Attacks On Blacks

By Lucius Gantt

     America’s white supremacist President Donald Trump has always been opposed to Black progress in business, politics, labor, and other areas.

      He has faced legal challenges for housing discrimination, he has called African nations “shit holes”, Trump has placed unfair tariffs on African commodity trading, and placed bans on some African travel to the United States.

       His most recent comments about law-abiding Somali citizens residing in Minnesota are hateful and disgusting.

        We all should know by now that Trump’s history of decadent, disparaging, and demeaning comments about all people of color cannot be excused or tolerated.

          All of Trump’s hires as President that I’m familiar with have basically the same type of hatred of Black and brown American citizens that the President has.

           Haters and liars are permeated in high-level federal government positions. As long as they parrot and rubber-stamp Trump’s lies, they have a green light to pursue false charges against his political enemies, especially the Black women.

            Black elected officials get the brunt of Trump’s political hatred and animosity. State attorneys in New York and Georgia have been attacked because both filed criminal charges against the President, and I think both women were brave and correct to do their jobs and seek justice for Trump crimes against the people.

             Trump loves his right-hand man and top hater, Stepan Miller, the architect of Trump’s family separation policies that forces the separation of thousands of children from their parents at the border and on American streets, Miller is a “card-carrying” white nationalist, Miller’s fame and career was built on bigotry, he loves to clash with anti-immigration groups suggesting America is a “white country”, and Miller’s harmful and racist rhetoric is never-ending.

          Oh, if only Black people would support Blacks who stand up and speak out for Black and African people!

          Nowadays, we love Martin, Malcolm, Marcus, Angela, and other famous Black people, but, don’t fool yourself, it wasn’t always like this.

          Black heroes were sometimes hated more than Stephan hated D’Jango in the slave movie of recent times.

          If the President wants a war of words, let’s set it off! The President’s idea that he can scare people is a fleeting illusion. I’m not afraid of a Babayka, or Russian boogieman, I will speak, and write the truth, whether the President likes it or not.

         I hope no harm comes to the Somali Americans who live in Minnesota. I think Rep. Ilhan Abdullah Omar, a Somali American who represents Minnesotans in Congress, is doing a decent job.

         Everything that Donald Trump says must be verified, fact-checked, and validated. The lies about the Epstein filed is the rule, not an exception.

         We have to oppose Trump’s attacks on Blacks, and other Americans of all races, creeds and colors!
