A few days ago, a plane load of inbred-looking, definitely poor from their appearance, white South Africans arrived in the United States, looking more confused than happy. According to Trump and his administration, they were being persecuted in South Africa because of their color. If anyone can remember the transition from white to black rule with Nelson Mandela as president, you will recall that it was the smoothest transition ever after centuries of draconian, racist, apartheid governance by a white minority. There was reconciliation and forgiveness, and life went on. White South Africans mostly remained in South Africa because they weren’t attacked for the system they created; they continued to prosper under a mostly black government. But according to Trump, who wants to make America MAWA (Make America White Again), they are suffering under an oppressive black regime in South Africa.
Meanwhile, 9,000 Afghans have had their protective status removed by DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, which is headed by Kristi Noem, whose altered face looks like a freshly caught snapper with the hook still attached to its mouth. These people fought alongside the US military, and were translators and employees of the American military and government. They were given protective status because to remain in Afghanistan would have been tantamount to a death sentence. But now, some who have been here for almost 30 years in some instances, will be returned to Afghanistan, the Taliban, and to certain death. The same can be said about some of the immigrants from other countries who are currently living in the US.
In his first administration, Trump wondered out aloud why we didn’t have European immigrants instead of immigrants from “sh*thole countries”. He seems to want that America of his father’s time to make a comeback. When men worked and women stayed at home and cooked and raised the children and suffered from spousal abuse and kept quiet and the “n*ggers and spics” were separate but equal. That’s one sentence, folks, no abbreviations needed. He is on a futile quest to change the trajectory of a coloring nation. But he doesn’t realize that it is inevitable and inexorable. Maybe he doesn’t realize that people of color are procreating at a much higher rate than white people. When you are poor and marginalized, sex is your only pleasure. That’s my opinion only. Wat a ting!
When you black people and others of color who voted for Trump look back at the mistake you’ve made, it will be too late. There are so many declarations and proclamations that should make you sick to your stomach. Your museums and your schools and other sources of history are being prevented from teaching the raw truths about your journey to the present. Books are being banned that are written by people of color, but Mein Kampf, written by Adolf Hitler, is available in some of our esteemed military colleges. Slaves didn’t suffer, but were happy under the yoke of their white masters. After all, they were fed and clothed and were very satisfied picking cotton or whatever else. Oh, and they learned a trade.
You have all forgotten the faces of your fathers, to quote Stephen King. In my opinion, you don’t respect yourselves, don’t love yourselves enough, to have voted for this malignancy that is quickly creeping into our lives every single day! WTF? And it is all being done in the open. Not shrouded in secrecy, but in plain sight, almost as if daring one to object to the depravities of a heartless government.
Now the rest of the world is watching and digesting the display of xenophobia, racism and madness that is slowly devouring and destroying this country, once a beacon of democracy, diversity and acceptance. People in dire straits will give pause before desiring to make America their place of refuge. And I believe that is exactly the point the Trumpian doctrine is trying to make: we don’t want you unless you are rich or white (rich or poor)!
It didn’t have to be this way, but it is. I’m starting to believe that if you can’t read or write or think for yourself, you should not be able to vote. Not when we just voted to have people like these reprehensibles running the supposedly greatest country in the world. The most glaring and shocking thing is their lack of humanity. Wat a ting, again!
