Tavis Smiley: Love And Justice Lost, Hatred And Revenge Won
Huffington Post ^ | November 10, 2016 | Rebecca Shapiro

PBS host Tavis Smiley reacted to Donald Trump’s presidential victory, telling MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday that America “showed its true colors.”

“What I saw last night was not red, white and blue as [President Barack Obama] would have us believe from his remarks earlier today,” Smiley said. “Love and justice lost last night. Hatred and revenge won last night.”

Smiley, who was a strong opponent to Trump and his racism, went on to say that the president-elect wasn’t the only winner. Racism, sexism, classism and militarism won, too, he argued.

I guess identity politics isn’t supposed to be for everyone. Too bad, because it’s here. Sorry it had to be this way, but people like Tavis and the writer of this piece made it inevitable.

Yes, the forces of love and justice are burning American flags and assaulting Trump voters.

I don't have a problem with that. I despise these bastards on the Left and I do want them to suffer as I have. Them shooting [figurative] me for the past 8 years, then have them throw down their guns when their ammunition is used up[ again figuratively] and say, “Let bygones be bygones is not going to happen with me.

I would honestly say that 90% of Blacks are about the most Racist Vile Humans you will ever meet. 90% voted in lockstep with Obama, simply because he was half black.

THAT IS PURE RACISM

Yes, the love and justice crowd would be the ones rioting in the streets, setting things on fire and beating up up innocent victims.

That piece of excrement is just livid that most, if not all, of Zero’s executive orders will be reversed by President Donald J. Trump, as well as eliminating Obamacare. This will then relegate Zero to the dust bin or history as the worst (p)resident in American history.

Good riddance.

"Revenge" for what, Tavis?

Was there an injustice done somewhere?

Tavis is a racist hatemonger from way back. Talks a middle road game when interviewing non-blacks but is filled with hatred for White People that vomits up on occasion.

So I’m confused. The same electorate that elected Obama twice and then rejected a white woman is somehow “racist”. This seems delusional. Maybe it had more to do with the economic devastation to the middle class caused bad trade agreements negotiated by global elitist politicians that don’t really like America that much.

Really? Who is rioting in the streets?

The spin and manipulation is dizzying.

Only in the delusional fog of the liberal mind could the words “Love and justice” be used to describe Hillary or another Clinton administration.

That’s why the writer’s commie friends leave bloody tampons around and block traffic.
