Please,
just for grins n’ giggles, ponder this empire altering point;
what if the pawns, the small, simple-minded but extremely useful
idiots who, as Black folks, sided with the Nazis, the Klan, Cops
unions, organized crime, Wall Street, Motorcycle gangs, etc., etc.,
and voted for Donald J. Trump in 2016, what if they pulled their
heads out of their asses and voted for . . . anybody the Democrat
Party nominates - be it Mr Peanut, Yogi or Smokey the Bear, the
Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man, HR Puffinstuff, Little Red Riding Hood. .
. it just doesn't really matter to tell you the truth . . . damn near
anyone the Left could tag would be better than this twisted, sinister
SOB who acts with no conscience, no soul.
Trump
has no heart, instead it’s a 1975 cash register, no brain -
only a “value meter”as the ones employed last century in
Queens New York pawn shops.
Oh!
The irony of it all: the very people Donald J. Trump’s America
detest and decry - black folks, you and I, those his people harbor no
good will towards . . . what if those foolish traitors don’t
vote for him in 2020? Dig it: We can save ourselves! We don’t
have to “hope n’ pray” this particular White man,
and men like his lackey Stephen Miller have mercy upon our black
asses.
We
don’t have to weakly base the fate of the Black American empire
on the obviously limited empathy and sympathy of most white
Americans. It’s clear most of White America is blind to
history, blind to undeniable facts and filed with blind hatred,
blinded by
We
have the political power, i.e., oh dare I say it, the “Black
Power” to influence, to impact our destiny, and that of our
children . . . . Black folks don’t let black friends vote
for Trump . . . .
Ok,
now what if the roughly 30% of Latino/Asian Americans don’t
vote for this clown?
Cleary
Trump and his people don’t see “you people” as . .
. people. Despite the assimilation, accommodating, the dying
of hair blond, the changing of names, the Americanization of your
culture . . . you aren’t honorary/quasi/semi-white people,
matter-of-factly, to be bunt - in Trump’s world they struggle
with the high-mined notion you are “people,” and
if they begrudgingly do conclude you’re almost as human as they
are - then they rationalize the separation of families and the
“caging” of babies as “how you deal with
uncivilized people.”
What
if, we, as the victims, if not survivors of this
centuries-long American nightmare - people of color who’ve been
unwelcome, unwanted - pimped, used and exploited from day-one, and
still today in the 21st century remain the human targets of Trump’s
storm-troopers . . . and no matter how high we go . . . Trump’s
rank n’ file, led by his mid-level minions go low, gutter low?
Look-a-here,
as Americans-of-color, we don’t have to “go-out”
like this. As a people, who despite over-over-paying our dues for
countless decades and generations with our devalued blood, sweat and
tears, if Trump is reelected by a rigged, crooked and untrustworthy
electoral process we will face an angry white population obsessed
with disdain and contempt for us, and driven by blind hatred to
force-fit us into 1937 monkey suits - living life in a segregated and
unequal United States where we are seldom seen and hardly ever paid
attention to - merely living our lives as nameless, faceless 2nd
class semi-citizens.
Americans-of-color
have much more control over our fate than we’d like to admit,
we could, if we place as big a priority on “politics” as
we do sports, music and watching “The Real Minstrels and
Sapphires of any-hood USA . . .” we might be able to save Black
America from half mad white folks.
Yes,
we have Black Power . . . we’re just too distracted and dumbed
down to put it to work.
Our
kids don’t have to go out like most of Trump’s America
wants us to go out - quietly, meekly, ignorantly unaware of what’s
really going-on because we’ve been dumbed-down by an urban
public miseducation system which hasn’t prepared black folks
for anything but a second tier, subordinate lot in life as spectators
and entertainers, not active, informed participants and contributors.
Remember,
Black folks don’t let black friends vote for Trump . . . .
