOPLE LIKE CJ, WHO STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT REGARDLESS OF WHAT OTHER HUMANS THINK, ARE MY HEROES.

REAL RELATIONSHIPS BEAT SUPERFICIAL POLITICALLY CORRECT PANDERING EVERY DAMN DAY.
