It’s Not About “What” the Democratic Nominee Is Going To Do “For” Black America, It’s About What Trump Will “Do” to Black Folks If Given Another Term

By Desi Cortez Columnist

For Black America, confronted with Trump - a modern day Andrew Jackson, a chunky George Wallace - a sinister clown backed by both the Klan and you’re local police - this isn’t the election to be idealistic, visionary, Utopian nor castle-building - we simply need to get this racist, elitist and sexist con-man out of the Oval Office.

As a Black American, If you have a problem figuring-out whether come November 3 , 2020 you’re voting “for” former Vice President Joe Biden for President, or even say Yogi the Bear. Bigfoot or Frosty the Snowman . . . versus Grand Pooh-Bah Donald Trump – then no, hell no you ain’t Black! Honestly, matter-of-fact if you’re struggling with this decision, then what you are is a complete fool, an useful idiot, a mindless, soulless, and spineless pawn . . .

Alas perhaps even a “sellout” if you’re backing Trump. Voting for Trump brands you a traitor to your people. Truthfully a vote for Trump makes you not much different than the Black folks who “snitched” on Harriet Tubman or who assassinated Malcolm X . . . you are the bottom of the barrel! I believe the most apropos term would be you’re a “White man’s Nigger . . ..”

If you are voting for Trump, or for that fact, not voting at all, or voting for a 3rd party/Independent candidate – then yes, hell yes – you’re a simpleminded dumb-ass, who’s either politically/socially ignorant, or there’s a financial reason behind why you’re betraying, alas selling your own people down the river, while in the midst of a racial cold war which is, as we speak, is igniting into this divided nation’s second civil war. This ain’t the time nor the place baby to get all philosophically high n’ mighty, but rather now is the time to put Jack back in the box, end the madness – tomorrow we’ll reconfigure the world, make it colorblind, feed the hungry, heal the sick, raise the dead . . . all that.

The moment demands Black America be both “practical” and “pragmatic” We, as a people must make a realistic choice – vote for a change, not hold out for a long-desired and of course undeniably deserved Messiah. This ain’t the time nor the place baby.

Sure you want a palatial and plush Beverly Hills mansion, but considering the storm coming if Trump is reelected, most folks with common sense will seek shelter in a log cabin.

For Black America, confronted with Trump – a modern day Andrew Jackson, a chunky George Wallace – a sinister clown backed by both the Klan and you’re local police – this isn’t the election to be idealistic, visionary, Utopian nor castle-building – we simply need to get this racist, elitist and sexist con-man out of the Oval Office.

It’s not about “what” the Democrat nominee is going to do for Black America, it’s about what Trump will “do” to Black folks if given another term in what will be the klan sheet white White House!

Wake-up!

Of course I’d like a New “New Deal,” a “Square Deal,” a Presidential “to-do list’ which resembles the Black Panther Party’s 1966 Ten-Point Program, “What we want, what we believe.” Nonetheless I will settle for Joe Biden’s agenda. Sorry, but with age comes wisdom and the ability to recognize that with compromise comes change. I want Fredrick Douglass as President, but I’ll settle for Joe Biden, because I want the bigoted tyrant out of the Oval Office.

Look, if we can end the 7-ring traveling freak show circus that is the Trump Presidency, sheer population numbers dictate America will never have another man, backed by the Klan as President.
