Donald Trump is the First White President (Mega Barf Alert)
The Atlantic ^ | October 2017 Issue | TA-NEHISI COATES

Posted on 09/07/2017 9:34:03 AM PDT by EdnaMode

IT IS INSUFFICIENT TO STATE the obvious of Donald Trump: that he is a white man who would not be president were it not for this fact. With one immediate exception, Trump’s predecessors made their way to high office through the passive power of whiteness—that bloody heirloom which cannot ensure mastery of all events but can conjure a tailwind for most of them. Land theft and human plunder cleared the grounds for Trump’s forefathers and barred others from it. Once upon the field, these men became soldiers, statesmen, and scholars; held court in Paris; presided at Princeton; advanced into the Wilderness and then into the White House. Their individual triumphs made this exclusive party seem above America’s founding sins, and it was forgotten that the former was in fact bound to the latter, that all their victories had transpired on cleared grounds. No such elegant detachment can be attributed to Donald Trump—a president who, more than any other, has made the awful inheritance explicit.

His political career began in advocacy of birtherism, that modern recasting of the old American precept that black people are not fit to be citizens of the country they built. But long before birtherism, Trump had made his worldview clear. He fought to keep blacks out of his buildings, according to the U.S. government; called for the death penalty for the eventually exonerated Central Park Five; and railed against “lazy” black employees. “Black guys counting my money! I hate it,” Trump was once quoted as saying. “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

The idiot has to know that the mulatto doesn’t get elected without the whiteness vote?

Such an obvious attempt by the race-pimps to capture a bit more power. It is all they have. The race-pimps lack innovation, they lack a sense of how fortunate they are to live in America, and the lack the intelligence to compete on a level field of play.

If the Liberal/Progressive/Marxist “hate speech” police applied any unbiased rational approach to “hate speech” they’d have the social media police censor/ban that article in the Atlantic.

Yes, asking them to not be hypocritical about their own standards is asking too much.

The “author” was born in Baltimore to a Black Panther father. Poor guy had no chance to not be brainwashed into hatred, it looks like, especially after his Howard U “education”.

Hating whitey is not racism, hating whitey is a virtue to the left.

Trump is such a lucky duck. If only he weren't president then that could be me in the Oval Office. It's not fair! It's just not fair!

(I'm here the rest of the month, folks. Don't forget to tip your waitpersons).

after reading the entirety of that screed.


You did far better than I! I liked where he pointed out how President Trump got a majority of white voters, but seemed to be silent on the percentage of black voters that former president Obama got. Whites are obviously racist for voting for a white man, but blacks voting for a half-black man is perfectly natural.

I’m not sure that Trump is a “white president” in the sense of putting the interests of whites first, or at least not behind those of others, but if the Republicans HAD A BRAIN, they would know that the Republican Party cannot win by getting 55% of the White vote, while the Dems get 85% of the non-white vote.

...and since it is simply not possible to pull down the 85% value very much without jettisoning conservative principles (and probably not even then), the ONLY CHOICE for the Republicans is to pull up the 55% number - and the way to do that is through things like EQUAL OPPORTUNITY for white students in college - rather than the massive advantages minorities and women are given, same for the workplace, and also other issues, like being strongly against gun control, strongly against voter fraud, immigration, etc.

And if pulling up the 55% number makes the Dems call Republicans Fascists, Racists, and KKK types, so be it - they’ve called us that all my life, and they always will, always, regardless of whether we continue to hand minorities preferences, or whether we level the playing field.

Hate per se is one of the left’s false virtues. Does not matter the race; expediency merely matters.
We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism.

— Lenin
Stirring up the hate against whites is meant to provoke hatred by whites, again. The “house divided” paradigm.

The only thing missing from that screed were a few “kill all the white devils”, “down with the man”, and a few black panther fist salutes.

If I understand what Mr. Coates is saying, he wants in on the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton racial division business. Guess it pays well, but seems like drawing people together would serve the country better.

The hate campaign forges on after the Harvey set back.

Irma is coming. Trump has already activated troops and pre-positioned supplies.

What is the DemonRATs definition of Black now?

It used to be one drop of Black blood. If that’s still it, then a very large segment of the people that they are branding as White qualify. Including me.

IT IS INSUFFICIENT TO STATE the obvious of Donald Trump: that he is a white man who would not be president were it not for this fact.

But, it isn't necessary to state the obvious fact that Barack HUSSEIN Obama is a black man, likely Muslim of questionable birth to boot, who would not be President were it not for that fact.
