American Republicans who support Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential bid are knowingly backing “the meanest, whitest, most vile bigot possible” because they fear losing majority status.
That’s according to The Guardian’s Steven Thrasher, who contends that minorities will never prosper in the United States until 2043 “when this white supremacist nation becomes mostly non-white.”
Thrasher calls Trump’s rise to political power on the right predictable nearly eight years after the nation elected its first black president because “every bold advancement of progress in the United States is met by a racist backlash.”
Calling Obama “a clear symbol that the country is literally becoming more black,” Thrasher believes white Americans view Trump as a candidate who could somehow reverse the trend.
“In its final 27 years, some of the dying white majority are so desperate to hold onto their dwindling power it’ll come as no surprise when they follow history’s powder and elect a reactionary, racist, sexist man,” Thrasher said. “And that’s why a Trump presidency would be as historically American as the bald eagle, indigenous genocide, the three-fifths clause, mass incarceration, and apple pie.”
This, of course, is a bunch of nonsense.
First of all, Obama’s hope and change progress for U.S. blacks looks a little less impressive from a minority perspective by the numbers.
As talk show host and political commentator Tavis Smiley pointed out awhile back when asked if black Americans are doing better under Obama: “I’m not sure we are and I think ultimately the president missed a moment… On every leading economic issue, in the leading economic issues Black Americans have lost ground in every one of those leading categories. So in the last ten years it hasn’t been good for black folk. This is the president’s most loyal constituency that didn’t gain any ground in that period.”
Since Obama’s ‘bold advancement” into the White House, black poverty rates have inched up by a couple percentage points while labor participation rates for American blacks have hit historic lows.
Back in 2014, The Financial Times pointed out that median income for non-white households in the U.S. had “dropped by almost a 10th to $33,000 a year” since Obama’s inauguration. Similarly, net worth for black households fell an astonishing 34 percent between 2010 and 2013.
So if white Americans were truly looking for a presidential candidate who can harm minority progress, they’d vote for whichever candidate whose economic policy agenda most closely resembles Obama’s.
Whites & Asians are the glue holding this country together. If they disappear, the country will descend into chaos, not revolution.
These people are actually the real white supremacists. Because what’s going to happen when civil society breaks down? These white elitists will be insulated in their armed compounds, while the minorities will rip each other to shreds. It’s already happening in South Africa.
I don’t read this crap from The RaceCardian
I beg to differ.
The white elites are the first ones who will be targeted. If they think they’ll be safe behind their high fences and armed guards they are sorely mistaken.
Leftists ares obsessed with skin color.
Whites have also had a very high intermarriage rate (hispanics, asians, native americans) with the exception of blacks.
These calls for “death of the white majority” assume all these mixed kids and their kids identify as non-white. Given today’s racial preferences, though, nearly all do.
And it is only a minority if you count Spanish speaking whites as non-white, which is what Hispanic means.
By 2043 Jesus will be ruling from Jerusalem at the rate the world is going down the drain.
Ms. Thrasher prefers non-White supremacists because they are so much more civilized.
I am with you......
Whites voted for Obama out of pity. Well, after 8 years of this *@!% the pity is over. Most whites won’t vote for another black President in their lifetime.
hardly anyone will prosper when this nation becomes a non white hellhole
Leftists are lauding America’s coming Communist-Sodomite-Islamic future. Jesus is coming back to dash their “brave new world”.
No, it will descend into Brazil.
They won’t even take care of what they steal. The riots are Prof of that. All they do is destroy.
Anti-white racists in panic mode alert!
Asians definitely do. Whites don’t due to decades of indoctrination.
I have an intern from SA working for me now. She says “I am white and I am not allowed to speak my mind in South Africa”.
Idea: Eastern European migration to here.
That’s an extremely extreme thing to say. You sound like an extremist.
