A Trump Family Pageant
Slate ^ | January 23, 2017 | Katy Waldman

Posted on 01/23/2017 1:27:17 PM PST by blackbetty59

On Inauguration Day, America got an unsettling portrait of the smug, white, privileged blended clan now anchoring the White House.

Throughout the inauguration hoopla on Friday, the newly installed president was flanked by his family. Trump glowered in his dark suit and peculiarly long red tie, taking the oath, speechifying, signing documents. Beside him all the while, Melania glimmered like a comely aquatic alien in her powder blue Ralph Lauren coat. The children were there too: Ivanka and Tiffany streamlined in suffragette-white, Don Jr. and Eric with identically slicked-back hair, Barron looking older than his 10 years. They seemed to be going for sleek, unperturbed glamour. They were American aristocrats, impeccably groomed and confident.

This is a horrible anti-white article, even for Slate. Surprisingly, a lot of commenters are calling Slate out on it.

I guess folks are right.

Racism is alive and well in the United States.

Whites are still in the majority and 53% of white women voted for Trump.

Hysterical. I am loving this first week of my president. Even more fun than I had imagined.

Mygosh. The WH will now be filled with a loving, happy, multi-generational family. That’s a real weird thing to complain about.

“peculiarly long red tie” Petty, pathetic, racist, knit picking.

Yes, pure anti-white racism.

The left simply cannot stay away from racism.

In 75 years they have shifted completely away from anti-black racism to anti-white racism.

The writer seems a little unhappy. Like a sports fan who gets a bit personally involved in her team.

Katy Waldman is one sick puppy. Really, this woman is seriously mentally disturbed. Or - maybe - just a typical left-wing hater. Take your pick. Her shtick is pure hate.

Jealousy and envy are not attractive qualities. The scribbler reeks of both.

This woman makes Maureen Dowd look upbeat and cheerful

Being sardonic and patronizing about a man through his family makes it hard to play for laughs when the targets are wives, daughters, and little children

"Surprisingly, a lot of commenters are calling Slate out on it."

Good for them. Waldman's piece is unadulterated hate speech.

“They seemed to be going for sleek, unperturbed glamour. They were American aristocrats, impeccably groomed and confident.”

As opposed to scruffy, dumpy and lumpy?

ROTFL!

You know FDR was also considered American aristocracy, Teddy Roosevelt, the Kennedys; Jacki Bouvier Kennedy and her family anchored by a real live princess.

Democrats all except for Teddy who was closer to a moderate Democrat or as I was, a true liberal.

As far as being white? What are you Katy, a racist? Bigot? Prejudiced? Or just a self-loathing lefty.

Grow up child and stop throwing a heel-banging temper tantrum

How I wish my poor children could grow up in a world where they weren’t berated for the color of their skin. They were born this way. If only society would realize, would treat them the same. Inside, all people are the same, even if they look different on the outside. One day I hope to live long enough to see my children being respected for their character, no matter how little melanin their skin may contain.

Obama glowered in his dark suit and peculiarly long red tie, taking the oath, speechifying, signing documents. Beside him all the while, Michelle glimmered like a comely aquatic alien in her powder blue Ralph Lauren coat.

(How’s that sound, Slate?)

The writer of this garbage is one sick puppy.

“An elfin granddaughter wrapped up like a gift in a huge crimson bow perched at Trump’s elbow. “These beautiful children keep bumping me, but that’s OK,” he muttered.”

This is bad even for Slate. Slate does rhyme with hate.
