Since the illegitimate election of Donald Trump, the truth about America’s growing racism and prejudice has been exposed. The American people would prefer to believe that race relations have improved greatly in the last 50 years. I do not believe that is a reality.
The truth is that if a black man is suspected of a crime, he is considered guilty before he receives a fair trial far more frequently than a white man.
Although the Trump administration has focused on minority and religious criminality in America, this is not a new reality. For the last 20 years or more, our nation has become a far more prejudiced nation. Although millions of Americans now fail to see differences between people of color, sexual preference, or ethnic background, far too many others support white supremacy and the belief that all others are inferior to white men.
Thanks to FOX Noise, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, and Alex Jones, the murder of a law enforcement officer is far more important than the loss of life of a black or Hispanic man or woman at the hand of a member of the police department or a sheriff.
Before Trump became our illegitimate president, he supported all law enforcement and denounced groups such as “Black Lives Matter.” He joined FOX Noise in labeling such groups as terrorists.
The absolute truth is that there are two Americas. One is for the wealthy who experience all of the rights and privileges guaranteed by our founding fathers. Then there exists another nation where the working class struggles for survival and is lied to by politicians who expect them to believe that their poor quality of life is acceptable. Then, at the ‘bottom of the food chain’ are minorities who face challenges not only misunderstood by upscale whites; these privileged Americans lack compassion for millions of American citizens who are denied an opportunity to seek a better life for themselves and those they love.
If income inequality was not a reality which was punishment enough, add to this the fact that the judicial system is not blind, and is slanted in favor of the rich. There is extensive proof that blacks are treated far more severely than whites by law enforcement. In addition court records prove that working class, low income, and impoverished Americans are punished far more severely by the courts than affluent Americans.
Our nation has lost its way. With the most immoral and prejudiced man in history as our illegitimate president, it will become far more horrific. Trump and his circle of sinners have a plan. The majority of the American people will become servants to their masters in Washington. Democracy will soon become nothing more than a memory.
With Trump, Pence, Tillerson, Sessions, DeVos, Mnuchin, Flynn, Bannon, Conway, and others in control of the lives of the American people, we will be forced into servitude or join the revolution.
On April 1st, a march in planned in Washington and in cities around our nation. It is called “Fire the Fool,” and will focus on not only the illegitimacy of Trump’s presidency by also his anti-American agenda.
Be proud and join the revolution. We are the United States of America, and our nation belongs to us; not our corrupt government.
