Blacks in America are not surprised in the least at the number of whites who still admire a convicted criminal, rapist, sexist, sexual deviant, and racist as a role model. We were indeed not surprised that white America elected their racist president "on the rebound" after eight years of an exquisite and a responsibly intelligent President Obama Administration.
When you understand and internalize racists and the nature of their racism, you know that racism is fundamentally grounded in disrespect toward those who look like me. White America anxiously yearning to vote to return "their anointed racist and his racism" to the White House is simply part of the demagogic hypocrisy, evilness, and disrespect of America's original sin. Racists "enjoyed their president" of the United States, calling African Countries "shithole countries" and telling Black female elected officials "to go back where you came from." When you understand Blacks were treated as property in this country since 1619, then you know white American Christian racism. We are simply seeing, in this generation, another cycle of white American Christian racism surfacing- racism which was supported and condoned during the American Christian Holocaust called slavery by EVERY white religious denomination. The river of racism, which continually "flows" in this country, never went anywhere. It continues to flow. For me, I still see racist America for what it is and continues to be. I have lived long enough and have dealt with experiences of white American Christian racism long enough, i.e., ALL of my life, that nothing that white American Christian racists can do and will do surprise me. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" only means something to Black folks. It means nothing to many whites in America. White folks are born into racism. It is for them, just like breathing. But that is simply the nature of white American Christian racists and their white American Christian racism, which many will re-enforce Sunday morning at whatever time their church services begin. The Struggle Continues!
