Donald Trump, the disgraced, former President of the United States of America, is the epitome of "The White Man's," white privilege and power in America. He is a throwback to every "White Man" who terrorized, demoralized, massacred, enslaved, raped, abused, and destroyed every African, Native American and African American in Africa and America. The only terrorists in America have been white Americans. The white collective has terrorized, mutilated, massacred, burnt, lynched, burnt the properties, stolen land, burnt towns, raped and murdered communities of African Americans, and Native Americans, Chinese Americans and Japanese Americans. There will always be racism in the United States of America, as long as the only history taught in middle and high schools across the country is white history. white children are taught that only they matter, that only they are heroes, that no one else does or has done anything in America that matters, except for white Americans. Donald Trump and the rest of his white supremacist administration, his base, and voters, are the very people, the same people who raped our African and African American women and girls, took our babies from us on the slave ship, bashed their heads against the wooden planks and cast their bodies into the ocean, snatched babies, toddlers and children from their mothers and sold them to pedophiles and houses of prostitution. Donald Trump and these same white people put us in cages with no food, no water, no soap, no nothing and then sold us into a lifetime of slavery. These ignorant white people actually believe that Donald Trump cares about them and will make America white for "The White Man" again and as the President of the White People of the United States of America, if he is elected again, he damn well will do all that for "The White Man" and much, much, more.
