In 2019, most blacks and people of color would like to believe “There is not a racist bone in my body” is an accurate statement in the United States.
“Trump” With the first African American president, black businesses in every major city and black political officials in federal, state and local municipalities, diversity is a reality.
Yet with all these achievements, in one of the greatest countries in the world, there is a major divide.This divide is based on the color of an individual’s skin, which makes no sense, until you study economics, politics and business.
Power is based on what you own and control, and if you close your eyes, power may also be based on what you take by force.
Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump attacked four freshmen U.S. congresswomen by claiming they are un-American and should go back to their country. Everyone is asking the question: “Why.”This started as a tweet storm last month. It has turned into a nasty battle of words, where the majority of the media is calling Trump a racist. This tweet storm appeared to be racist and personal. Little was discussed by the president about the congresswomen’s policies.
“In America, if you hate our country, you are free to leave. The simple fact of the matter is, the four congresswomen think America is even more wicked now, that we are all racist and evil. They’re entitled to their opinion, they’re Americans. Now I’m entitled to my opinion, I just think they’re left wing cranks,” says Trump.
UNFIT
It is obvious, that the first thing the president thinks comes out of his mouth, and it does not matter if it makes any sense. The president is not fit or mentally stable to manage America as commander-in chief, but over 40 percent think he is doing a good job.
As this new social media and campaign rally attack from the president on the four congresswomen escalates to a higher level of insanity, everyone in America is picking a side. The four congresswomen last month called a press conference to denounce the president and asked for a draft to be drawn up to condemn his racist language and tweets. The resolution was passed in the House of Representatives last month to condemn the president.
BELIEF
The amazing issue about this battle is that over 40 percent of Americans believe that the president is correct. During a campaign rally last month, a packed house, with the majority being white Republicans, chanted “Send her back.”
With the media claiming that Trump initiated and supported the yelling, the president is being forced by the vice president and some of his consultants to distance himself from the chant.
“After smearing Rep. IIhan Omar (D-MN) as anti-Semitic – and letting the crowd at his Greenville, North Carolina rally roar ‘send her back’ for more than 10 seconds – President Trump has falsely claimed he continued his speech immediately after the crowd started yelling,” said Tana Ganervo, a reporter at Raw Story.
The chants of “Send her back” is a turning point. Racism in 2019 is out in the open, with the election of President Trump leading the way.
It is easy to argue what constitutes the act and whether someone is a racist sometimes. But Trump does not care what blacks and people of color think. He is only concerned with his base, and he feeds them red meat daily.
There is something fundamentally wrong when the president does not care about values and inappropriate statements, because his goal is to only make America white again.
