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.
Not ten minutes ago I posted in another thread that the narrative [def: lies told often enough that they become the perceived truth] of Trump’s victory would be the last gasp of the angry white male before diversity brings America the culmination of its transformation, in 2020.
The War on Whites continues.
I hope I live long enough to become a minority...
...nevermind, they’ll change the rules if that happens
There is another thread charging that Hillary Clinton wants to start another war in the Middle East so that she can import a large number of “refugees.” Oh, and she wants more gun control.
I would challenge these social justice warriors to point to even one country run by the groups they idolize that can in any way be considered successful and therefore worthy of emulating. Just one.
Eastern Europeans, like the rest of Europe, have low quota numbers. They are not allowed legally into the USA in any large numbers.
Oh! Right! And I guess in all those non-white countries like Zimbabwe, Angola, Brazil, Bolivia Et al, non-whtes are very prosperous...
Damn straight.
South Africa is much better off, no poverty and crop production is so advance that food is their major export. Right?
That whole “3/5ths a person” thing annoys me as much as the junk science “if we used more than 10% of our brains” nonsense. It was a compromise to limit the power of slave states, you numbskulls!
How odd that they think only white people would resist tyranny.
I doubt it. Trump is the wakening of America especially the whites. Recent history and the break down of society plus more people becoming aware of the bias and abuses of the multi-culturalists and race mixers are going to undo all that in a heart beat.
Yeah but they are murdering thousands of whites a year. On paper compounds are fine but in reality they havent stopped wites from being killed inside them or in their cars on the roads, even with the side torch terrorist fryers on them.
I've thought of that as well. Culturally compatible, civilized, and many of them are fiercely opposed to Marxist tyranny, as they have seen it first-hand.
Worse . . . it will make Venezuela look like a schoolyard fight.
I thank the Good Lord that I am 72 years old and can not possible live to 2043.
As a matter of fact I am so thankful that I got to live my life starting in 1944 til now in the greatest country ever and what may well have been as good as life on this planet will ever be.
America isn’t becoming non white. Its a leftist pipe dream.
I’m sorry, but your race card is overdrawn and has been declined. Please select an alternative form of blame.
Thank you.
Unless the victims fight back. Keep a list. You may need it someday.
I wonder if that means the government is racist against Eastern Europeans? 😀
