Donald Trump Ain’t Shit, He Ain’t Barack Obama and He Surely Doesn’t Care About Black People – The Root

Someone in America died today. Someone died today in Virginia in a racial terrorist attack, and our President had the audacity, the hardihood to continue to hew to the line of dog whistling racist dogma.
Donald Trump showed us exactly who he was today as a man, as a leader, as a human being and as an American. And he aint shit.
Donald Trump aint shit and hes a small man with tiny hands unworthy of the office of the presidency.
Forty-five, who obviously must have written that inferior, juvenile speech, spoke for all of four minutes about Charlottesville, Va. today not about the race war that is literally erupting around us and one he surely helped to set the climate forand stuck to stilted, coded language about gun violence in Chicago, Barack Obama and all the other shit that racists hate (P.S. they really dont care that black people are dying in Chicago tho.)
Today, Donald Trump did not even have the human decency to speak about an American citizen who died protesting peacefully and white men acting out in violent ways. As usual, he spoke without an an iota of integrity or even a semblance of decency by even pretending to giving a fuck about black people.
Guess what? He doesnt. Omarosa. He doesnt. Ben Carson. He doesnt all those black folks who voted for him to give him a chance.
The president, who came on at least 40 minutes after he was supposed to, actually spoke these words:
Were closely following the terrible events unfolding in Charlottesville Va. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides.
Pause. Here goes that false equivalence again. Who has been violent to the white nationalists?
Its been going on a long time in our country. Not Donald Trump, not Barack Obama. Its been going on for a long, long time.
You damn right hatred, bigotry and violence has been going on a long time directed at black people who were brought here as chattel property and violently suppressed within a vicious caste system, one that continues until today.
And hells no, you are not Barack Obama. You arent even worthy of a sliver of a nail on his left pinky. You damn right you not Barack Obama and we are all facing a race war at home and perhaps a nuclear threat from abroad because of that.
And then this:
There is no place for this in America. What needed now is a swift restoration of law and order and a restoration of innocent lives. No citizen should fear for their safety and security in our society.
And no child should ever be afraid to go outside (pause) and play or be with their parents (pause) and have a good time, he says.
Hes obviously speaking about the violence in Chicago here, which has absolutely nothing to do with what happened in Charlottesville. But wink, wink hes letting the racists know that hes still with em.
Trump then gave a prolonged and pointed shout out to law enforcement (local state and federal) as doing a wonderful job when they clearly did not.
Because a person died with at least a thousand police on hand. Great job, guys.
We are all Americans first. We love our God, Trump continues.
Were going to study this situation. We want to see whats going wrong in this country.
Dude. Study what? History?
This man is dangerous. This man is vile. And this man gives negative fucks about black people. Of that I am clear.
