The New York Times recently published
an “op-ed” piece titled, “Trump
is a Racist. Period.” by Charles Blow.
Charles
Blow is an angry middle-aged Black man who writes a column on
Monday and Thursday for the New York Times. He's divorced with three
kids, and openly bisexual. Mr Blow graduated Magna Cum Laude
from Grambling.
Professionally, Mr Blow is definitely
infatuated with “racism.” Which is pretty much the prerequisite
for Black “op-ed” writers in major newspapers (scream racism and
scream it loudly). Come to think of it, I can't recall the last time
I read an “op-ed” piece by a Black columnist that wasn't in some
way correlated with racism. As a matter of fact, the last one I read
was in the Dallas
Morning News, in which the author theorized that high Black
mortality rates were due to a combination of “cruel treatment by
White doctors,” and an overall lack of Black doctors. She even went
so far as to cast blame on the City of Dallas for not aiding in the
quest to produce more Black doctors. All encompassed in systemic
racism, of course. And nothing to do with competency. Such as the
fact that a minimum of 120 IQ is needed to meet the intellectual
requirements to procure an MD (85 is avg Black IQ).
If you review Mr Blow's articles,
the title's subject matter may change to some degree, but the premise
is usually the same: “Racism” this. “White supremacy” that.
Trump called Haiti a “shithole” and played golf on MLK day, so
that proves once and for all that he's a racist. Blah, blah, blah.
Nothing of substance, only stale garrulity.
Even when Mr Blow opined
about Russia, he couldn't help himself. He just had to fantasize
about radical racism:
If this were
Barack Obama, Tiki-torch-toting Nazis would have descended on
the White House and burned it to the ground. Not only that, America’s
racist folks masquerading as religious folks would have used
Obama’s moral failing as proof of a black pathology.
However, my purpose isn't to critique
Mr Blow's efforts of perfecting a Nietzschean slave morality writing
style, but rather his opinions. After all, freedom of speech is one
of the pillars of “White supremacy.” Which, ironically enough,
enables people like Mr Blow to publicly call the most powerful man in
the world racial epithets on a daily basis. In the same way it
affords me the right to define racism as the essence of blackness. To
the extent that if Mr Blow couldn't write about “racism,” he
wouldn't have anything to write about.
Technically, racism is just a word that
represents an abstract concept (as with all isms). But in reality,
it's a word that has been hijacked and weaponized for political gain
by those with an anti-White agenda. A word that has transcended its
literal definition and evolved into a slur used relentlessly against
non-conforming Whites as a modus operandi for character
assassination.
Similarly, the word “faggot” was
used on the playgrounds in the 80s and 90s. The term was used to
insult a boy's masculinity by implying that he was weak. Although the
implications weren't based on sexuality (nobody thought the accused
was actually gay), it was elementary psychological warfare. Once a
boy was labeled a “faggot,” he might as well have been one in the
eyes of his peers. The term “racist” works in the same way.
The reason that racism is such a
powerful concept is because it provides legitimacy to the
inadequacies within the Black community. In other words, racism is an
excuse for Black failure. So if Black people couldn't blame White
people for their failures, it would force accountability for their
own actions. Actions that have determined them a significant
liability to the prosperity of American society.
Mr Blow knows
this, which is why he hyper-focuses on racism. Because if the racists
he redundantly chastises were actually the racists of his lore, he
would likely be experiencing “White supremacy” in Liberia. And
contrary to what the cuck Lindsey
Graham said, America is more than just an idea. “White
supremacy” just isn't the same without White people at the reins.
But Mr Blow doesn't want to debate the
existence of racism. That's useless to a man whose sustenance is
dependent upon such bigoted idealism. He prefers to use his paid
platform as a bully pulpit to cast judgment in the name of tolerance.
I find nothing
more useless than debating the existence of racism,
particularly when you are surrounded by evidence of its existence. It
feels to me like a way to keep you fighting against the water until
you drown.
The debates
themselves, I believe, render a simple concept impossibly complex,
making the very meaning of “racism” frustratingly murky.
So, let’s
strip that away here. Let’s be honest and forthright.
Racism
is simply the belief that race is an inherent and determining
factor in a person’s or a people’s character and capabilities,
rendering some inferior and others superior. These beliefs are racial
prejudices.
Racism can only
exist if race exists. That's what race is; a degree of variance
within the species.
I may not be a
Magna Cum Laude from Grambling, but even I understand that
race just means differences. And, as with anything, differences shape
perception. We don't need scientific theory to justify observable
reality. It is what it is.
Mr Blow's
definition of racism is somewhat acceptable. Race does render “some
inferior and others superior.” That's kinda the whole idea. It's a
two-sided coin. Either we're all the same (one race, the human race),
or we're all different (race is real).
One of the typical
questions racial realists get asked when dealing with anti-racists
is: “Do you think Whites are racially superior?” To which the
reply should always be: “Superior in what?”
Specificity and
statistics can generate data, such as with IQ or genetic
predispositions for disease. But there is no algorithm that
formulates racial inferiority/superiority on a universal scale. And
there will always be outliers that contradict the stereotype.
Furthermore, racial
differences have the tendency to be moralized. But they shouldn't be.
It's not always a case of right or wrong, and good or bad. Even if
White people were scientifically determined to be an inferior race,
that shouldn't eliminate Whites from collectively pursuing
self-determination as a people (nor any other race for that matter).
Whites are roughly 7% of the world's population, and according to
current
fertility rates, that number is dropping by the day.
The history of
America is one in which white people used racism and white
supremacy to develop a racial caste system that advantaged
them and disadvantaged others.
The history of
America is one in which European settlers braved the unknown and
carved out the greatest nation on the planet with their bare hands
and innovative minds. It was a nation created by White men for White
people. To this very day, non-Whites from all over the world are
literally dying to leave their “shithole” countries and come reap
the benefits of “White supremacy.” And make no mistake about it,
“White supremacy” is why non-Whites come to White countries.
It is not a
stretch to say that Trump is racist. It’s not a stretch to
say that he is a white supremacist. It’s not a stretch to
say that Trump is a bigot.
Those are just
facts, supported by the proof of the words that keep coming directly
from him. And, when he is called out for his racism, his
response is never to ameliorate his rhetoric, but to double down on
it.
I know of no
point during his entire life where he has apologized for, repented
of, or sought absolution for any of his racist actions or
comments.
Instead, he
either denies, deflects or amps up the attack.
Trump is a
racist. We can put that baby to bed.
“Racism”
and “racist” are simply words that have definitions, and
Trump comfortably and unambiguously meets those definitions.
We have
unfortunately moved away from the simple definition of racism, to the
point where the only people to whom the appellation can be safely
applied are the vocal, violent racial archetypes.
The
problem with rhetoric is that it's just an empty hole. It doesn't
mean anything; it's just name-calling. Mr Blow has to know this. He's
a really smart man (did I mention he was Magna Cum Laude
of Grambling?), which is why he attempted to define his rhetoric
before he fired it repeatedly. He wanted to make it seem like what he
was saying actually meant something. He even tried to explain his
progression from logical “racism” to rhetorical “racism” (“We
have unfortunately moved away from the simple definition of
racism...”).
The truth is that
“racist” is just an anti-White epithet. There's no difference in
calling a White person a “racist,” and calling a Black person a
“nigger.” It's the exact same thing. If you don't believe me,
conduct an experiment. Call a non-White person a “racist” and
watch them carelessly shrug it off. It doesn't mean anything to them.
They're not White. But call a White person a “racist” and observe
their reaction. They'll immediately get tense and defensive. Then do
the same thing with “nigger.” I don't recommend saying it to a
Black person, because you might get assualted. But try it on a White
or Asian. They'll probably giggle. Or just look at you funny.
The simple
acknowledgment that Trump is a racist is the easy part. The
harder, more substantive part is this: What are we going to do about
it?
First and
foremost, although Trump is not the first president to be a racist,
we must make him the last. If by some miracle he should serve out his
first term, he mustn’t be allowed a second. Voters of good
conscience must swarm the polls in 2020.
Of course it's easy
to call someone names. It's also ignorant.
We know exactly
what “they” are going to do about it: Call Trump names. Pretend
like the economy isn't booming. Call Trump names. Ignore the fact
that the Black unemployment rate isn't at its lowest in decades. Call
Trump names.
What do you think
Mr Blow will say when that “miracle” happens? You know, the
miracle of democracy. Where an elected official (in this case the
POTUS) gets to perform the duties the American people elected him to
do. Do you think when that “miracle” happens, and Trump serves
out his first term, Mr Blow will use his privileged platform to unite
the country, as Blacks so often claim they want to do? Or do you
think he'll divisively peck away at his six favorite keys
(r-a-c-i-s-t)?
See, people like Mr
Blow only respect democracy when democracy produces the results they
want. So when they can't get the votes organically, they import them
inorganically. Everybody knows that illegal immigration is about two
things: capitalism and demographic change. Simply put, money and
votes.
As a person of
“good conscience,” I'll be at the polls in 2020 (God willing).
I'll be voting for the candidate who doesn't apologize to liberal rag
race-hustlers. But most importantly, I'll be voting for the candidate
who doesn't have desires to turn America into Amexico.
And finally, we
have to stop giving a pass to the people — whether elected official
or average voter — who support and defend his racism. If you
defend racism you are part of the racism. It doesn’t
matter how much you say that you’re an egalitarian, how much you
say that you are race blind, how much you say that you are
only interested in people’s policies and not their racist
polemics.
As the
brilliant James Baldwin once put it: “I can’t believe what you
say, because I see what you do.” When I see that in poll after poll
a portion of Trump’s base continues to support his behavior,
including on race, I can only conclude that there is no real
daylight between Trump and his base. They are part of his racism.
When I see the
extraordinary hypocrisy of elected officials who either remain silent
in the wake of Trump’s continued racist outbursts or who
obliquely condemn him, only to in short order return to defending and
praising him and supporting his agenda, I see that there is no real
daylight between Trump and them either. They too are part of his
racism.
When you see it
this way, you understand the enormity and the profundity of what we
are facing. There were enough Americans who were willing to accept
Trump’s racism to elect him. There are enough people in
Washington willing to accept Trump’s racism to defend him.
Not only is Trump racist, the entire architecture of his
support is suffused with that racism. Racism is a
fundamental component of the Trump presidency.
It's impossible to eliminate
“racism” from democracy in a multiracial society. What really
scares people like Mr Blow is the possibility that Whites will awaken
from their egalitarian stupor and enter the game of identity
politics. Because if that happens, Whites will have realized that it
would be democratic suicide to become a demographic minority in their
own countries. Particularly when all other groups (Jews, Asians,
Hispanics, Blacks) correlate their political affiliation with their
racial identity, to the rate of at least 80%.
I suspect that Mr Blow and
his cohorts know that it's not if, but when the
sleeping White giant awakens. My guess is that he'll be hungry. And
history has shown us that the White giant has a voracious appetite
for power. As Eduardo Galeano once put it: “History never really
says goodbye. History says, 'see you later.'”
