HE WON!
My facebook feed in the days following the election were filled with virtue signaling and "support" for those in states of depression. I'm not going to lie, if Hillary had won, I'd have been pretty down, but I would not have sought out online cuddles by expressing a "deep sadness" or a "literal shaking". I saw too many posts (posted by white people) about how white people should not celebrate or tell people not to be afraid, because they weren't white.
This is of course, ridiculous. We've heard that those who voted for Trump are, of course, racist. This is absurd. The fact is that 33% of the counties that voted for Obama TWICE voted for Trump in this election. According to election maps, not many counties flipped from Republican to democrat, but the reverse was pretty impressive, especially in solid democrat "strongholds". The fact is that the democrat party, the DNC tried to shove a candidate down the throats of Americans that we were NOT enthused about, nor did we trust.
It is funny how the "left" or the "progressives" are shouting rage and grief in the wake of the election. This article for example on why ethnic minorities are scared by HuffPo is at the top of the snobbery list. We have, as a society, been informed on a constant basis in the last few years of the evils of american history. While there is much to be desired in the history of America and human society as a whole, the critics never point to historical facts that put social anxieties and accusations into perspective.
Of the blacks residing in the South, 261,988 were not slaves. Of this number, 10,689 lived in New Orleans. The country's leading African American historian, Duke University professor John Hope Franklin, records that in New Orleans over 3,000 free Negroes owned slaves, or 28 percent of the free Negroes in that city.
Not to delve too deeply into a history lesson, there are many educated minorities that are aware of the fraud that is how "unfair" America is to black people. Is the system skewed in the direction of the white male? Yes, probably so, but not to the degree (especially in 2016) which merits riots and crying sessions and "safe spaces" for college students who are anticipating the 3rd reich in America.
I personally find it offense when I spoiled white college student argues harder for the strife of black people in America than I do and they have ZERO facts, only emotional arguments. At the peak of black slavery in the South, only 6 percent of Southern whites owned slaves. If you include the white people in the North, it means that only 1.4 percent of white Americans owned black slaves at the HEIGHT of slavery. An estimated 3,000 blacks owned a total of 20,000 black slaves in the year 1860. If you listened to the "liberal" media, they would have you think that every white person who has ever existed has family that has owned black slaves. It is estimated that 40% of all Americans today can trace their parentage to immigrants that arrived here from Ellis Island. That means a very small fraction of Americans have had family that have been in America since the Revolution or the Civil War and an even smaller amount of those people can be found to have ancestors who actually owned slaves.
So who owes reparations? Who needs to apologize to black people? It seems t hat the majority of racism against black people in the 20th century was most likely cause by immigrants from Europe who integrated rapidly and adopted the disdain for black people as a way to blend in further.
Is the Fear Justified?
CNN's Van Jones called Trump's win a "whitelash". He ought to be ashamed of himself. His rhetoric is just as inflammatory or more than anything Trump has said. Knowing the state of affairs in America today, the people who are most likely to cause violence based off of "bad news", he should choose his words about who is dishing out the "lashes" much more carefully. This was a ridiculous statement and many of the major news networks are aware of the fact that Trump supporters are not solely white. MSNBC had been caught with their paradigm pants down when they went to interview a black man about the racism of Trump and he turned out to be a supporter.
It is called societal norms. When you create a societal norm that deems it acceptable for black people to beat up white people because white people are inherently "bad" and "racist", that takes precedent to race. Black men are not inherently more violent because of the color of their skin. White men are not more racist because of the color of theirs. That is nonsense.
If the left were as tolerant as they say, Van Jones would have not called the election of Trump a "whitelash". To simply assume that white people voted for Trump because he was the antithesis of Obama based just upon his "race" is absurd. White people are more likely to jump party lines and vote across the board because they are more concerned with policy. In the mid-west social policy holds more sway than economic policy may play in the east, but regardless, white votes take precedence because both parties know that their loyalty has a cost.
Black people have culturally been indoctrinated to believe that the democratic party is the only option they have, because they "aren't racist". This is beyond laughable, of course. Not just history is being considered in understanding the ridiculousness of the statement, but if racism is as prevalent, malicious and devious as is believed, why is there some "invisible wall" over the democratic party that somehow "filters" out the racists?
Back to the temper tantrum of the left...
"MoveOn.org" and George Soros are back at it again. After being exposed by Project Veritas in the fall, the Clinton Campaign hit major controversy (that the media ignored) as the internet was abuzz with news that protesters (often violent) were paid to "Bird-dog". The term "birddogging" was coined to define a type of agitation and provocation meant to create violence at Trump rallies. The point was so the media could capture it all on camera, witnessing Trump supporters beating poor black people, bringing up memories of racial violence during the Civil Rights era. This was a simple manipulation.
Now the Left is being paid to protest again. They are protesting Trump on every ground from "racism" to being a detriment to the environment. Trump has become essentially a composite villain from an episode of Captain Planet for ignorant "safe space" millennials. Trump is the businessman rendition of Lex Luther, an evil capitalist bent on world domination, mixed with some loose Hitler comparisons and KKK boogeyman fears. These fears, in my experience, are mostly being held by young white college students. The majority of the warnings to white people against telling minorities to "calm down" have come from young white people. Hypocrisy if I've ever seen it.
I can understand if those in the LGBTQ community are alarmed by Mike Pence. Pence would not have been my first choice for VP, but so is life. However, calls for Trump's assassination would expedite the gay communities worst nightmare. I've tried to explain to my gay compatriots that it would be political suicide to try to rescind gay marriage. Most Americans really don't care. There's no profit in that crusade and Trump himself has said it is a done deal.
I foresee the fear mongering and the orgy of anger running over if the media keep promoting the non-existent ties Trump has to "white nationalist" groups. Yes, there are crazies out there that hope Trump is the "south rising" again, but Trump is and always has been a New York liberal elite with conservative leanings. Nothing the neo nazi groups, nor the evangelicals represent is important enough for him to go on a crusade for; he is NOT Obama. He is NOT an ideologue. In essence, Trump's main concern is repairing a maligned economy. Is gay marriage an issue? No. Is Marijuana legalization a major concern? No.
The media's attempt to activate black americans and black nationalist groups like black lives matter will fail. Black people already felt as though the election held nothing for them this election cycle as soon as it started. Most inner-city blacks are barely coming to grips with Obama leaving office. Others were more prone to lean Trump until the coordinated attack by the media and Clinton camp to demonize Trump as a racist. Sanders never held any real appeal to black people in masse. Black people don't really believe in utopia the way liberal hippies do (unless it comes in black preacher voice). Hillary Clinton, simply put, is not Bill.
I will talk about the unfortunate trap that lie ahead for America and how we can avoid it. It is highly unlikely we will. Things are accelerating much too fast, and the emotionally charged atmosphere creates an even deeper chasm to cross to educate. Stay tuned.
