Trump on Charlottes­ville - stated the ‘obvious’ or is he ‘emotionall­y with KKK’?

-

WHEN you promised American voters to make America great again, many American, and those of us watching from outside thought you wanted to implement policies of economic nationalis­m.

We were not surprised when you got colleagues from the industry to be part of your advisory group. Now we have realized that it was not all about American Economic Nationalis­m, but White American Racial Supremacy. Your hidden agenda of a great America is the America for the white Americans and those who believe in white supremacy.

In some of my past letters to you, I stated that your society is racially divided, therefore one of the key issues you have to tackle is the harmonizat­ion of the social and economic inequaliti­es, through expansion of economic opportunit­ies especially to the African Americans and other minorities settled in the USA.

Your last 3 Press Conference­s over the racial violence in Charlottes­ville have shown all the Americans who you really are on the racial divide. It is a pity that you Mr. President, has to take your great country and its people two or more centuries behind. However, your intentions, no matter how economical­ly powerful they may be, they will cause havoc and mayhem to the people, but universal moral justice

Cwill defeat you, and those who believe in racial supremacy.

Racism is evil, it epitomizes greed using the feature difference­s among human being and was used for colonial conquest and plunder of global resources as European imperial expansion grew. It was also backed by an era of racial sciences, which marked conquering races as superior, and the conquered as inferior. Modern science has proven one human species beyond dispute. So to those of you who are still “drunk” with racial supremacy, too bad, you are wallowing in the shallow waters the world of human beings whoever they are, whatever color they are, whatever features they have is the new world for all.

Mr. President, just for a moment stop and think if all other people started doing to white Americans, what those Ku KLAN, do to others would you guarantee the safety of white Americans in America itself; NO! Would you guarantee the safety of white Americans across the globe; NO! The hole o ld go on racial fire Mr. President, since you have done three conference­s over the issue, you may want to do the fourth one. Condemn racial ONDEMNING Trump says things that are true and the establishm­ent

“emotionall­y with KKK.”

US President Donald Trump has denounced the violence that erupted on Saturday in the city of Charlottes­ville, Virginia, saying both the far right and the left are to blame for the bloody clashes.

He was initially criticized for not explicitly condemning white supremacis­ts rallying in Charlottes­ville.

Trump also questioned the mounting campaign against Confederat­e monuments, saying that it could lead the US down a slippery slope and warned statues of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington could be the next to fall if the trend continues.

US mainstream media have been quick to paint Trump as a sympathize­r of neo-Nazis and white supremacis­ts.

“I think they were just looking for any opportunit­y to fault him for saying what was obvious to anybody who watched that footage – which was there was violence coming from both sides,” Jim Jatras told RT.

“Let’s be honest, for months in this country we’ve had this socalled Antifa, the so-called anti-fascist who frankly are fascists themselves, who use these Stormtroop­er tactics to attack violently people they disagree with. They call them ‘racists’ even if they are not racists. You have people who can’t speak on college campuses – they’ll attack you if you wear a “Make America great again” hat and they’ve been doing it with impunity,” he added.

According to the former diplomat, Trump was the right to call them out. “Of course he’s going to denounce, and rightly so, people who are in fact Nazis or Klansmen or things of their sort. But let’s not pretend that these people in black with the masks and the clubs violence, condemn the racists in particular the KKK, and even call for its abolition because its ideology is a danger to the human race.

Those of us who want to live in a peaceful world will not respond with evil intentions. We will respond with love and care for the white or black Americans, whoever they are. In your fourth press conference you many want to also put the o ficial ideology o the A as a non-racist society. It may have been racially divided, but we should be putting that behind us. Your personal beliefs. The people who voted for you, did not vote for racism. That was the pocket agenda that has come out so blatantly for the whole would to see. You may wish to apologize for having mixed your pocket agenda and the democratic governance system of the United States.

In the book of Ecclesiast­es 12:13-14, it says “fear God keep his commandmen­ts for this what man should do for God will bring every work into judgment including every secret thing whether good or evil”.

Trump has faced mounting pressure from lawmakers and the media to condemn the far right in stronger terms. However, the resident said both sides o the con ict are to blame beca se it has the virtue of being true,” Jatras said.

“That is the one thing that the establishm­ent Republican­s along with all the Democrats really don’t like about Trump – is he says things that are tr e that they find ncom ortable he told RT. “They would like nothing better for him to be constantly apologizin­g – saying: “Oh, yes, racist this, racist that.”

“Where is the Justice Department Task Force, the civil rights Task Force looking into Antifa, and where their funding is coming from, and who is directing their violent activities. That side of the ledger is not shown. Frankly, I think the Republican­s are just as complicit in this as the Democrats,” he added.

Following the Charlottes­ville clashes, some American cities rushed to remove Confederat­e-era monuments. According to Brian Becker, these statues commemorat­e people who took up arms against the US government in defense on slavery.

“These have been longstandi­ng symbols of white supremacy and the defense of Jim Crow and Apartheid in America,” he told RT.

“This would be like having a monument in Russia to Nazi Germany – that is what this means. These are the people who took up arms against the US government in defense of the system of slavery. Black people should not be forced to bow and walk in front of these monuments that are testimonia­ls and celebratio­n of their enslavemen­t,” Becker continued.

“The Washington Monument, the [Thomas] Jefferson Memorial, which are also monuments of slaveholde­rs – that is not the point – these monuments have been built not as a national historical thing – it is about the white supremacy movement erecting them at the times in American history in the 1890’s and in the early 1920’s and right before that, when there was an effort to push back against black freedom,” he said.

When commenting on the Charlottes­ville violence, Becker says, Trump was inspired by his “real feelings.”

“Look at what happened yesterday – he was reading. He had to read a prepared statement. Somebody else wrote it for him because he was under so much pressure,” he told RT.

“On Saturday when the young woman was killed, and so many were injured as a consequenc­e of neo-Nazi fascist violence Trump co ldn t bring himsel to say anything against them o finally the pressure mounted and he read a prepared statement, and then he did his deed,” Becker continued.

“But what we saw today was the real Donald Trump, and he is really angry at the left. The people who came out and provided protection and security from this organizati­on,” said analyst.

According to Becker, the alt-right is a myth and “these are the KKK [Ku Klux Klan] Nazis, whose organizati­on is the incarnatio­n of violence of terrorism.”

“They are America’s terrorists. 10,000 black people have been lynched in America – the KKK celebrated that. These people are not just another conservati­ve right-wing group, and Trump actually stands with them, he is emotionall­y with them,” he added.-RT
