To no one’s surprise, the mainstream media have aligned themselves solidly against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, as the never ending US presidential election reaches its conclusion.  We all know that it wouldn’t make a difference if Mother Teresa ran under the GOP banner, the mere fact of the affiliation would make her a target of disdain.   We all recall the last GOP candidate, Mitt Romney, who compared to the tempestuous Trump, really was a prince of a guy.   Romney was as squeaky clean as it gets;  successful, a family man, gracious and articulate.  Still, he was portrayed as an elitist and demonized as out of touch.   They preferred the PC demagogue paper pusher of the day.  What chance does Trump have of getting any boo yahs from the media?

This most recent ‘fumble’ by Trump is more telling of the media than it is of Trump.  Essentially, they are lambasting him for calling a fat girl, Alicia Machado, fat. Trump is hardly the most tactful or articulate of speakers as we all now know, but is this really the disqualifying trait for him?  Does he cheat at golf too? He must have at least a 3 foot long list of personal frailties; calling someone a name is hardly the worst of them.  Is that the card that they want to play, that he insulted an employee 20 years ago?  Well it’s pretty transparent what the strategy is: try to disenfranchise the female vote.  A word to women who may fall for this ruse: snap out of it!  It’s the 21st century;  women are clamoring to equal  men in all aspects of life.  Getting all hurty-feely because someone called you fat is pretty lame.

People may still not understand that the reason for his success with the electorate to this point is that he is a plain talking guy who won’t be bullied to tow the liberal pc lines.  If you’re fat, you’re fat.  A Dale Carnegie graduate, he’s not,  but it’s time to move away from all the double-non speak that terrorizes people today.

Like Romney, Trump has created employment and wealth for thousands of employees.  There is a record of accomplishment and achievement.   Democrats by comparison all seem to be professional government teat suckers who have done little in life other than parlay their law degrees to pander to whatever constituencies’ votes are coveted but have never been responsible for a payroll.  The Democratic presidents going back into history all fit this profile.  Go ahead, check it out, I’ll wait here.

The present incarnation, Hilary Clinton fits this profile on steroids.  Other than the fact that she’s the politically correct flavor of the day, the main rationale offered as her qualification is “experience”, as in over 30 years of being in public office of some kind or other, flying on government planes and attending useless meetings with other useless politicos.  Why anyone would tout that as an asset is odd to me.  It’s as if the ticket taker at the parking lot claimed experience in security.  If her character and history of questionable activity and connections were detailed, it could serve as the operations manual for the Mafia.  If Hilary was around during the day that George Washington’s famous tree was chopped down, she’d have blamed it on mob that was incited by a video.  Hilary is an ideological wind vane.

The media will be and are predictable in whom they support, no surprise there.  The surprise will be if the public decides to ignore their desperate bleats this time and make up their own minds based on the important characteristics of the candidates.  I hope the vast legion of long suffering deplorables make their voices heard.  Trump’s no choir boy, but he’s still better than Hilary.

The fact that the author separates people as being part of “White America” already tells you something about his mindset.  But he is mistaken if he thinks that “White America” which includes everyone, including blacks, monolithically trounces the “rights” of “Black America”.  Objective studies have shown that the police are as statistically likely to shoot a non black person as a black person during contentious arrests.

According to the linked study above compiled by the Washington Post, no beacon of conservatism, objective statistics show a much different truth than the Kaepernicks and their ilk would have you believe.  Put simply, blacks disproportionately commit larger shares of violent crime.  The most telling illustration of this is from very recent history.  In August of this year, Chicago recorded 90 homicides ,a new and unenviable record for that city.  This has nothing to do with police killings or oppressive behavior by law enforcement.  It’s not the Irish or the Italians fighting turf wars.  This is gang and drug related violence and typically black on black crime.

This phenomenon is repeated in cities all over the United States from Baltimore to Cleveland to Philadelphia to New York.  When violence occurs in those black sub communities, the police are required to step in to address it.  It is not systemic persecution of blacks as the Kaepernicks of the world profess.

While Kaepernick’s recent hairdo evokes the ’70’s, in 21st century America, systemic racism has all but been wiped out by advances in laws and attitudes during the past 50 years.  The only people insisting that the great racial divide still exists are those that can politically benefit.  There is no job or position that is off limits for a person of color.  In the case of blacks, they have attained the pinnacle of success in every field from entertainment, to sports to business, to politics, perhaps even disproportionately so.  If a guy with as little talent as Kanye West can be a star, there can’t be any barriers to success.   The oppression and racism narrative doesn’t fit, except by those hoping to exploit the people who believe it.

Guys like Kaepernick may think that they’re taking a principled stand on an issue and of course, they have that right.  But his ignorance of the facts makes him just another stooge in the narrative that the racists want to perpetuate.  It’s not being black that is dangerous to one’s life…it’s being a criminal.  Rather than blaming others as they’ve been programmed to do by political opportunists over the years, blacks need to push back into their communities and set examples and pass on the opportunities that they themselves have grasped.  Be Michael Jordan, not Kanye West; be Jerry Rice, not Aaron Hernandez.  White or Black America only exists in the minds of deluded perpetual victims.
