ONE OF THE TENETS OF WHITE PRIVILEGE IS THAT ONE DAY YOU CAN BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. White America calls it the American Dream. Yet, “that” American Dream was folly at best for Blacks. Even if you are eminently qualified, great qualifications do not usually translate as electable for Blacks. Yet, Barack Obama was an exception. It goes without saying Barack Obama was eminently qualified to serve as President. He was a graduate of Columbia University, worked as a community organizer in Chicago, was the editor of the prestigious Harvard Law Review, graduated from Harvard Law School, worked at a civil rights law firm in Chicago, taught constitutional law part-time at the University Of Chicago Law School, was an Illinois State Senator, and was a sitting United States Senator. A soaring orator, he articulated and understood the needs and the concerns of many Americans. The Contrast between President Obama and Donald Trump cannot ring louder or show more clarity. Donald Trump came into the White House with a defined narcissistic checkerboard past of lying and cheating and racism and sexism and misogyny and xenophobia and crudeness and a plethora of other charges and issues which would have put a poor person or a Barack Obama in jail let alone allow them to continue a campaign and election as president.
