Trump's
reply to the violence today was WEAK and mentioned none of those
Democrats solely who were
threatened including Maxine Waters whom Trump insults as "low IQ." If
anyone has low IQ it is he. Nor did he mention the news media he has
impugned by calling them "enemies of the people." I believe Trump has
created this toxic environment. It is he who should apologize to all of
us for his malevolent speech.
I
am on the side of persons of color and other minority groups who have
had their progress over centuries ripped out from under their feet by
white persons like Trump who
have weakened the 1965 Civil Rights law which specifically addressed
those states that have perpetrated unspeakable crimes against human
beings because
of the color of their skin originally brought to this nation in chains
and against their will. Who of us if we had been treated like they by
persons holding the reins of power would not be angry and would hold
back their fury?
White men, racist white men have NOTHING about which
to be angry. They have held ALL the power since the beginning of the
nation and to think those they have subjugated would not someday rise up
to grab what is rightfully theirs is pure and simply stupid.
Trump has done more to hurt those
minorities who are powerless and he has served to eradicate all that
they have achieved at a high price. Malcolm X once said: "I am non violent BUT I am NOT
non violent to people who are violent to me!
RESIST!

Suspicious Packages Sent To Barack Obama And Hillary, Bill Clinton: Secret Service
Trump's "nationalist" i.e. white nationalist rants have consequences. The people that listen to him -- right wing extremists, white nationalist crackpots and racists supreme like the KKK see Trump's words as a rationale for a call to arms.
Right wing extremists I have always thought are much more violent than the left is in this country. Right wing extremists like American Nazis, the Ku Klux Klan and others who have been given the cover of inclusion by Trump are angry, they are armed and they are dangerous!
