COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY KEEANGA-YAMAHTTA TAYLOR
I'm sorry, but there are seriously questionable assumptions
here.
"... the
unquestioned racism of Donald Trump..."
While it commonly enough thrown around in the anti-Trump
establishment press, it is, in fact, simply an insupportable statement.
Trump has demonstrated no racism, and I think it quite
unfair to assert that he has.
The assertion very much resembles the long series of
Guardian accusations directed towards Jeremy Corbyn concerning anti-Semitism.
They were themselves the ugliest form of McCarthyism.
Such accusations, made glibly ad with no evidence, surely
are themselves a form of racism.
"If the country’s
first black president could not disrupt the racial status quo, what can we
expect Clinton to accomplish?"
Again, sorry, but the nation's first black president, sad to
say, has been an extraordinarily ineffective one. You cannot name one thing he
did or even tried to do for his own people.
Obamacare, his only big domestic legislation is failing
badly. Bill Clinton himself has been quoted saying so in speeches. Word is,
Hillary regards it as a failure too.
All Obama has proved is that if an attractive black person -
and he was attractive in 2008 - runs, he can be elected. That ain't much of an
achievement.
In international affairs, he has been a disaster, falling
under complete control of the Pentagon-CIA establishment and simply engaging in
wholesale killing. And that includes the deaths of a lot of black people too.
Hillary is as far from a friend of black people as you can
get. We have her on video back during her husband's term of office talking
about "black super-predators." You may find that easily on the
Internet.
She of course championed the destruction of Libya to Obama
and is recorded on video laughing about Gaddafi's murder. Gaddafi was one of
black Africa best friends and allies as well as being a good leader for his
people.
