“Call the ‘Alt-Right’ Movement What It Is: Racist as Hell [RollingStone]

Calling these people anything less than vile racists is morally reprehensible and intellectually fraudulent!

 

To live in modern-day America is to live in a country undeniably affected by racism – mysteriously, without any racists. For instance, even after calling Mexicans rapists, retweeting memes from white-supremacist message boards and saying Muslims should be banned from entering the country, Donald Trump says he’s not racist.

 

Former KKK leader David Duke – an authority on this subject, if there ever was one – agrees. Many of the Republican nominee’s other fellow party members have also enforced the idea that he’s not racist, even if they must contradict themselves in doing so:

 

We live in a society in which damn near nothing can pass the bar for racism. At the same time the Republican Party has ushered in an era of socially regressive leaders like Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Carly Fiorina, we’re increasingly finding ourselves stuck in debates over whether statements or people are “really” racist. At her Reno, Nevada, rally Thursday, Hillary Clinton aimed to put an end to that pointless train of thought by attaching Trump to a movement that’s clearly and unrepentantly racist.”

Support and Vote Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine and Elect a Democratic Controlled House and Senate November 8, 2016.

Federal Appeals Court Judges for the D.C. Circuit forgot about the 13th Amendment!

In ruling against President Obama’s “recess appointments” that contradicts 150 years of practice by Republican and Democratic Administrations; Federal Circuit Court Judges; David B. Sentelle, Karen LeCraft Henderson and Thomas B. Griffith must have missed;

 

Abraham Lincoln’s 13^th Amendment to the Constitution!

 

But why should we be surprised?

 

Frederick Douglass gave us the answer on September 25 1883, as to why Republican Legislators would be so unrelenting on President Obama!

    

“Though the colored man is no longer subject to barter and sale, he is surrounded by an adverse settlement which fetters all his movements. In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress.

             

If he comes in ignorance, rags and wretchedness he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome; but if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence.” [Frederick Douglass, September 25 1883]

The Negro, even if he is President and has done what his predecessors have, is still challenged by some whites!

Judges of the U.S. Court of appeals for the D.C. Circuit; Thomas B. Griffith, Karen LeCraft Henderson and David B. Sentelle; ruled;

 

That President Obama violated the Constitution when he made three recess appointments to the National Labor Board in January of 2012. The three federal judges who issued the ruling today, January 25, 2013 are all Republican appointees. The decision was written by David B. Sentelle, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan who is chief judge of the federal appellate court in Washington D.C.

 

This decision is unprecedented and contradicts One Hundred and Fifty [150] years of practice by Republican and Democratic Administrations. The only difference is that Obama’s predecessors were “all” white and he, Obama, is “Half-White.”

 

We have come a long way out of the pit of 2008 that the Bush Administration had tossed us into, however, we still have surmountable problems and a long way to recover from how far we fell. The stock market closed this week at a five year high; manufacturing are progressing and the unemployment is getting better, but overall, we have to continue to work together if we are going to see the “mountain top” again!
