(ThyBlackMan.com) The presidential election has clearly opened up a lot of ugly truths about many people black, white, latino, asian. It’s also pointing to the fact that in all honesty it really has nothing to do with politics. Politics do play a role, but it’s not the main element of the conversation and while many of us are still trying to recover from the results of the election we need to remember that it’s not about Democrats and Republicans, but now we actually view the world from two different sides.
This is not about a win or lose contest, but Hillary supporters believe in a diverse America where racial and ethnic differ and that where you were born was not an issue. Hillary Clinton’s campaign was one of inclusion, unity, and interracial and sexual preference acceptance. Michelle Obama made her motto when Donald Trump made his mark with unsavory comments about everyone from athletes to media outlets that when someone wanted to go low we go high.
The fact that the First Lady made that one of the strong points of Clinton’s campaign it kept a lot of the positive traits on people’s minds. Trump supporters are another story they are a kind that believes in a selective kind of America that’s mostly white, straight, and Christian. Donald Trump has made no qualms about it either which showed him to be someone who preyed on people through fear, intimidation and manipulation.
This is what his followers endorsed both politically and civilian. They relate to the exclusion of certain ethnic groups such as Mexicans and even those who are a certain religion like Muslims. Rep. Donald Trump basically used this rhetoric to convince the masses the ills of America, but what made little sense to someone with at least logical intelligence to know that Trump spoke about things that he’s never experienced and only going by the information his paid staffers provide to him via the newspapers and internet.
Most of the sexist and racist rhetoric that Rep. Donald Trump spewed during the campaign is proof positive of the validation of Trump and his followers racist nature. This has also endorsed the obscentity laced speeches and tweets he made from his Twitter account over a course of a year to where it was all published when the New York Times took out a two page spread of all of Trump’s insults and degrading comments.
What also needs to be possibly considered is investigating into Trump rigging the election and making it sound as if someone else was responsible for it. What many people didn’t catch is how Donald Trump got away with this and actually gave himself away admitting the system was rigged yet nobody caught this little gaffe. Americans know there’s a lot of weak points with Trump that’s turning up one’s senses to something suspicious. Either way America needs to take a bigger role in the political system and vote.
