Black people can feel unsafe again in Trump’s America
We re-learned something in this 2024 election cycle we already knew.
America is who we think it is. And we keep trying to Cinderalla-lize our notions of the good America. We keep following the yellow brick road only to find bricks upside our heads at the end. Don’t we get it? America was made for white people, end of story. All the rest of us are necessary subject items tolerated to empower and entertain white Kings and Queens. That’s why the white Kings and Queens vote emphatically to maintain the status quo. Sure, the beautiful language in the Constitution is just a façade and the execution of a masterful charade. No matter how hard black people try to squeeze themselves into this American dream, as it turns out, we continue to experience a living nightmare. White people will destroy themselves to destroy us. We should know this by now. The sooner we face this fact, the more we can stop wasting time talking about joy, and can’t all just get along. And then, the Donald Trump phenomenon makes sense. We face an existential threat from white people full stop. It is no longer a clandestine proposition; it is the anti-Gospel being preached and practiced for the whole world to see. If you want to know how to disenfranchise a people thoroughly, America just showed you how. No matter how you spin it, a black woman President was too much for white America to swallow, as is the notion that black people should be truly equal and free. Wake up, black people, and gird up your loins because we cannot escape the history of America. For the sake of white supremacy, not only will white America turn a blind eye to racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, fraud, crimes, lies, treason, etc., but it will embrace all of the above.
