Look,
honestly Hillary’s being highly generous if you ask me. Perhaps
maybe even magnanimous if you really think about the elements
in Donald Trump’s flock. Here’s what she said;
“You
know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s
supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The
racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name
it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted
them up. He has given voice to their Web sites that used to only have
eleven thousand people—now have eleven million. He tweets and
retweets their offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.”
“The
racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name
it.”
Once
again, ask me and I’ll tell you that description taylor-fits
mainstream USA, i.e., White America like a white sheet fits the Klan.
Not the whole kitnkaboodle, but clearly half of the Republican
TEA Partiers are really Neo-Confederates – they have the
political/economical and social viewpoints that David Dukes holds
dear.
Clearly
the “united White front” Trump has brought together
unified under one roof is a coalition of “only” White
people, folks who fit to the “t” the term xenophobic;
Anti-multiculturalism, having an intense, irrational fear of
everybody who ain’t White, not like you, why that is the
foundation and cornerstones of American Exceptionalism/ White
superiority. Trump’s America wishes to isolate themselves from
Americans of color, reduce our numbers, i.e., power and clout.
Put up a wall to keep out a world composed of the unwashed
colored masses, insulate themselves from having to live day-to-day,
exist with Americans of color . . . but have them tell it, they’re
not racist.
Unarguably
with the endorsements of the KKK and American Nazis, Trump
supporters can be classified as “racist.” How can
Blacks, Jews and Latin-Catholics conclude anything else?
Islamophobic
. . . there’s no debate about it - Trump’s 4th Richt
is both anti Jewish and anti-Islamic.In the tradition of Reverand
Billy Graham and President Tricky Dick Nixon. What they are is
“pro-White and “Pro-Putin, who too is racist, sexist,
homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it.
Sexist
is an accurate term to be applied to a caveman like Trump who
basically said women ought be home in the kitchen, apropo for a guy
who, in all truth cried ”she’s on the rag” to
defend himself from FOX’s out-of-control wench, Megyn Kelly.
Trump’s supporters walkaround his rallies with T-shirts and
signs which refer to Hillary Clinton as a “bitch,” a
“whor” and a “cunt . . . “ “hang her,”
“shoot her”
The
Right doesn't need Trump to be declared the philosophical home of
homophobes, it always has been and continues to be a bastion of
narrow-minded neanderthals who can’t wait to beat-up a “fag.”
I
think what I find most disturbing about Trump’s collection of
mainstream USA misfits and oddballs is that they won’t take
ownership of “who” and “what” they
are. These are millions and millions upon millions of White people
who simply “don’t like” Blacks, Latinos Natives and
Asians. They despise Muslims from all walks of life. These are people
who believe Blacks were better off during slavery. Who believe
“Injunes” are better off on Reservations. These are folks
who believe women shouldn’t be President of this nation and
don’t warrant equal pay nor control over their own bodies.
If
a few million people tell you you have a tail, turn-around n’
check.
Nevertheless don’t
fear, there’s a informal litmus test which can quickly and
easily determine “who” and “what” is a
racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, i.e., a
deplorable Redneck., there exist a list of basic questions I
believe, which when answered can ascertain who‘s a flaming
Redneck. Here’s but a handful:
There’s a
“American Narrative” which goes something like this;
With raping n’ pillaging as a constant theme throughout,
the invading European colonialist either coerced or forcibly “took”
the entire land-mass from the Red man. Then these now genuine,
authentic “real” Americans kidnapped, imprisoned and
forced the Black man - at whip and gun-point to construct the
foundation of a fledgling empire. Black folks did all the heavy
lifting, we got our hand’s dirty, poured our blood, sweat n’
tears for 350 plus years. To enable the empire to further expand,
this nation's braintrust, with the rank n’ file Redneck
population backing them deliberately stole, by hook n’ crook
additional Southwest lands from the Brown man. . . . who was already
being exploited by other Europeans - the Spanish. And in the process
of constructing his empire’s coast-to-coast rail lines pimped
the Yellow man. While all -through this horror story keeping “his”
“personal property” - White women . . . barefoot,
with-child, uneducated and dependent upon her man/owner for her mere
day-to-day existence.
If you can’t see
the ”butt-naked” truth in this “version” of
events . . . you’re a sexist, racist, elitist Redneck my
friend.
If you still think
Trayvon Martin was an angry Black thug “looking” for a
fight - despite the pre-trial information and now the post-verdict
melt-down of George Zimmerman . . . after this murderer has crashed
and is burning right before our eyes - and in light of his gutter
antics you still believe him justified in killing young Mr. Martin .
. . than my friend I’d submit you’re a Redneck.
You know you’re a
Redneck if you’ve amassed a small arsenal of guns, have
anti-aircraft assault weapons housed in your suburban home,. a
bazooka mounted in your attic and enough ammo to supply Davy
Crockett at the Alamo for a year. .
If you think the 1861
Confederates were “freedom fighters” and not treasonous
Benedict Arnold's who died for the audacious “right” to
dehumanize and enslave Blacks., then obviously your a Redneck in
denial.
You know you’re a
Redneck if you believe it is a historically decadent Black Culture
resulting from sub-par DNA which is solely responsible for the
‘critical” condition we see tragically most of Black
America in today. If you can dismiss, marginalize and minimize the
role of historical White oppression and discrimination which resulted
in Black men being labeled Public enemy #1 since the year 1609 -
yeah, you’re a Redneck. If you honestly calculate White folks
to have been little more than innocent bystanders, pedestrians who’ve
no “pivotal” role in the demise of Americans of color,
you’re a delusional Redneck.
You know you’re a
Redneck if you rather have Uncle Sam use your tax money to build
prisons and not pre-schools.
You know you’re a
Redneck if . . . you regard legendary “Indian Fighter”
General George A. Custer as an American hero . . . and Sioux War
Chiefs Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull as the “Savages” who
massacred the 7th Cavalry at the Little Bighorn.
I’d argue this
notion, more-so than the overused “Is Christopher Columbus
a Hero?” stands as a more-clear determiner-of whether or
not Ted Nugent mailed you your secret Redneck Decoder Ring or
not.
You know you’re a
Redneck if you simply can’t, don’t, won’t believe
Blacks can physically swim.
You know you're a
deplorable Redneck if you really do fear a taco truck on every corner
. . . .
You know you’re a
Redneck if it makes sense to burn the White House sheets and towels
after the Obama’s leave in 2017.
If you think the NFL’s
Colin Kaepernick is an ungrateful, “uppity” Nigger
who ought be shot, lynched, castrated - any of the good ol’
fashioned all-American methods . . . than my friend you are a
Redneck.
If you believe Trump
formed “elite US Immigration “stormtroopers” ought
go door-to-door hog-tieing n’ dragging little 7 year-old
little girls along with little 77 year-ol’ grandmothers out of
their homes in the middle of the night, homes some have been in most
of their lives - grew-up and old in. Then placing them on the 2:15
Greyhound bus to Yuma, then at gunpoint forcing them to walk back
across the Rio Grande into a land neither may know nothing of -
Mexico. The prime motivation . . . supposedly, as a people Latinos
don’t seem to be as accommodating and desiring of assimilating
into mainstream WASP society as fast as the Irish or Polish did a
century ago.
You Know you’re a
Redneck if you honestly believe God is a classic 1968 Hollywood “B“
movie Nordic Viking, with long blond Hippie hair and baby-blue eyes .
. . rollin’ around in a 1967 VW van.
You know you’re a
Redneck if you believe the only racial discrimination still
practiced in the US is “reverse racism,” i.e.,
every-other White guy’s brother’s cousin's nephew lost a
job to an unqualified Black person.
You are undeniably a
racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you
name it Redneck if you support Donald Trump. If you can minimize,
rationalize and in the end vote for Trump despite the endorsements
and pronouncements and you believe making America 1952 White again is
the “greater good” this empire ought be working towards,
then unquestionably and undeniably you’re an individual who
fits the description of a Redneck.
Once more; if the sheet
fits, wear it, proudly and loudly, take off that suit n’ tie,
that uniform and tell the nation you hate everybody.
