San Pedro

Donald Trump and White Supremacists

By John R. Gray “Housing Project Kid” from San Pedro

I watched the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s March on Washington on television a while ago. It became only a reminder of the disappointment after another 60 years, America is still fighting the bubonic plague of racial hate and violence against African-Americans and others.

The newer narrative on human dignity is now being served up by a man once said by a colleague to be the most flawed person he had ever known. The flawed person is Donald J. Trump. A friend recently admonished me that Donald Trump did not invent racial violence, hate, and disrespect for the American Justice System. I responded by informing my friend that Lord MAGA is currently the Big Kahuna of condoning racial violence, hate in America, and lack of trust in American institutions. Just ask the black community of Jacksonville, Florida. Three black persons dead on August 26, 2023, at the whim of a 21-year-old, schizoid, a white supremacist who “wanted to kill niggers.” There was no condemnation of the blatant Racketeer style, walk-up murder, by Lord MAGA, is a man who wants to be the next president of the United States.

But do not blame Donald Trump, there are enablers. There is Antwon in Los Angeles. He does not
know who congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis is. He does not know the sacrifice of
health and possible death of Mr. Lewis for him (to have a better life). When will Antwon understand
stopping hate and violence is about him? What about the young woman who resides in Our Town,
U.S.A. Does she recognize her sister with the surname Martinez: is a dreamer still waiting for her
United States Citizens Papers. And the young surfers of America, do your ocean waves only say:
racism, hate, and murder are not my problem?

Where is the hew and cry of those who defy the looming authoritarian governmental policies of Donald Trump? Is there anyone to counter the looping atonal jibs of a man who has taken on the cloth of Teflon Don and wants to be our next president? Teflon Don clearly considers the United States Constitution to be trash. It is equally clear he condones the actions of the white supremacist and others like them. Are we to accept that hate and violence will be normalized in Trump’s America, as just the cost of doing business?

Are you willing to give your country to a criminal narcissist for whatever your perceived grievance is with Hillary Clinton? Donald Trump is the dictionary definition of cancer and should be purged by all. Donald Trump is delusions of grandeur walking a trail of anarchistic tears.
