Hope Fear Harris Trump

 

Former President Donald Trump pedals fear and perpetuates ignorance.

The fears of millions of Trump voters are understandable, a few states and many cities have a minority of White European Americans. Donald Trump offers Americans hope that the Republican Party can raise up White Christian Conservative values to the pinnacle of culture and politics in the United States of America.

I hope Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party will pass a Bill that will offer Medicare for all Americans that want it. The main goal is to insure Americans don't become financially crushed by medical bills.

The Democratic Party can also mandate the US Department of Education to help prepare below average students for good paying jobs that don't require a Bachelor's degree.

We are under the thumb of white supremacy so heavily.

I mean it's in the DNA of our country and nobody wants to give up what they have.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Black Identification

 

I thought about writing a blog post about people seeing me as racially ambiguous. It takes me one hour to wire three somewhat coherent sentences. Maybe I should read a few pages of a Danzy Senna novel to get some inspiration.

GROSS: You're very light-skinned. And a lot of people first meeting you assume you're white, and then they're confused that you identify as Black. Though, I think now is it fair to say you identify as biracial?

SENNA: No, no. I've always identified as Black. And I don't really - it doesn't come up in the same way anymore, partly because I've written six books.

GROSS: Yeah. So can you talk about how your idea of being, you know, multiracial or biracial has changed as your extended family has grown, and, you know, the people represented in that family have changed?
