SO WHAT IF DONALD TRUMP IS A RACIST?

Icheoku says please give me a break; who is not a racist in America? Which white skinned American, majority of who are descendants of slave owners including Hollywood Ben Affleck, is not a racist?  Since the last time Icheoku checked, a racist is defined as "a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another" and so now please someone show Icheoku that pale skinned American who does not believe in the white privilege? By extension, which of these candidates running for the presidency of the United States of America lives in a black neighborhood or black community? How many of them attend black churches? How many of their children go to black school or one in black neighborhood? How many of them even have a black friend?

Bill Clinton did not marry a black woman? Bill Clinton also, in his numerous dalliance, did not have sex with any of that woman who is black? Ditto Hillary Clinton, who none of her personal assistants is black and their daughter Chelsea did not marry a black man? In the neighborhood where they live and possibly the church they attend, there possibly does not a black person reside nor attend? Their antecedents, especially with Jesse Jackson during his run for the presidency in 1988 as well as Barack Obama's 2008 run did not establish their truly being in bed with black people. How many black friends do they even have, speaking about a white couple that loves black people dearly and are not racists? Who increased incarceration of blacks in America, Bill Clinton. Ditto the other guys in the other party as well as Hillary's challenger Bernie Sanders. But suddenly it is election season and Hillary is speaking and talking black, visiting Flint in solidarity with black folks being poisoned with lead; as well as visiting Al Sharpton and black churches to show her blackness. Icheoku says only the gullible is deceived and will be deceived. 

This responds to numerous inquiries by various people as to why Icheoku is supporting Donald Trump despite all the bomb-throwing, somewhat racially tinged rhetorics associated with him during this election cycle. Icheoku is emphatic there are two types of white people - those who show you their teeth in pretentious smile that they love you, only to drive the knife right through into your heart once you turn your back; and those who will tell you upfront that they are more comfortable with people who look like them and share their values. Any other thing in between is rare. So among all the racist white people running to succeed the nigger currently in a "hostile occupation" of their White House, Donald Trump does it for Icheoku, because he is at least honest and upfront with his feelings towards people who do not look like him nor share his white supremacy values. 

A popular aphorism has it that the devil one knows is always better than the devil lurking in the garb of an angel, only to strike you dead at any slightest opportunity. The worst enemy anyone could have is that enemy who is pretending to be a friend - the Brutus of this world. Julius Ceasar was stabbed severally but it was only the stab by Brutus that Caesar regretted with his now famous quote 'Et tu Brute?" Nigeria's late MKO Abiola once said that "with a friend like IBB no one needs an enemy." So it is not those already identified enemies which one is already guarded and protected against that constitute the problem; nope, it is those enemies pretending to be friends, who have access to one's inner recesses, while plotting how to drive that dagger right through underneath the rib cage. Icheoku listens to Rush Limbaugh too; another no go area for pretentious people, who brand him a racist; while disregarding their own appalling resume on race relationship in America. The wise listens to his enemy to know what the attack plans or flange of attack will be and then hone in his defenses accordingly. 

Icheoku says but for the upcoming election, Hillary Clinton as well as Bernie Sanders would not have cared enough to give a hoot about the abject poverty bedeviling millions of black Americans in America. It is not just about the photo-op which Flint Michigan provided this two candidates as caring, they should as a matter of seriousness, travel through American inner cities and communities of color to witness first hand the level of poverty in which fellow Americans are living which even some poverty-stricken third world countries cannot be proud of. But this is America, the food basket of the world and the wealthiest nation on earth, yet some of her people are suffering abject poverty simply because the color of their skin is somewhat different and below par. Anyway, the campaign season is full stream and hopefully Donald Trump will clinch the Republican Party's nomination and go ahead to win the presidency of America. Then and after then will  Icheoku revisit his suitability for president of the United States of America, if need be; but please give Icheoku a break he is a racist because all of them are.
