To What Sinister Depths Will MAGA Go?

Today it’s arming teachers in Tennessee and banning abortions, nationwide; only God knows what’s next, or how far their meanness will go.

Black people to the back of the jet?

What’s next? I believe I have an idea: They’ll go low: gutter low, snake belly low. And re-segregate transportation, re-segregate hospitality, and lodging, and resegregate housing… for a start.

They want to be able to purchase, online from Sam’s Club, personal tanks for home protection. They want to be able to “stop and frisk” people of color on a White person’s whim because they’ve got a gut feeling those boys aren’t up to any good and shouldn’t be in this neighborhood.

Governor Abbott and the Texas Klan want to have the authority to demand Latino people’s papers today; tomorrow we will see a return to “Sundown” towns across MAGA Land. Watch.

MAGA will try to forcibly integrate the NBA and WNBA, and if that doesn’t fly, they will try to outlaw basketball.

I ponder if NFL owners would return to barring Blacks from playing in the league. There are a few who are considering it today.

Yes, I wholeheartedly believe White men, MAGA men, would have no problem, in the year of our maker, 2024 to demand a 77-year-old Black woman give up her seat on a subway or bus seat for them, none whatsoever. Remember, in their deaden eyes, women of color aren’t ladies worthy of the respect accorded them, they are simply, merely the females of the inferior species.

Schools, stores, hospitals, cemeteries, and campgrounds

MAGA folks don’t want to rub shoulders with Black and Brown folks in any of these situations and activities. They don’t desire to shop at the same grocery store as Costco with Americans of color, they don’t. They most definitely don’t want to share a hospital room with Mexican Americans or Asian Americans. They don’t want to be buried next to Arab Americans and they don’t want to drive 700 miles to Yosemite, hike a trail, and encounter a Black family hiking along the trail also.

My daughter and I just hiked one of Colorado’s more fabled trails, The Hanging Lake Trail, and we were the only Black folks we encountered, it is, let us say, interesting to watch the reactions of some of the folks along the way. Some are so friendly, and some are so crappy. It’s akin to being at Disneyland and having to sit next to someone Black on a ride. I’ve seen some just pass on their ride after a 57-minute wait.

These reactions aren’t unimaginable because this is the America White people, specifically White men, handcrafted and maintained from 1619 until, well, right here and now. And let’s be honest, it’s not like that still today only because they were forced/coerced to evolve.

I’d like to say I’m shocked by their xenophobic contempt and animosity for others, but I’m not. It’s simple: millions upon millions, upon millions of Make America White Great Again cult members do not like Black and Brown people. That’s it, it’s that simple.

White Flight has created two, three, maybe 4, or more different and deliberately segregated Americas. MAGA-minded White folks, the card-carrying type to the casual in-the-closet sympathizer, both do not want to rub elbows or mix and mingle with Black folks and it’s not a new thing, it’s a return to their parents and grandparents’ mentality, and societal outlook.

Please note, that I use return with reluctance because I don’t think this racist, sexist, and elitist mindset ever disappeared, it was merely swept under the rug.

MAGA would outlaw interracial marriages – and this is a big one. I think they’ll try to outlaw interracial dating if they can. Look no further than the “Goon Squad” in Mississippi where a band of local law enforcement members beat and tortured two Black men for fraternizing with a White gal. That form of barbarity is as All-American as Coke, Hot Dogs, and Corvettes.

Gay people will be shoved back into the attic and closet in MAGA states. No holding hands or kissing in public.

The banning of hairstyles, clothing, and movies. The burning of books.

Tell me it’s un-phathomable for them, yes those people, to introduce burning women at the stake for attempting to have an abortion. Let us be blunt; they are tons of MAGA men who haven’t kissed a woman in years, if not in life and they are pissed because they aren’t the type of man any enlightened woman would want – 40-year-old angry virgins.

MSNBC, CNN, NPR, LA Times, and San Francisco Chronicle, go down the list of powerhouse media operations that Lord Trump detests; they’d all be silenced if MAGA had their way.

Beyonce would be jailed for taking over by “crossing over” into the hallowed land of Country n’ Western music, while they would outlaw and ban rap music. And I’m very serious about this one, this form of expression is not acceptable to our former masters and they’d like to put a halt to it now if not yesterday!

Snoop, Queen Latifa, Dr Dre, Ice Tee, LL Cool J, yes, even all the ol’ school cats would be imprisoned.

Sure, you can chuckle, roll your eyes, and dismiss my observations as those of an aging and ever more angry Black relic, but you and I know, little to nothing is beyond the realm of what diabolical alterations to life MAGA would ram down our throats.

Tragically I just don’t think mainstream Americans of color understand and grasp the deepness and complexity of the shallow, simpleminded hate that is harbored for us by so, so many. If you just stroll through US History it’s clear to see where we are headed if the MAGA cult has their dreams come true.
