America Is Simply a Racist Nation

by Quincy Stewart III

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.
Donald Trump's campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" was first used by president 
Ronald Reagan, yes Trump is just Reagan in full expression! Indeed Trump is also the embodiment of republican presidents Nixon, Ford, Bush, and Bush, Jr. Their last names makes no difference, they're all right-wing leaders of institutional white male supremacy with the same agenda - Kenray Sunyaru

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!
