Trump, Racism, and Capitalism

[georgephillip]

Donald Trump was born into the ruling class.
He was a millionaire by age eight.
Racism was likely a staple of his childhood.
He gets a pass today because of his alleged "well earned wealth" when, in reality, everything he's accomplished sprang from an accident of birth.
He's the corrupt crony-capitalist who cut out the malignant middleman.

Trump, racism and capitalism

"Let there be no mistake about it. Donald Trump has the blood of all those killed and wounded in the mass shootings of the recent past on his hands, from Gilroy, Calif.; to El Paso, Texas; to Dayton, Ohio.

"And let there be no mistake about it. Trump speaks the mind of the ruling class.

"Just days after the racist mass shootings, millionaires and billionaires travelled to the Hamptons on New York’s Long Island to give him $12 million in one night at a gala celebration.

"His racism, his misogyny, his bigotry, openly spouted from his guttermouth, are part of a deliberate strategy to mobilize the like-minded racists, bigots and male chauvinists to come out and vote for him in 2020."

"Trump speaks out loud the mind of the capitalists

Trump, racism and capitalism

"A long-suppressed tape recording of a phone conversation between then President Richard Nixon and future President Ronald Reagan was recently released by the National Archives. The conversation took place in August 1971, when Reagan was governor of California.

"They spoke on the occasion of the admission of the People’s Republic of China to the U.N., after being kept out by Washington ever since the victorious Chinese Revolution of 1949.

"Reagan, referring to African members of the Security Council, said to Nixon, “Did you see those monkxxs?

"They’re not even comfortable wearing shoes.” Nixon gave a big laugh.

"Reagan knew enough not to say that in public. But today, Trump says it out loud, referring to African nations as “s—hole countries,” or saying, “Go back where you came from” to four congresswomen of color."

If you say free-markets and capitalism together, we don't have that kind of monetary policy in America. I especially don't like the use of the term capitalism by itself. We're Keynesians, duh.

Sorry, didn't read the op, I was just kind of sharing my thought on the use of the term capitalism in the thread title/article editorial.

Also, racism is just a nasty form of collectivism, sorry, I'm nitpicking here.

NEWS FLASH WHACKO!
America was a very racist nation, we owned black people.
What else can I teach you?

Agreed.

If any other neo-con was in office, maybe George would be rational, but he is as bad as the neo-cons.

Capitalism doesn't support racism, you moron......racists want big government controlling things so they can enact their racism...which is what the democrat party actually does.....

Capitalism is the cure for racism.

How many hundreds of millions of human beings has capitalism murdered, maimed, displaced, and enslaved over the past 500 years, Poppy?

Trump, racism and capitalism

"Racism has a long and bloody history in the U.S. Some say that U.S. fascism flies on the wings of racism.

"Since the first Spanish settlers arrived in the southeast in the 16th century, and then the English and Dutch came to New England at the beginning of the 17th century, racism directed against the Indigenous population has been used to justify the seizure of millions of acres of land and the murder and removal of millions of Native peoples.

"At the same time, millions of people were kidnapped from Africa and imported to be enslaved on the plantation lands of the U.S., as well as in the Caribbean Islands and Central and South America. Anti-Black racism was the justification.

"Then one-half of Mexico was seized and colonized in the southwest.

"Anti-Latinx racism was added to the racist galaxy of the corporate masters. Tens of thousands of Chinese were brought to the West Coast to build the railroads. Anti-Asian violence became commonplace."

Capitalism is the cure for racism.

Capitalism made America, and slavery made capitalism

"by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States. In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined."

Slavery Made America

I don't know if you were alive in the 1950s, I was, so I'm clear on how bigots like Fred Trump indoctrinated their children

Was Donald Trump's Father Arrested at a KKK Rally?

"The first quotation from Donald Trump ever to appear in The New York Times came on October 16, 1973. Trump was responding to charges filed by the Justice Department alleging racial bias at his family’s real-estate company. 'They are absolutely ridiculous,' Trump said of the charges. 'We have never discriminated, and we never would.'"

Blacks shouldn't have sold them.

Capitalists should have resisted the greed impulse:

"Economic Causes of the War

"No one seriously doubts that the enormous economic stake the South had in its slave labor force was a major factor in the sectional disputes that erupted in the middle of the nineteenth century.

"Figure 1 plots the total value of all slaves in the United States from 1805 to 1860.

"In 1805 there were just over one million slaves worth about $300 million; fifty-five years later there were four million slaves worth close to $3 billion.

"In the 11 states that eventually formed the Confederacy, four out of ten people were slaves in 1860, and these people accounted for more than half the agricultural labor in those states."
