Everyone on both the political left and right has both wasted time with the Hillary Clinton email server non-story. The Clinton email scandal is a story that has been largely overhyped in recent months. Which is crazy because hardly mentioned in recent days is that Clinton has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the DOJ.

As Donald Trump continues to suck the air out of the right-wing echo chamber with his ongoing narcissism, racism, and sexism, surprisingly, the following story has as reported by Business Insider has gained hardly any traction in the national media as it should.

A man named Fred Trump was among those arrested in a massive brawl between KKK members and police at a 1927 Memorial Day parade in New York City, according to a contemporaneous Times article surfaced Wednesday by the blog Boing Boing.

 

[…]  While six other men arrested in the brawl faced charges, the Times report noted that Fred Trump was discharged. All seven of the men who were arrested were represented by the same team of two lawyers, according to the Times report.

 

The Times reported that police said the brawl broke out because the Klan reneged on an agreement not to wear any of their symbols to the parade. The Klan members, for their part, accused the police of exceeding their authority in trying to keep them out of the parade, according to the report.

When I first read the story, I initially thought that the Republican establishment has had enough of Trump; and,  that they were making a move on him. Let’s be honest: Trump has hogged the spotlight to the extent that real politicians with real policy positions have been drowned out. But, as we head into the second Republican Debate of the election cycle this week, the possibility of Trump’s father being either a Klansman isn’t a lead story.

With the heightened tension across the country as Black Lives Matter continues to come under fire as yet another police officer was killed by yet another Black Lives Matter sympathizer who happens to be black. One would think that a story about Donald Trump’s father being arrested for fighting cops alongside the KKK in New York City of all places would gain some traction.

But, of course, that’s just how that “white privilege” thing works. Trump will never be questioned abut this, nor will he ever be forced to comment or acknowledge the story.

Which is sad because Trump’s campaign rhetoric has managed to motivate at least a few supporters to yell, “White Power!” at a recent rally in Alabama. And of course, there was the incident in Boston where two men arrested for assaulting a homeless man who happened to be Hispanic, claimed to be motivated by Donald Trump.

Trump’s father being racist may not be a national security concern like whatever was on Hillary Clinton’s private email server. However, I think the public has a right to have a debate as to whether Donald Trump is just another apple that fell not too far from a racist apple tree.

I think it’s only right, considering that Trump questioned the legitimacy of America’s first black president – and probably still does – and, now he plans to make “America Great Again.” Shouldn’t we question for whom Trump plans to make America great again? I’m all for America being great, but not with a racist president. But hey, at least Trump wouldn’t be forced to denounce his pastor of twenty years and leave his church to appease “certain people” like someone else I know.

Yep, ain’t no telling what’s on Trump’s email server.

Of course Trump is no saint like Reagan. However, with his wealth, he is what a “founding father” would look like today. Yes, very racist; and, very wealthy. Which makes sense when your campaign slogan or presidential goal is to “Make America Great Again.” Which apparently means returning to a time when a woman’s menstrual cycle wasn’t a source of public discourse and hypocritical discomfort.

You know, a simpler time when women were seen and not heard. A time when women were not able to vote; have agency over their own bodies; or, even dared to challenge the sexist and misogynistic thoughts of any man without having blood come out of their eyes or “wherever.” Yes indeed, folks. Those were truly manly and fun times.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front runner, suggested that Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly asked him tough questions because she was on her period.

 

Appearing on CNN, captured by Think Progress, Trump said that Kelly, who questioned Trump about past misogynistic statements where he called women pigs and cows was asking “ridiculous questions” because she had “blood coming out of her eyes” and “blood coming out of her whatever.”

 

Trump’s fellow Republican candidates did not issue statements or condemnations of him when he promoted a tweet earlier in the day that called Kelly a “bimbo.”

Now this is interesting…

When Donald Trump made racist remarks about Hispanics, he received little pushback from his Republican ilk. In fact, he doubled down on the notion that Mexican illegal immigrants were rapists and murderers. For which he received a bump in the polls. Yep, nothing like some good old racism to get the Republican base fired up.

He insulted John McCain and his military service. After which, most of them said, “Meh.” No big deal. McCain lost to Obama in 2008 and has apparently fallen out of grace with the Republican base for doing just that. Yes, he wasn’t racist enough.

But now that Trump has attacked the puritanical innocence of white womanhood (sorry Rosie O’Donnell, but you’re a gay) embodied by Fox’s Megyn Kelly, that’s a problem. Shit, I hope he doesn’t end up like Emmett Till. Lord forbid if that should happen.

According to most white folks, crime in white communities is as rare as responsible black fathers. White neighborhoods are as close to peaceful utopias as Disney World, only without the rides and cartoon character costume workers. The people there are polite, kind, hard-working, honorable, respectable and have good ole’ fashion American values. In other words white people live there. So, there’s nothing to fear.

On the other hand – still according to many whites – black and brown communities are pits of hell on Earth. Crime and violence always happen there, and most of the crime in the United States is caused by those people. Those neighborhoods support their hedonistic violent cultures and they have no one and nothing to blame but themselves.

It’s no wonder why you need to keep your windows up and doors locked when you drive through their hoods. That’s why those places are best to stay away from, especially at night because you know, black and brown people live there. Trouble is bound to happen.

This is what people like conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly and real estate mogul Donald Trump thinks. Tracy Clayton of the Root reports:

“According toBill O’Reilly,” tweeted Trump (and we know that once you begin making a point by quotingBill O’Reilly, it’s all downhill from there), “80% of all the shootings in New York City are blacks — if you add Hispanics, that figure goes to 98%. 1% white.” In tweets that have since been deleted, Trump went on to say, “When it comes to violent crime, and if we are going to solve the problem, we must stop being so politically correct — must tell it like it is!” Then, “Likewise, the primary victims of violent crime are in the African-American and Hispanic communities. These people want LAW AND ORDER now!”

This doesn’t surprise me in the least. I only read and heard similar statements like this only a million-zillion times already. It’s useless to act shocked, let alone offended. After a while, you kinda let it pass over.

One thing is true though, African-American and Hispanics are also aware of the problem of crime and violence in the community. However, unlike O’Reilly, Trump and many other white-minded critics, there are black and brown folk who actively do what they can with what they have to stop it. When was the last time Ole’ Bill and Don help end crime in places like Brooklyn or Harlem while trying to find ways to eject President Obama and protect the tax brackets of the filthy rich?

I guess Ms. Clayton and I were wrong in what black and brown communities in NYC want. I thought they wanted an end to ‘stop and frisk’ and police brutality. I also thought they want adequate and equal opportunity employment and housing and more effective ways to lower and fight crime and still be treated like human beings. But I guess all we want is “Law and Order”, which I guess they meant the TV show.

QUESTION(S): Is it possible for one to be racist and totally unaware that they are? In 2011, can we still use ignorance as an excuse?

In all my years of being a professional racism chaser, I never knew there were varying degrees of racism. Yes, nobody ever told me there is an actual racism meter. Up until now I never knew that someone could actually be kinda racist, slightly racist, or extremely racist. Obviously I’m showing my ignorance here, and to you I offer my apologies. I’m sorry, I’ve been the product of an ill formed opinion all these years. Of course up until Donald Trump appeared on Fox & Friends this morning, I’ve always thought that this racism thing was pretty cut and dry, or black and white as they say. I mean, you’re either racist, or you’re not. Or so I thought, right? Post-racial rule changes are a bitch.

Here is Donald Trump’s appearance on Fox this morning where he’s discussing Obama, bin Laden, China, claims of him being racist, and whatever garbage falls out of his mouth. When asked about Von Jones‘ campaign to have celebrities denounce Trump’s “racism”, Trump said: “I am the least racist person there is” I’m sorry, but being “the least racist,” isn’t actually a denial. Which is kinda funny because as far as Trump, though I don’t know his cracker-ass, I never thought he would be brave enough to play the racist card to jeopardize his brand. But here he is pretty much admitting, that he is in fact racist, but not like the other guys. Let’s be honest: believing Barack Obama to be Kenyan and brought to this country so his parents and grandparents could get on Welfare, isn’t really a racist theory because they’re white. And neither is suggesting that president Obama is intellectually inferior and only got to Harvard via Affirmative Action, because George Bush was a C-Average student.

Nope, Trump might not be the kind to burn a cross on a front yard, drag a black person behind a moving truck, or even vote for Obama like all the racist blacks who did in 2008. Nope, that’s not him. Besides, there’s no way he can be that racist unlike him being the “least racist,” simply because of the fact that Randal Pinkett, a black guy, actually won a season of Celebrity Apprentice. Now I’m not saying that Trump is in fact racist; I think if he was he would’ve said he has black friends. However, isn’t it nice to know that though some people may think a black man isn’t qualified to run the country, that at least one of us is capable of winning Trump’s stupid-ass bore of a reality show?

You see, Trump is now playing the tough guy role. He knows America loves the tough guiy president. Guys who bow down on foreign soil to foreign dignitaries and heads of states? nah, America ain’t into that so much. Of course lacking any real substance as far as policy, what does he do? He appeals to pretty much any and everybody feeling it at the gaspump with this tough talk. Listen to how they cheered for him; they bought it. Sadly, even Trump knows this is not how the oil industry works. The people on the other hand? Well, let’s just say he’s playing them like puppets on a string with his tough talk.

You see, if Trump was as tough as the image he’s trying to convey right now. Trump would not have dodged the Vietnam war by using deferments like he did. Instead, he would have been there serving the country which all of a sudden he’s in love with. But nope, like many a privileged coward, unlike the many draftees who went to war, Trump played sick and sat his ass at home and pretended to be in college. But now all of a sudden he’s the guy to run up on OPEC like he’s thugged out like that, when he wouldn’t burst a grape.

You wanna know the truth? Trump is a media whore; this is how he makes his money; yep, real estate ain’t hittin’ on shit right now. He also knows that Friday is traditionally a slow news day. Yep, most stories are dumped on a Friday so as to avoid any traction. But Trump knew this, and he also knew the biggest story of the day was the Royal Wedding. So, being the attention whore that he is, he threw this tough guy talk all in attempt to steal the Royal Wedding’s shine.

Yep, this is what the media will be talking about all weekend. But somehow, like Trump, they won’t tell you no president has any power to influence the price of oil directly as far as OPEC is concerned. This is pure politics, and nothing more, folks. But hey, maybe he’s right. Maybe if a Black man were to get gansgta (like they expect him to because he’s Black) on Opec, maybe gas prices will go down. After all, as gully as George Bush was, not even he could get it done when he was the man. But Trump knows this; and, he’s counting on you being an idiot to buy the horseshit he’s selling like the idiots who cheered.

I’m really bothered by the fact that our political discourse right now is being dominated by this racist Birther garbage. Seriously, I wish the media spent more time discussing the CPC’s “The People’s Budget” than Trump and the rest of the wack-jobs. I mean birth certificate or not, the fact still remains: the economy is kicking our ass! But I could understand why MSNBC has covered this crap more than CNN or even Fox. The truth is, it’s better to focus on the most polarizing subject that is race in America, rather than the fact that your parent company (General Electric) laid off 21,000 employees, and closed 20 plants in recent years, and also didn’t pay a dime in taxes last year though posting a $14.2 billion profit. Yep, talking about this birth certificate thingy happens to be a pretty good distraction. But not like the distraction of releasing the birth certificate some say it is, or would have you believe.
Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, the only news agency that has waged a relentless investigative campaign on questions swirling around the Obama’s eligibility for nearly three years, was elated at the turn of events.

“We’re gratified that our work has begun to pay off,” he said. “The certificate of live birth is an absolutely vital foundation for determining constitutional eligibility of any president. We look forward to reviewing it like so many other Americans do at this late date. But it is important to remember there are still dozens of other questions concerning this question of eligibility that need to be resolved to assure what has become a very skeptical public concerning Barack Obama’s parentage, his adoption, his citizenship status throughout his life and why he continues to cultivate a culture of secrecy around his life.” (source: WorldNetDaily)But anyway, I’m not sure how I feel about president Obama producing his “long form” version of his birth certificate yesterday. A part of me feels that it was a good move because from here on out those clowns will not be able to say another word about it. Which is total bullshit because even with the birth certificate produced, the loons are still of the opinion that he was born in a Kenyan manger to a virgin white mother (yeah, his daddy didn’t have sex with her; she was pure), and the Three Wise Men showed up and gave little baby Barack the gift of gab, a fake-ass birth certificate, and a basketball, because being on the court is just the thing “the Blacks” do; and do much better then running the greatest imperial nation on the planet.

Then there’s the other side of me that thinks him producing the birth certificate yesterday, isn’t a win. Instead, it’s actually a sign of weakness or bowing down in submission to the ideologically and intellectually bankrupt citizens of the United States. I mean I’ve shown you videos on this site before; you’ve heard them in their own words. Above and beyond being racist, they’re indeed a bunch of ignoramuses. And for me, for my president to bow down – if even symbolic – seriously pisses me off. Yes, so much so that I’m seeing shades of 2008 all over again when they “made him” leave his church of twenty years. I’m not the most religious person in the world, but if a man can be leave his church to appease racist reactionaries who still think he’s Muslim, then…

If I was Barack Obama, before speaking publicly anywhere, I’d walk out to the tune of “Say It Loud (I’m Black And I’m Proud” by James Brown. But then again that might piss off his white side enough to lose votes Still not a bad idea since he had to produce his “long form” slave… oops, I mean freedom papers.

Checkout the reactions of conservatives to the release of the “long form” birth certificate here and here. But in the mean time I gotta ask the following questions: was the release of the “long form” birth certificate a good or bad move? How exactly does this benefit Barack Obama politically? Who won?

The post Was Producing the “Long Form” Birth Certificate a Good or Bad Idea? appeared first on Madness & Reality.

OK, so I’m not a wedge issue kinda guy. You know, like when it comes to voting for someone for the very important position that is the president of the United States? Yeah, for me it takes more than one issue to earn my support. What can I say, I’m not like pretty much all Republicans and the Black people who cast their votes for president based on one single issue – Black people, keep it real: we only vote for Democrats because Lincoln freed the salves, right? So yeah, I’m so not that type of guy (Hopefully you’re still laughing at the sentence before this last one). But, if I was, I would vote for Donald Trump.

I totally forgot Trump entertained the idea of running for president back in 1999. Looking back at how he felt about the following issue, coupled with the fact that he has a great relationship with “the Blacks” who are to blame for Obama being president. He would totally have my vote for president tomorrow. Yeah, forget the racist Birther stuff; I’d forgive him if he felt the same way about health-care like he had back in the day:
I really believe the Repub­li­cans are just too crazy, right?” he told Tim Russert onMeet the Press. “I mean, just what’s going on is just nuts.”

“We must have uni­ver­sal health­care. I’m a con­ser­v­a­tive on most issues but a lib­eral on this one. We should not hear so many sto­ries of fam­i­lies ruined by health­care expenses.”

The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a sys­tem that looks a lot like Canada. “Doc­tors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduc­tion in their paper­work,” he writes.

The Cana­dian plan also helps Cana­di­ans live longer and health­ier than Americans.

We need, as a nation, to reex­am­ine the single-payer plan, as many indi­vid­ual states are doing.

And on his crit­i­cism of George Bush and the Iraqi inva­sion, The Trump said, “He’d go into a coun­try, attack Iraq, which had noth­ing to do with the World Trade Cen­ter, and just do it because he wanted to do it.”I mean seriously, based on what he said back then, Trump sounds like a lighter-skinned Barack Obama with fucked up hair, right? No joke, he sounded like one of those liberals he now despises as much as he does a 15mph headwind. Oh well, too bad he isn’t concerned about those things today, and has it in for that Kenyan birth certificate. I guess something about a Black man being able to raise $1 billion to be elected president bothers him; but I could be wrong.

I heard the news recently about Glenn Beck’s upcoming departure from Fox. And, I’m not sure if that’s actually a good thing; something tells me he’s still gonna lurk the background at Fox. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the idea of lurking racists. Not that I watched his show or anything, but I prefer my racists to be front and center. Ask any professional racism chaser such as myself and they’ll tell you. As fast as racism runs and as tricky a son-of-a-bitch as racism is, we prefer him to be as obvious and open as a Klan march on Main Street. So, don’t celebrate Beck’s departure just yet; find out his next move first.

I tell you one thing I’m kinda happy about; and I’m sure it’s going to shock you. As much as I can’t stand the ridiculous antics of Donald Trump as one of “the Blacks,” I appreciate that he’s front and center. I know, sounds crazy I’m sure. But have you noticed that since he’s been on the scene with all his silly talk that Sarah Palin has been pretty damn quiet? No seriously, think about that for a few. We haven’t heard a damn thing from that airhead in recent weeks. Which is odd considering the attention whore she’s known to be. So something tells me that if her daughter can make a career out of getting knocked up as a teen. Surely Sister Sarah will be back. So at any rate, so as to keep it post-racial, don’t be surprised if they both team up. Give them their own show; hell, make them partners on Dancing With The Stars or something.

I’m tellin’ you, folks: Donald Trump is that turd that doesn’t wanna get flushed. Damn straight; he’s a friggin floater with mangy hair, and he won’t go away. Of course last week I told about how much he’s gotten on my nerves while I was in recovery from eye surgery. But this week, though I really hate to discuss his ass, he has sunken to a new low with this birther garbage.

He’s already concocted some cockamamee grand conspiracy about Obama’s birth in Kenya involving the FBI, the CIA, and the Three Wise Men on Morning Joe the other day. Now, this past weekend appearing on CNN’s State Of The Union, he provides another twist to justify what I honestly see as racism.

Obama’s white grandparents brought him to America as part of a scheme to get Welfare. Yeah, I know; unbelievable, right? But hey, you gotta give it to him for keeping his racism consistent enough to throw the Welfare Queen meme often used by Conservatives in the mix. Hell, this asshole is covering all the bases:

TRUMP: The grandparents put that [birth announcement] in [the newspaper] because obviously they want him to be a United States citizen because in those days, people were much more proud than they are today unfortunately for being a United States citizen.

So they wanted him to be a citizen of the United States, for that purpose, and also for hospitalization, for welfare, for this, for that, for all the other assets you get from being a United States citizen. So there are a lot of very smart people who say that is routinely done and that was done by his grandparents. […]

CROWLEY: I will tell you we’ve checked with both these papers early on — not to the latest when you brought it back in the headlines — but the fact is that the hospitals reported this information to the papers, and the papers printed it.

TRUMP: Who knows? You’re talking fifty years ago.Sure it was fifty years ago; and, Donald’s actually right. Fifty years ago, unlike today, with the exception of rich people like Madonna and Angelina Jolie. White folks imported black kids from Africa to reap the benefits of the public dole. I tell you, that Donald Trump guy is a friggin’ pure unadulterated genius.

Here’s to hoping he doesn’t start killing all first-born sons of Kenyan citizens. You know a guy with his kind of money, could pull that off in a movie studio and make it believable in a biblical or ‘Avatar’ sorta way. Hear it for yourself:

You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t been around and posting for quite some time. Well, I’ve been on hiatus due to recent surgery for my ongoing eye problems. Surgery went well, and I’m back; and, I’m happy to report that I am no longer legally blind as vision has been restored. Yeah, y’een know I was doing this blog shit blind, right? Uh-huh, imagine that; a blind racism chasing blogger. Yup, I should get a medal for this shit or something of the sort.

But anyway, during my recovery not being able to read (on and offline) proved to be a bitch. As a result, I had to resort to actually paying attention to corporate run media outlets for news and commentary. If it wasn’t for television stations like Link TV, I would have probably shot my television by now out of frustration over some of the garbage I was hearing. For example, Donald Trump got on my last shred of nerves the other day popping off on The View about President Obama’s birth certificate:

Now look, I realize the field of potential GOP presidential candidates reads like a who’s who of certified dumbassness, knuckledragery, and hypocrisy of the Batshit crowd. Yes, they even have “Black Garbage Pail Kid” and slave-catcher extraordinaire Herman Cain running off at the mouth talking about him being “a real Black man,” and suggesting that Obama doesn’t want none because his penis is bigger… Negro please! Sit’cho ass down somewhere, Herman. Those white folks in the GOP ain’t feeling you that much, broham.

But of all the potential GOP candidates, none makes my asshole itch more than Donald Trump. I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired of hearing and smelling the turds which speweth from that trough that passes as a mouth of his. Seriously, I’m sick of his media attention whorism as he continues to lambaste the president. Shit, talk about his policies if you disagree, but now this prick is pulling Birther shit? Hell, when will this Kenya crap ever die down?

Well you know what? Sure Donald Trump fits the mold of POTUS perfectly (of course his punk-ass isn’t gonna get anywhere near a nomination). He’s a rich white man; and judging by the last oxygen thief in office, that’s qualification enough. However, to get my vote, Trump’s toupee needs to produce a birth certificate. If a Black man and his family can’t sleep at the White House and run the country, we damn sure can’t have a guy with imported rat hair doing it… or is that permed alpaca? Show your shit, Donald; and stay of my teevee.
