On
the behalf of all Americans of color, every single one of us . . .
I’d like to tender to Donald J. Trump a sincere and heartfelt
“thank you” for playing a critical role in exposing the
“true” colors of most, surely not all, but clearly
most White folks.
“Most.
”That's a lot.
Lord
Trump, thank you for putting a orange face and voice to 21st-century
“White Nationalism,” i.e., good ol’ 19th-century
“Confederatism.” Thank you for providing a stage for your
like-minded supporters to voice and display their distaste of
everyone who isn't a White man. Trump’s brought out the
Confederated-minded Redneck seemingly embedded in much of White
America.
“The
Blacks love me” . . . White-man please!
Ok,
sure I could make the argument America’s new emerging mosaic
majority could/should be thanking President Obama, because it was
his Presidency which has pushed Trump’s “Silent Majority”
off the proverbial cliff of deceit, into the valley of honesty.
However I’d argue it’s Lord Trump’s willingness,
his aristocratic audacity to articulate what the rank n’ file
White person is thinking, but is unwilling to utter in mixed company.
Trump’s
revived and revamped Reagan's infamous Philadelphia Mississippi
message; Make America Great/White again.
Over
35 years ago, 1980, I was optimistic the Ronnie “666”
Ray-Gun White backlash Presidency would provide the 2:37 AM
wake-your-ass-up call Black America needed to hear in 1980 - for we
were an “adrift,” “rudderless,” people coming
out of the 1970’s, but for a vast array of reasons Black
America did not wake up as the Last Poets were begging we do.
Black America’s situation has gotten obviously worst.
Additionally,
on behalf of women, I'd like to say thank you to Lord Trump, he’s
articulated the medieval mindset most meatheads on the philosophical
“Right” maintain; women should be controlled, rewarded
and punished for not adhering to White males wishes and whims which
they’ve camouflage as God’s word in Ted Cruz’s
“good book.”
Now,
to hear the white man’s perspective, they’re the only
Americans who truly love and respect human life - while most Jezebel
minded women don’t. And only White men can serve as the sole
unemotional arbitrators of race-related issues, only he can render an
unbiased, objective, impartial race neutral opinion on issues from
Affirmative Action to workplace discrimination to police brutality,
only he can.
Ain't
that a bitch?
See,
for almost the last half-century White people, particularly men have
pretended to be enlightened or even ‘cured,” made
“colorblind” and no-longer “see” skin-color,
nor for that matter do they see gender, race, or class as a factors
or variables in determining one's weight, worth or measure.
Gee,
what a change.
Undoubtedly
we’ve all had to endure listening to some shape, form or manner
of this hollow, shallow ludicrous WASP company-line for
decades, but due to Conservatives losing their goddamn minds, having
to endure over a decade of Black-rule, (doesn't that have a beautiful
ring to it – Black-rule - we’ve this “real”
American revolt we’re in the midst of, which has given life to
Donald Trump's candidacy.
Trump,
spurred-on and emboldened by his inherent pompous country club
conceitedness has exposed the “real” White man - what he
would say and do if he could. Nonetheless the emperor has on no
clothes. Donand has, in all reality stripped-down butt-naked, baring,
divulging mainstream White America’s heartless heart n’
soul-less soul, for all the world to see. Trump has emotionally
elaborated on issues White politicians usually only give cold,
indifferent, unemotional canned replies to.
Trump's
told the burning bush truth, at least the Euro-American’s
version of current affairs, and I thank him for that honesty, be it
based in arrogance or ignorance.
The
Don has overpowered and out-talked the slightly more “polite”
White men, who feel virtually the same way, but based on a lack of
gumption . . . they’ve been forced-to take their klan robe off
while in public, Trump don’t give a damn. That’s why the
police, military folk and the Klan love him. Black folks have made
the argument this alliance, the “WASP trinity” has
existed for centuries, and we’ve been told we were paranoid and
blaming others for our own shortcomings, but now we know what we
always knew to be true
Thank
you King Trump, for not giving a damn.
Additionally,
on behalf of Latino-Americans, American-Muslims,
Asian-Americans,thank you Mr Trump. Without Trumps arrogance, his
unbridled, audacity to tell the angry White people's truth - we’d
all still have to walk around “pretending,”
“playing-along-with” the ridiculous notion White people
”liked” us. Now we know millions upon millions of White
Americans want to erect walls and export Brown and Black people, now
we know.
Now
we ain't gotta, never no-more do we have to act as if “White
hatred” which manifest itself in discrimination, bias and
favoritism is a mere figment of a Black or Brown person’s
childish imagination, because that’s the GOP gibberish they've
been trying to tell us all these years. There’s no
discrimination in housing/education/banking/ employment or health
care - people of color just don’t muster-up to the
high-standards of White folks.
Now,
thanks to Trump we know otherwise.
