U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump has been lambasted by Urban Pop group Fifth Harmony for “catering to racists” with comment he’s made during his campaign.
Read their thoughts and fears below…
The five-piece band spoke to ‘Latina‘ magazine about their thoughts son the businessman’s beeline for the White House.
“As an immigrant myself, to have someone say such disgusting things about my people — my dad who came from Mexico, my mom who worked at Marshall’s before she became an architect, and me pursuing my singing dreams — it’s terrible,” Cabello said.
Nineteen-year-old Jauregui talked about how Trump inspires her to urge young people to vote.
“We have the mass majority, and if young people don’t get involved in the voting process, then Trump’s going to win,” Jauregui said. “He’s catering to a portion of Americans — the racist ones. It’s little things like that. If I can get 20 more girls to vote than that’s 20 more votes against something that could be negative.”
For Normani Kordei, imagining Trump as president is a just a frightening prospect.
“That really scares me — to think that he could be my future president, and have power of my life, my parents, my friends,” Kordei told the mag. “For him to be president would be a step backward.”
*Applause*
America was built by immigrants. Shoot, a lot of it was built by s**** labour. The western world owes minorities their wealth and prosperity. Trump becoming president would be a slap in the face to people of colour the world over. I have faith in the American people though, don’t make the mistake us Brits made in our last election and elect a corporatist hypocrite. You can’t – not after Obama. It’s social s******.
Good job for the girls using their platform!
