More Progressive Voices speak out about Donald Trump.....because you know....he is the problem.

On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” comedian W. Kamau Bell argued white people needed to “handle Donald Trump.” He further described Trump as “the pinnacle of white privilege and white supremacy meeting in one place.”
Bell said, “White people, you’ve created race and then off of race, off the back of race, you created racism, and everybody has a racial category, except white people seem to not claim their racial category, which sucks because you’re most of the racial category in this country. And so I consider it my job to handle Ben Carson, Raven-Symoné, random black people on the Internet. It’s your job to handle Donald Trump.”

Bell explained what he meant by pointing to how Rachel Dolezal was handled, stating, “Black people came together. There’s a thing called Black Twitter, I’m sure you’re familiar with. Black Twitter came together to handle Rachel Dolezal. I also wrote a — I wrote blogs about it. I tweeted about it. I talked about it on stage as a comedian, that’s what I do. I’m still talking about it. I’m recognizing the problem, and talking about the problem, and claiming my race when I talk about the problem. I’m not talking about Rachel Dolezal as a human being. I’m talking about her as a fake black person. And I think white people need to talk about Donald Trump as the worst. He’s like the pinnacle of white privilege and white supremacy meeting in one place.” Bell added, “White people have no community. … So, white people, have some white pride, that’s all I’m saying.”

In a way, he's right.

Trump represents, among other things, a rising up of the white middle and lower classes that refuse to be silenced by accusations of bigotry.

That strategy by leftists has lost its bite.

Forcing the issues and interests of white middle and lower class voters out of the electoral process probably won't work any more... because of Trump.

So, Trump has already done a lot of good.

Well it is typical of the level of scholarship of African American Studies departments.

White people invented "race."

All righty then.

The guy can be the next T Bone Coates or whatever his name is.

You didn't handle Obama after claiming him as Black, so too late to ask me for anything. In fact you owe us reparations for Obama screwing up .... well... everything.

Is he trying to make us do something by calling us racist? Dude, 2008 called, and they want their lazy-ass, reason-free argument back. That shit is way past its expiration date.

I haven't been around a college campus for a couple of decades, Meade, so I'm kinda out of touch with the infantile craziness that scene produces in lowlifes like you.

But, we do have plenty of lowlife crazies like you in Woodstock. I avoid them like the plague. They like to get in shouting matches in the cafes.

You've got a lunch ticket. Why not just be happy with that?

Why is it that BLM and the black college students can't handle Trump? Can you see him calling them out. Could be hilarious.

"It’s your job..."

Indeed, but it's your call.

http://www.songlyrics.com/reba-mcentire/it-s-your-call-lyrics/

"It's your call, it's her
Would you rather take it in the other room?
She's hangin' on and so am I
Yeah, I know all about it don't act so surprised
It's time to end this game you're playin'
She's not the only one who's waitin' on the line

It's your call
It's up to you
And I won't try to stop you if you go
But if you stay tell her goodbye
I can't take another minute
I can't stand another night

Of wondering if I even matter



It's something only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call

There's no easy way out this time
'Cause I won't live this way
She called here to talk to you
With a message that I can't take

Oh, I've got to know if I still matter
It's somethin' only you can answer
Here's the phone, it's your call"

I would like to give thanks for Lem and this blog. I bought a TV recently from a blog's Amazon site, maybe this one. There are so many with so much positive, not in the sense positive is unearned ubiquitously entitled ergonomically-derived fuzzy warmness of feeling, but instead the feeling of well-earned reward after stress-inducing risks others fear to the point of paralysis.

Also, I had thought Ritno was straight up bad/unbeauty/wasteoftimeborderingonsomeonewhoaddsvaluetonihilisticresultsforetoldasultraepicuglyandyetstillanti-hyperbolic, and yet, and yet..

Well, most likely this is a signal my character-judgement or judgment is Faulty, and sans basil at that. I wish, dear God, there were some Authority that could relax my brain in times of stress, while, ya know, feeding the poor and clothing the naked, that indeed had men and women devoted to resolving and transfiguring personal issues that try souls, those that could offer insights and wisdom from a perspective religiously documented, and understandable therefore, from many, many differing perspectives.

White people, you’ve created race

Sometimes the dullness of the Leftist mind subdues one's credulity.

I just visited my favorite British satire site and they've completely lost their humor. Their discussions about islam and Muslims are so full of shit they're impossible and regarding Trump they've gone straight up Goodwin. I'm a bit surprised because there is no joke. It's pure 4Chan. No imagination. No skill. If there could be any joke at all itwould have to do with the word "seams" perhaps a pun "seems" for being such a fast photoshop, no feathering, no blending of tone, just a face cut out resized and pasted to turn Trump into Hitler. Excuse me while my gaping yawn causes cascading yawns of boredom to cross the entire globe. The discussion that follows equally trite, and all this from the liberal portion who elect Jeremy Corbyn their leader. Just shut up, and you're all gay.

British Labor obsessed, and I mean obsessed with American politics and especially Trump. The shits who allow Rotterdam presume to criticize Trump. They are exactly that arrogant.

That's only the beginning. All sections of the site are rife with the same treatment. They were already insane but now the Bedlam has erupted. Again.

And my impulse is jump in and go neener neener neener, stop making Trump sound attractive, stop right now convincing me to vote for him, but instead I merely observe the uproar like the good little kid who just sits there in the corner when the whole school cafeteria goes bonkers. As in a movie.

Later I would like to relate an anecdote of trial and tribulation, of emotional disruption, suffering and the heartbreak of psoriasis and ultimately of the persevering human spirit to triumph over adversity.

Is it later yet?

I think I just recovered from a bout of depression the likes of which are foreign to me and coming out of feels like breathing fresh air after suffocating from smoke. There is a definite physical component.

Ant the thing is so stupid. Triggered by the stupidest thing. And the cure was the easiest thing of all, a simple telephone call did the trick, but I suffered needlessly for days.

I should do drugs. People do drugs to correct this. I can see why people do drugs.

Kidding. But I must say it feels like a chemical thing. An imbalance.

A woman who I don't left a message telling me what I'll be doing for "our progress report" to proceed. I know of no such thing. This is the first that I'm hearing. I realize the company is the one that process our healthcare policies, an annual thing. A big f'n thing. Choices are arrayed. Fat puffy packages sent to everyone. Cost analysis performed again by everyone. The industry so fluid nothing is stable. Carriers and prices and offers change each year.

Then they stopped. No more puffy packages. Sufficiently stable to transfer to the next year. Such a nice break. And now this 3rd party woman hired to manage things is calling me and talking like I'm her employee. I called back and got a recording and left a message with all on my mind.

It was a lot.

I was a prick.

Then nothing. And I started to worry maybe the woman might be vindictive and drop the whole effort instead of processing without my cooperation on "our progress report." I get angry all over again. I needn't have to explain myself again to a new party interjecting and getting all up in my bizwax. Had she drilled just a few lines she'd know better to leave me alone. They pulled the same crap before releasing me from hospital the last transfusion. That depressed me. I had to answer about 50 questions entirely unrelated to my dealio. I resented it. Captive audience and all that. I'm sick of it and became depressed. Disrupted sleep. Disrupted thoughts. It was a bummer. So at length I couldn't stand it anymore and called Kansas City head office and asked directly. Spoke to a woman I've known for decades and she fixed me, snap, just like that. She said, "No Chip, you did not uckfay yourself in the bunghole by being rude to that woman and refusing her paperwork. That's Nut'n Honey." And I could just squee.

I like the way that he's taken up the black man's burden and has chosen to "handle" Ben Carson and Raven Symone (whoever she is). Way to go, bro. Ben Carson is responsible for so many negative stereotypes. If only he could be like Ray Nagin, Kwame Kilpatrick, Sharpe James and other such exemplary politicians how much better off we would all be.

Great posts Chip. The Labourites hate Trump, because in England Trump would literally be put in jail for "Hate speech" for what he is saying. The British will never solve their Muslim problem until they solve their free speech problem.

I guess underneath all the politeness, the English are raging tornadoes of emotion, and without strict speech codes, would start Killing each other. Hence, putting anyone in jail who speaks badly of anyone on account of race, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, immigration status, religion, or weight.

+1 this x 1,000.
