Is this the same person who in times past was the
brainstorm behind the group, NWA? Trump, in this late stage
of his seemingly failing campaign, is trying to hook onto
the rapper’s fame and base and earn some votes.
Knowing the racist tendencies of Trump, do you really
believe that this late in the political season, that Trump
has any muscle left to do anything of credence for Black
America? He had his chance for four years and he ripped it
up!
Is Mike Tyson so simply punch drunk that he is totally
clueless about Trump and his racial rants about Black people
that he would endorse him?
And what is up with the famous Cleveland Browns
footballer, Jim Brown?
Has he lost his mind sitting up in Trump’s Oval Office with
that clown, Kanye West, and Brown looking as if he lost the
powers of speech!
You can Google: “Negroes” who are on the Trump
plantation and how they swoon and go starry-eyed when they
are in the presence of this racist president.
You wonder. You really got to wonder, how do any black
people fall off the turnip truck and wind up supporting a
man who clearly has no affinity for nor care for them or the
collective plight of Black Americans?
Trump has consistently shown by his words, lies and
deeds that he considers Black people a “different” type of
human.
Why do I say this? When he was throwing red meat to
his deplorable base and was worked up about Colin Kaepernick
taking a knee for social justice regarding White cops
putting Black men and women in early graves, he said (it is
on tape) that he wished that the NFL owners would throw
those, “Sons of Bitches off the field.”
For those who do not know, a female dog is known as a
bitch. Trump dehumanized Black men to the point that they
were deemed as the offspring of dogs breeding.
That comment alone should have shredded any bond
between Black people and Trump. But no, some of “our” people
have heads that are harder than granite boulders.
They have no shame and know truly little history of who
they are and where they came from. All they see is a chance
to be in the spotlight and maybe get a few dollars in soft
monetary contracts; and to be spokespersons who must tie
themselves in knots in order to explain his bizarre
statements.
How can Ben Carson continue to fawn over Trump? How can
any Black person with two working brain cells kiss Herr
Trump’s ring finger and come away with any sense of personal
worth or value?
When Trump repeatedly excoriates and traduces people of
color and some of those lost souls run back for more, I
think that it is a sickness, a mental health issue.
The book by Dr. Frances Welsing (The Isis Papers)
is instrumental in explaining such low esteem that people
who purportedly “have it all together” show out shamelessly
for Trump even when he clearly demonstrates traits and
vocalizations of being a white supremacist.
A book entitled, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome
and authored by Dr. Joy Degruy is also enlightening
describing how Black people can become so inured to their
own self-interests that they are easy prey for a huckster
like Herr Trump.
You can see the Black apologists for Trump on
television trying to defend his unconscionable behavior and
virulent commentary towards people of color.
But, yet, even when such racist language comes directly from
the mouth of Trump, his Black followers, ostensibly cover
their ears and cackle on about how much Trump has done for
the African-American community!
Trump’s racist history is out in the open for all to
see, hear and evaluate but still, some Black people will
break a leg trying to get to Trump so they can touch the hem
of his garments!
When I see these sycophants cloying over Trump, it
makes me nauseous to realize that they are overlooking his
sordid racial history as if it does not matter to them but
all that counts is that Trump talks a good game and for
them, that is sufficient.
Do we all have to think alike on all issues? Of course
not. But let us be crystal clear and without any reservation
that when a person repeatedly says to your face that the
Confederacy (slavery included!) was not all bad or that
there are fine White supremacists or he calls your Momma, a
female dog, that person does not deserve an iota of your
support.
The effect of brainwashing as a result of being a
subjected people for hundreds of years has not totally worn
off on some Black people who insanely feel a sense of safety
and comfort being in the presence of those who have
expressed their animus towards you, but yet, you hold fast
and true ever hoping that they will call you in from the
cotton field and into the glories and pleasures of their
plantation house.
