With that hesitation, Trump, who is as thin skinned as
an over-ripened tomato, rescinded the invitation to the
Golden State Warriors and then went on to blast Curry for
his stance against such a White House visit.
Politely, Steph Curry indicated that such a visit would
be in effect a mockery of values that he holds dear, values
which should also hold true and dear to all Americans. He
regrets that Trump expresses any sentiments that value white
supremacists ideals.
Trump's outrageous support of the Neo-Nazis who openly
marched and chanted and carried lit torches (reminiscent of
Hitler's Germany) in Charlottesville, Virginia was in
complete derogation of the American ideal that such hate
groups and supporters of any hate groups should be openly
and forcibly denounced.
But not Trump! He vacillated on categorically denying
such groups any semblance of allegiance coming from the
White House. He simply could not bring himself to totally
shame and chastise right wing groups for what they
are...anti-American.
Trump could not bring himself to declare that the KKK
and The White Citizens Council were first-class domestic
terrorists groups that, in the past dark history of this
country, had the stamp of legal approval on their scandalous
conduct towards minorities and Jews and others whom they
deemed were non Americans.
No, Trump, acting like the boorish child he is,
willingly took on the mantle of a rebuffed benefactor of all
things good to little negro children and told them that they
have made their Massa mad so he was going to smack their
round brown bottoms with a dis-invite to the White House.
So, knowing that he is in the friendly environs of the
deep South...Alabama, Trump smelled out that his audience
wanted more red meat from him and he obliged.
He next took on the former 49'er's quarterback, Colin
Kaepernick for his original stance of sitting (now kneeling)
when the national anthem was played at football stadiums in
which he was a player.
For Kaepernick, Trump reserved the harshest criticism
of his actions by saying in effect that this talented
quarterback was a, "son of a bitch.”
As you know, Trump has no moral code or filter over his lazy
mouth and mind and to call this man a dog and his mother a
bitch, was over the top!
Massa Trump was mad that these two uppity negroes were, in
his opinion, running off the plantation and they needed to
be stopped before they turn other plantation negroes "bad".
Massa Trump even went so far as to inject his poison
into the employment practices of the NFL owners by stating
that when an NFL owner sees an uppity negro not stand for
the American flag, that such an act should be cause for
firing the offending negro.
Massa Trump covered himself in the flag when he made
these comments by stating that such an expression of freedom
of speech has no place in sports and the offending negro
should go to a country that he is more comfortable with than
America.
Of course his fawning base loved it that Massa Trump
was willing to put into their place these two uppity negroes
who had the audacity to think for themselves and to take
action that offended Massa Trump.
It is one thing for Massa Trump to have white folks
confront him but to have negroes possess the unmitigated
gall to challenge his flag beliefs... that sent him off the
edge by calling out Kaepernick's mother as a bitch and Colin
as part of her brood!
Never mind that the American flag also represents your
right to either stand or sit during its playing at a sports
events.
Never mind that the American flag was a symbol that
black Union soldiers fought and died for and they too and
their progeny, have the right to determine, "If I sit or if
I stand, it is my choice!"
Never mind that during Trump's privileged upbringing
during the turbulent Sixties and Seventies and to current
date, that black people have been marching and protesting
and dying to make that American flag work for them.
No.... because Massa Trump, did not learn a thing about
sacrifice and bravery and heroism from the civil rights
marchers and which marchers were the sentinels that demanded
that the freedoms of that flag work for everyone.
Massa Trump's lack of knowledge of American history is
so breath taking that he would have the temerity to go on
national television and in one instance laud white
supremacists marchers and in the next instance vilify two
black men who were operating on their beliefs that were in
line with American values.
Massa Trump's denigration of both Curry and Kaepernick
in their exercise of the freedoms that Trump enjoys everyday
again shows the Grand Canyon gap between two Americas.
One ruled by a small-minded man who has yet to date to
apologize to President Obama for the birtherism lies he
originated; and to the five black men now known as the
Central Park Five who were exonerated for the allegations of
rape during the time that Trump was a New York media hound
who used those wrong convictions to run his race based game
against all things black.
And the other America populated by the rest of us who
are a captive audience listening to the histrionics of a man
who by any stretch of the imagination is totally unfit,
morally, intellectually or otherwise to sit in the Oval
Office.
