Fear Of Losing White Privilege Led To Trump’s Election

[guno]

She gets to the root of the truth


Toni Morrison has written a powerful essay in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election as president of the United States, and it gets right to the heart of why Trump won.

In a piece titled “Mourning For Whiteness” from the November 21 print issue of the New Yorker (published online Monday), the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist argues that Trump won due to the terror of privileged white men in the face of a rapidly diversifying country.

Except that there is no white privilege and she is an idiot race baiter.

An avowed racist writes about white people......how original and enlightening. .....

I agree. This country has used a divide and conquer strategy since 1640. White indentured servants and black slaves had common interests, and the white elite did their best to keep them from working together to overturn the preferred order of things.

Bacon's rebellion showed how powerful poor whites and poor blacks could be when they worked together.

Martin Luther King discussed this in the modern era:

If it may be said of the slavery era that the white man took the world and gave the Negro Jesus, then it may be said of the Reconstruction era that the southern aristocracy took the world and gave the poor white man Jim Crow. He gave him Jim Crow. And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the black man. And he ate Jim Crow. And when his undernourished children cried out for the necessities that his low wages could not provide, he showed them the Jim Crow signs on the buses and in the stores, on the streets and in the public buildings. And his children, too, learned to feed upon Jim Crow, their last outpost of psychological oblivion.

Thus, the threat of the free exercise of the ballot by the Negro and the white masses alike resulted in the establishment of a segregated society. They segregated southern money from the poor whites; they segregated southern mores from the rich whites; they segregated southern churches from Christianity; they segregated southern minds from honest thinking; and they segregated the Negro from everything. That’s what happened when the Negro and white masses of the South threatened to unite and build a great society: a society of justice where none would pray upon the weakness of others; a society of plenty where greed and poverty would be done away; a society of brotherhood where every man would respect the dignity and worth of human personality.

Poor whites in this country don't have much, but got damn if they don't cling to this: "We may have nothing, but at least we aren't black." A vote for Donald Trump was a vote for: "we've got to keep the negro in his place."

Funny how working hard for a living, not taking government benefits, paying my bills on time somehow becomes white privilege. I call it personal responsibility.

 

[iamwhatiseem]

Or maybe we just want a safe community that shares true equality and actually looks out for those who do the right thing rather than excuse, fund and enable those that chose to do the wrong thing.

White privilege:

At 12 years old I took on a paper route, I also mowed 2 neighbors yards, shoveled snow.
At 15 I quit the paper route and went to work for a guy who owned a body shop, after school everyday sanding cars and cleaning up the shop/tools.
This same guy also owned apartment houses where I would help him do repairs, paint etc.

I am white, 51 years old. I have been unemployed for 3 months since I was 12.
Yes...I am sooo privileged.

I don't know, it seems that black racist sexists who turned out in droves for a black man but sat a home for a white woman is where Toni would best place his efforts. Of course I'm looking at the matter as he might with such a identity oriented view. Nevertheless, Trump would not have won if Hillary had the Obama black vote!

Tim Wise is a blowhard that makes his money virtue signaling in emotional faux outrage in the hopes that the non academically minded will follow his emotion devoid of logic and facts.
