Good Morning Facebook Family,
No humor this morning, I am in deep thought as I sit in my favorite coffee spot. These thoughts hit me as I got out of bed this morning. Here they are:
1. According to Dr. John Henrik Clarke and the history of Europe, Europeans turned on each other. The wealthy made slaves of the poor. They called the poor 'serfs'. The system was called feudalism.
2. The wealthy became so disgusted with the sight of the poor they shipped them away. They considered the newly "discovered" lands to be big trash cans to dump their human waste people, the poor, into said trash bins.
3. We are witnessing an American version of people of European descent turning on each other.
I have come to the #CulturalConclusion that the book I have been reading by historian Nancy Isenberg is describing the #WhiteCulture many of the students I have encountered have been searching to find.
Well, it has reached the mainstream, it is no longer whispered about in hushed tones around dinner tables or spoken aloud crudely and brazenly among Whites or thrown as insults toward Blacks.
It has made the editorial pages of Newspapers and it simply says, "Donald Trump is unfit to be President'.
Donald Trump is the European trash that was kicked out of Europe by the wealthy. He got his revenge by becoming wealthy, by doing to others what was done to his family on a particular, cultural level. His wealth gives him great access and power, globally, but he wants more.
However, he doesn't have enough power or money to change his pedigree, and that is the bulk of the battle we see being played out in 'political' arenas. Be not deceived, this is a cultural war among White people. It is history that went around and it is coming back around slapping the crap out of us daily.
Trump is incapable of being humble and accepting the good, bad, and ugly of his past so he projects his self hatred and ugliness onto others by being controlling, lying, stealing, breaking rules, being abusive, and teaching his children to be the same way.
He is incapable of being a 'public servant' because he cannot fathom 'serving' anything nor any one. He doesn't think he is God, he does think he can 'Out-God God' meaning he thinks he can do God better than God does God.
4. This has very little to do with Black people. However, it has much to do with what is at the core of our struggles, our sojourn here in the United States, Institutional Oppression.
5. This clown show in the political circus that baffles the brain and crushes the soul and traumatized our children is what institutional violence, hatred, greed, immorality, and low character looks like. Especially when it oppresses Black people.
6. This is what America is and what It does at its ugliest, and Donald Trump is its personification, and he did not just pop up from nowhere. He is the product of the hate that began to openly ooze out of a #WhiteCollectiveConsciousness when Barack Obama became the first person of African descent to be the POTUS. It is a consciousness that puts you in a group that knows the good, bad, and ugliness of being White and the codes surrounding communication within that group. Certain things are not supposed to be discussed outside the group. We are now privy to those conversations. They have come out of the #WhiteCulturalCloset.
7. What Trump is doing to America and White Americans, those of European descent, is what America has done to Black Americans, we of African descent. He uses us to try to make himself look good while being a total contradiction based on how he has treated us. You love us when you need us, we are invisible and insignificant when you don't.
We see America accepting racist White folk into the mainstream. Trump called out Hillary Clinton on this issue during the debate. He said something like "I think Hillary agrees with me but she can't say that she does" .
Based on the fact that the uproar is over Trump's misogyny and NOT over his racism, it supports my argument that simply says, the "race card" is always played by White people to the benefit of White people, even when they are at war with each other for power.
Peace,
Jolivette Anderson-Douoning
