The older I get, I am more surprised at how people have been able to suppress American history on a wide scale and be fine with it. No, it’s not just the fact that about 25%-33% of all cowboys were black, and the term Cowboy might have been coined to describe black men, but 99% of all photos and paintings and movies and TV westerns never included up to 1/3 of the population. No, I am not shocked about how many patents and inventions were created by blacks but were stolen or never acknowledged, like Jim Beam’s Whiskey, or George Washington Carver’s contribution to the assembly line, or Louis Latimer’s development of the filament which made the light go for Edison. I am not even disturbed that its likely 20% of slave owners were white women–let alone those who co-owned with their husbands–and were just as brutal as their male counterparts to their slaves.
What I wanna know is, where are those damn hoods? The KKK started after the Civil War ended, and there have been millions of members in America over the last 154 years. But have you ever seen a KKK uniform outside of a museum, a rally or some freak sitting on the Donahue or Jerry Springer Show?
It’s not like you seem them in the trash cans or landfills. You ever see one for sale in an antique shop? The government didn’t confiscate them. So, where are these robes? Where are the hoods? I don’t even want to get into who made them, or who is still making them….and everybody white I speak to surprisingly has never seen a KKK uniform up close either. Again, there have been as many as 6 millon KKK members at one time, but nobody’s seen nuthin’. Well played white people, well played, but that is another story….
Because of America’s penchant for hiding the truth, and getting mired in “fake news,” it is imperative that we go after the Concealer in Chief. Go after the head, and the body will follow.
For those of you that want to get him out of power, you cannot do it with showcasing old men in a neutral battleground like you did with Mueller yesterday. Mueller was the kid who saw his father beat his mother half to death, but didn’t want to cause any waves at the family court hearing, because he hangs out with his father’s side of the family. You gotta do better than that to knock out the champion prevaricator.
You must challenge him on EVERY lie.
If you don’t challenge him, you look weak. If you don’t press him after you challenge him, you look weak. You must keep it up, you cannot relent. As you keep digging at him with facts, challenging his lack of manhood, he’ll leave you alone.
Go after his character, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Mommy can’t always be right; if you don’t have anything nice to say, say it louder and more often.
Since Trump baits everyone, call him a Master Baiter.
Call him a liar, every day. Every. Single. Day. Look what he did to media? And to truth?
Where is the Lie-O-Meter? The Lie Of The Day? Where is the Democratic website dedicated to explaining his lies and the dates they occur? You have all these rich people, and no left leaning network? No, CNN pays Republicans to lie about the President, and Rachel Maddow hasn’t recovered on MSNBC for exposing inconclusively weak portion of tax returns like Geraldo Rivera opened up an empty Al Copone’s safe….there are no one sided counterparts to FOX, the Oklahoma legislature, or the 700 Club.
You must mock him; it is not enough to point out his lies, you must make fun of his shortcomings, and make it funny. There is a lot funny with this man, but you are too angry to exploit it. When you speak of him, you never lower your brow, never scowl, and never shout.
Whenever Trump or his allies make a statement, you automatically know it’s a lie, so you just have to check him and them on the statement; each statement.
Senator Lindsey Graham, Senator McConnell and Mike Pence have said that Trump isn’t a misogynist or a racist. Really?
Vice President Pence, can you tell me what a racist is? I mean, what does a racist do? Who in fact is a racist? Please give examples. Who is the most raciest racist there is in America? Why haven’t you advocated sending them to deprogramming camps?
Senator Graham should every day be hearing how he called Donald Trump a racist in 2015, and ask him why he changed his mind? Do you think that your gay friends are ok with Trump’s racism? Yeah, you know where I’m going there, don’t you…?
Senator McConnell, are you an authority on racism? I mean, you’ve been a judge and now you are one of the most powerful people in America, and we expect you to fully understand the impact of racism in America, given your important positions. Tell me, what qualifies you to speak on race? What articles, essays, books have you read, written, or debated? Have you consulted with people to discuss racism? Who have you consulted? I believe that Congressman John Lewis, who was beaten during a civil rights march as a college student and was kicked out of a department store for being colored, knows what racism is. Congressman Lewis is an in fact, an expert on racism, one of the best and the brightest on this subject in America, and certainly in Congress on the history and impact of US racism. He is supremely qualified to speak about racism. Now Congressman Lewis says that Trump is a racist. Are you calling Congressman Lewis a liar? Are you saying that you know more about the black experience and racism than Congressman Lewis? Can you be trusted to discuss any issues which involve race? How can you be trusted to be fair, since your party has acknowledged a deep state of Alt Right and racists in the party who openly support you and the Republicans?
Trump calls people Anti-Semitic? That’s pretty much the biggest word I’ve ever heard Trump use, so I’d call him on it, kinda like a 5th grader using Cliff’s Notes to write a term paper and just dropped existentialism. President Trump, what do you mean? Who taught you about anti-Semitism, your dad? Is it anti-Semitic to ask for your ‘Jew lawyer?’ Make him explain himself, so we’re not confused.
Every. Day. Don’t move on to different issues; continue the Twit’s threat until his fingers bleed.
When they say that they aren’t putting people into concentration camps along the border, host a contest for citizens to create a new name for what the housing crisis should be called.
Ask Trump where his father’s hood is. Oh, for those of you that don’t know, Donald Trump’s father was arrested in New York City in 1927 during a “near-riot” in a KKK altercation. What happened is for conjecture, but when 1,000 KKK members march because they want to fight/protest/quell Roman Catholic police, logic tells us that you cannot be caught in the midst of a KKK rally to challenge cops unless you’re a participant.
I want a t-shirt that says: (and no item can be reproduced or use the following phrases without permission of Harold Lowe)
‘Emails? Please, I want the hood.’
‘Where is the Hood?’
‘Fight the Power, Fred Trump and KKK 1927’
‘Illegal Immigrant Bootlegger to KKK rioter and federal housing cheat to President in 3 generations.’
‘Making America Hate Again, just like 1927’
Ask Trump is he saying that there are many fine people on the ALT Right/KKK side because of his father?
When Trump says that the economy has more black people working that ever, remind him that there was 100% employment during slavery, but even then, people only had one job to make ends meet. Ask him about how many jobs created under him are full time? Ask him how many people have more than one job? Ask him when is he going to fix middle America? When is he going to fix the opioid crisis?
Tell what he hasn’t done, every day.
When they say the Mueller report was a witch hunt, ask him how Michael Cohen is doing? Ask him if he’s afraid they’ll lock him up?
When they chant send her back, you tell him “Your wife first, your wife first..”
What I am trying to say is that Democrats must stop pretending that they’re too cute to wrestle. If you are too cute, then sit down, shut up, and Let America Down Again.
I don’t care that you go after each other; I care that you don’t have the courage to go after Trump on his own turf. He constantly goes after people, because he doesn’t let you define the narrative. You let him define himself, and you let him define you.
You give in because its like listening to a spoiled child, and you just want the whining to stop…but it doesn’t. I saw a video of a child screaming, punching, and running for 12 hours during a flight from Europe to America, and the mother did next to nothing to minimize the child’s rage. What she failed to recognize was that by not taking serious action, that kid’s actions affected everyone else on the plane. Life is tenuous enough; compound the hazards of flying and doing so with an out of control tyrant, and all suffer. Moreover, I now hate that kids’ mom, and I’ve never met her. It is human nature to be angry and despise those that fail to protect us, even enabling others to inflict damage on us. You are already getting America to hate you, even before a primary has taken place. You’re starting to look like the people who live with the hoods, and instead of challenging the wearer, you fold the hoods neatly in the attic.
You Democrats better get it together and learn how to fight.
