Don't Crap Me

Several months ago, I wrote a blog, which pointed out some racial-strife concerns. I often do this because I feel strongly about this ugly American social cancer. A blog reader responded asking "Why do you (Mel) always make things out to be racial problems?"

Shall we all pull our heads out from our derrière, step back, take a deep breath and simply acknowledge a current reality. Donald Trump has amassed enough votes from Americans to become the Republican presumptive Presidential nominee. Trump has made numerous derogatory comments about minorities. Stop. If you are going to deny this then stick your head back up your derrière and have a nice life.

Just recently, Trump has doubled-down on racist statements as he suggests a sitting judge on Trump's 'university case' is 'Mexican.' The sitting judge was born in East Chicago, Indiana...he is an American. Trump says the 'Mexican' judge is making unfair rulings in this case because Trump plans to build a wall between the United States and Mexico. Sadly, we watch GOP leaders like Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell attempt to justify a continued support of Trump finding themselves in the middle of the roadway likely to become political roadkill.

Trump continues to appeal to the lesser spirit...his comments continue to be accommodated by pathetic leaders of the Republican Party. I know racism when I hear it and I will call it out!!

Finally, let me be clear: I do NOT believe that everybody voting for Trump is a bigot or racist. However, Trump's statements about Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims are ignorant and racist. Therefore, make no mistake...a vote for this man supports this man's attitudes and beliefs.
