I've kinda grown tired of hearing about Republicans being "shocked" or "disappointed" by :poop: Shit Trump Says :poop:
Tom Cotton is gutless turd. And so is David Perdue. So is Paul Ryan. So is Mitch McConnell. Republicans are good for two things. Being "shocked" and being "disappointed" by their president saying racist shit. Oh, and one more thing: doing absolutely NOTHING about it.
Well, fuck their shock and fuck their disappointment and fuck the Republican Party. Until they're ready to grow a pair and denounce this crazy man, they deserve to go down in flames every bit as much as he does and the sooner the better.
Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the politicians will issue pious proclamations to a man they would have despised had they been around when he was and now they minimize his marvelous militancy into a trite catchphrase. Pull the string on the Dr. King doll and he says, "I have a dream!"
Dr. King said other things too and they weren't reflective of a dream, but an ugly reality and that is the dark underbelly of America. That part nice people pretend no longer exists. The racist shithole that America was and will be again should Donald Trump have his way.
“Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?
“Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn. The reality of substantial investment to assist Negroes into the twentieth century, adjusting to Negro neighbors and genuine school integration, is still a nightmare for all too many white Americans…These are the deepest causes for contemporary abrasions between the races. Loose and easy language about equality, resonant resolutions about brotherhood fall pleasantly on the ear, but for the Negro there is a credibility gap he cannot overlook. He remembers that with each modest advance the white population promptly raises the argument that the Negro has come far enough. Each step forward accents an ever-present tendency to backlash.”
The majority of white Americans consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the Negro. They believe that American society is essentially hospitable to fair play and to steady growth toward a middle-class Utopia embodying racial harmony. But unfortunately this is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity.”
