Isn’t it interesting that Republicans and the Red “Mad” Hatters are all flipping out because one crazy white boy (who was a bad shot) tried to kill Trump? And another didn’t get the opportunity to test his marksmanship before being ran off by Secret Service — this white-on-white crime is just getting out of hand!
I wonder if “60 Minutes” is going to do a segment called, “The Hate that Hate Produced?” Some of you may remember, back in July of 1959, Mike Wallace of “60 Minutes” became interested in the Nation of Islam after being told of the growing influence they were having in the Black community.
“60 Minutes” was given access to the organization and aired a segment entitled “The Hate that Hate Produced” (just look at how they framed it) in which all of America was then introduced to a strong young soldier by the name of Malcolm X (el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz). Wallace did his best to characterize Brother Malcolm, the Nation of Islam, and by extension, Black people as a whole, in the most negative, hateful and frightening way possible.
Now, let’s fast forward to 2024. Trump is operating from the same old playbook; doing all he can to frighten white folks so he can get back in the White House and keep himself out of jail. Have you listened to this guy lately? Trump says Black killers are coming here from the Congo. Haitian migrants are eating your dogs and cats — remember white folks use to say that about our Asian brothers and sisters. Kamala ain’t really Black and Barack ain’t really an American.
And just so you know, Trump is an equal opportunity hater! Trump also said that there are millions of people coming across our borders – hope you’re listening Billy Joe Bob – from Latin American countries, being released prisons, insane asylums, and gang members — they’re coming here taken all the Black jobs, in between raping our pretty white girls.
Now this is going to throw you guys off, so don’t let me lose you, but I’ve got to say this. Yes all of this is race baiting, but I really don’t see Trump as a racist. Oh, sure he throws bloody red meat out there to his Appalachian cousins to get them all riled up, hoping they’ll go to the voting booth and vote for him. But you can bet you will NEVER see any of those coverall-wearing, tobacco chewing, rednecks at Mar-a-Lago! He’s not a racist he’s just evil (the devil). I truly believe that Trump would pimp-out Melania, Ivanka, Trump Jr., Eric and Baron if the price was right.
What we’ve got to do is stay focused and don’t start feeling sad, sorry and acting silly because two of his own tried to take him out. Trump is evil, and yes, I know all my good Christian brothers and sisters really want to try and look at him and find some good in him, but it’s just not there.
I’m just being honest, and as a believer, I don’t like evil, as a matter of fact I hate evil! I’m not a Bible scholar but I believe that’s what the Bible says that we should do; hate evil. Psalm 97:10 in the New International Version says, “Let those who love the Lord hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.”
Now that others are speaking to Trump and his followers in a language that they all understand (the gun), they’re trying to tell us to dial back the rhetoric, feel sorry for Trump and give him a pass.
I say let’s stay focused on the scriptures. Can I get an Amen?
