OK I am really, really beginning to hate this orange imposter who has invaded our White House.
He now echoes comments we frequently see about people of color, women too, saying “they” should be “grateful” “we” have “given them” so much “opportunity,” etc.
Of course the fact that ALL people have equal rights under the Constitution doesn’t enter this equation because to some folks those rights and freedoms and opportunities have been “given” to us by White Men. And we should therefore bend over and kiss their boots at every possible opportunity; and when in doubt, beg. Yes. We should express our gratitude for their largesse, for allowing us to vote, to go to work, to die in the army — oh wait. They keep forgetting that. They seem to forget that all of us contribute to our society, that we pay taxes, create beauty, bear children, cook dinner for the overlord class and also put food on our collective national table, because we should be GRATEFUL for the opportunity to serve them and in exchange for which they ALLOW us to vote, maybe, and work, albeit for lesser pay, and live, except when we don’t quite measure up to the high standards set by Their Royal Whitenesses — and then maybe we don’t even get to live.
This unequal treatment of Puerto Rico is appalling and Guess Who just HAD to fire back at people criticizing it. He declares that
Yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah.
He also attacks Rex Tillerson for being a diplomat and says people protesting police brutality and racial injustice are disrespecting the flag and all “we” stand for as if civil rights and equal justice under the law are unAmerican all of a sudden.
I can’t stand it.
We must push back hard for America, the Beautiful, every single day in some way. Reaffirm our true values, keep telling the truth even if certain spoiled, entitled wanna-be dictators are upset and do not get tired EVER. Never give up. The stakes are just too high.
