Listening to NPR this morning I
heard a GOP Congressman defending Trump's statement as not racist. What
many people are missing is this weekend's recent tweets connection to
the "shithole" remark he made a few months back. That is the the essence
of his RACIST ethnocentrism. He sees every third world country as an
"undesirable" element in his view of the world as a proud nationalistic
elitist.Especially those countries where the color of their skin is not
lilly white and his base here at home loves him for it and losing this
base, strikes fear in the hearts of the GOP.
This is our country we are talking
about...The United States...which has always reached out a hand in
compassion to those that needed it around the world but now these same
countries are deemed unworthy and should learn to pull themselves up by
their "boot straps". It all reminds me of the movie re-make of "The
Twilight Zone" in 1983 when Vic Marrow played a man with the mind set of
Trump who upon leaving a bar suddenly found himself in the identity of
the target of every racist rant he had spewed about. I would only wish
the same karma for those with such hateful agendas that we are now
seeing on the national stage.
Great post. I do agree with you. I am so ready for Trump to go.
ReplyDeleteI missed that Twilight Zone episode. Perfect!
