America has always been a country founded, built and sustained on institutionalized white supremacy... not white supremacy. What I mean by that is that the distinction between perceived small group or personal FEELINGS of supremacy over anything or anyone is not power.
In order for that to exist, there needs to be an object
to feel supreme over. That object must in some way, comply with that
perception, be it tacit passivity, obedience, agreement, a perpetual fight to
prove that supremacy does not exist through some kind of competition or
surrender into a Stockholm Syndrome type of assistance with said agenda.
I don't care about that one at all, it’s a waste of
time and effort to try and convince white supremacists that you are as good or
better than they are at anything. The whole perception is false from the start
so why argue with a fool about a fool's game?
The REAL issue is POWER! White Supremacy is
institutionalized. That is the real boogie man. Trump sits at the seat of power
brokerage in the White House. (aptly named) Corporate America indeed dictates
public policy, not Trump, Congress, or the Senate; Not city council, mayor,
state reps, ombudsmen etc., but Corporate America!
Trump's comments, racist as they may be, are not just
the rantings of a neurotic sociopath (which he is, no doubt), but also playing
to his base, which is a pristine representation of what America always has
been, is now and will be.
Trump is the product of a familial line of racists true
enough, but more striking is that he and all those who agree with him are
backed by INSTITUTIONAL white Supremacy/Racism. As long as the institution
exists, so will those in Trump's ilk exist and thrive.
Unless America is broken down to nothing and remade
from scratch, any and all efforts at thwarting institutionalized white
supremacy, corporate greed, and capitalistic one-upmanship will fail.
People keep complaining about how Trump has disturbed
some sort of domestic tranquility that existed under Obama and past presidents.
You would have to be the largest, most glaring fool on earth to think that with
all the history, both past and contemporaneous to buy That lie. There has NEVER
been one second since the "founding" of this country that what we see
today has not always existed.
Trump feels emboldened to say ANYTHING that comes to
mind. This comes from the FEELING of white supremacy and with him, because he
has had millions at his disposal, he knows how to drive public policy as a
member of the corporate elite.
Others have done so, from the Kennedy's, Bush's and so
forth. They were just far more astute at maintaining a certain decorum (which
is an illusion and Trump is showing you that) while they cluster-fucked us all.
Bush went as far as used his "Faith-Based Initiative" to buy off Black
preachers to curry favor and garner votes as well as keep any ruckus down from
the Black community over his ugly policies, particularly in education.
Reagan initiated the push to destroy unions and look
now... Clinton put thousands of us in prison and thousands into abject poverty
with the 1994 and 95' Welfare and Prison Reform Acts... The list goes on and
on.
So, even though Trump's vitriolic rants are
super-racist and ugly, don't be fooled by the left hand. In the right, is where
the real power is wielded. The entire Republican Party in real time, while
Trump is uttering some of the most racist shit said in nearly 100 years, says
absolutely nothing...crickets...
That is because they too are driven by corporate greed
and votes keeps them on the gravy train. Most Senators and Congress people are
rich. The Senate is mostly millionaires. Off of 175,000 per year?
Yes, what he said today hit a new low for a president
TO SAY...but that's all. He is stirring up FEELINGS and yes, those feelings can
stir up hateful acts. Just remember, that hateful acts against Black folk is as
deeply woven into the American fabric as mom's apple pie.
Calvin Coolidge hardly uttered a word in the White
House (except his comments on Birth of a Nation) yet, Blacks were being lynched
every single day in this country. America is simply a racist nation!
