Black Community: Donald Trump and The Threat Toward Black Prosecutors Doing Their Jobs.

Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry

(ThyBlackMan.com) The fact that power is meant to be shared and every voice is meant to be heard is the beauty of democracy. The failure of democracy is not the system itself, but the people who we put into the system. It takes it certain type of person to be elected as a public servant and yet possess the character needed to ensure that political power will be rightfully shared with “others”. It takes a special person who can be given the honor of representing the people without falling into the trap of abusing that honor for personal or political gain.

Republican Rep. Matt Bliss of Minnesota is not that type of person. During the debate on a spending bill in the Minnesota state legislature, Bliss complained that the bill “brings us closer to a democracy, which you know, that’s not a good thing.” The bill under debate deals with funding for state and local elections, but also includes a number of election reforms –among them instituting an automatic voter system, as well as granting 17-year olds the ability to register to vote in upcoming elections if they will be 18 by Election Day. If or when Rep. Bliss runs for re-election, will his comments regarding democracy be the reason people vote for or against him?

Donald Trump and Black Prosecutors.

Elections are no longer a simple choice between individuals holding liberal versus conservative ideas. Unfortunately, local, state and federal races between the two major parties have become a choice between those who support democracy against those who oppose it. Despite not being re-elected as president, Donald Trump still commands the Republican Party. Under his seven years of “leadership”, the party has undeniably taken a detrimental approach to democracy. It is evident in the views held by Minnesota state lawmaker Matt Bliss. We saw it with the expulsion of Tennessee state representatives Justin Jones and Justin Pearson. In an attempt to protect the former president and his views, district attorneys have now become political targets by GOP lawmakers in addition to being targets for violence by the MAGA movement. This is particularly true for three Black top prosecutors seeking to hold the former president accountable.

It doesn’t matter to GOP lawmakers how the MAGA movement chanted “Lock Her Up” concerning Hillary Clinton, but in regards to Trump there is no willingness to accept the findings of the judicial process. In fact, members of the judicial process are attacked with petty acts of revenge and retaliation by way of proposed legislation and Congressional subpoenas by Republicans. There is currently a bill under review by the Georgia state legislature that would create a state-run board with the power to investigate and oust district attorneys. It creates a means for state legislators to have more control over district attorneys when things don’t go their way. The backdrop to this pending legislation is the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her long-running investigation into Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.

Willis is the first Black woman to lead Georgia’s largest district office, and it is hard to believe that such a state-run board will operate solely based on the will of the voters without race and political agendas becoming a factor. In response to Willis’ investigation, Trump has called her “racist” as well as a “local rogue” prosecutor who is incompetent and unable to do her job and has challenged her authority. Willis has said that she requires extensive personal security following death threats from Trump supporters. New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, both of whom are Black, received personal attacks from Trump in similar fashions. Bragg has received more than a 1,000 phone calls and emails from Trump supporters making threating and racially-charged comments.

Generally, prosecutors are among the most powerful figures in the courtroom. They are the people who will decide whether to bring charges, what charges to bring, whether to negotiate a plea bargain and what the terms of the plea will be. The government does not have the resources to try every case. Very few criminal cases will ever go to trial, therefore prosecutors wield tremendous power. Prosecutors are on the front line of justice. While they represent the government in criminal cases, it is meant for them to be immune from outside influences and pressures when making critical decisions involving their cases. It is not meant for them to be totally immune from criticism especially when it calls for true justice. Democracy depends on prosecutors properly using their power and discretion even when faced with the hostility from a former president and his passionate supporters.

Legal expert are sounding the alarm that former president Donald Trump’s racially-charged attacks and threats against Black prosecutors investigating him could create safety threats for Black prosecutors all over the country. “The danger of this rhetoric is that it encourages bad actors to do certain things,” said Melba Pearson, a civil rights and criminal law attorney and the former president of the National Black Prosecutors Association. Pearson adds, “This retort of racism specifically aimed at Black prosecutors is purposeful. This is not a brand new tactic.” Pearson said. “It’s just part of this bigger pattern of trying to attack the messenger and discredit the process to take away the culpability you face for whatever actions that you engaged in.”

You are seriously uninformed if you don’t know that Letitia James and Alvin Bragg were laser focused on destroying Trump before they were even elected. James campaigned on finding SOMETHING that would bring Trump down. They, and the likes of Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton, admitted they didn’t know what they could use against Trump but they would find it.
Maybe the problem is with black prosecutors who are driven by hatred of this one man to the neglect of every other responsibility of their job, which absolutely is the case with James and Bragg.

  Not understanding that Trump has been accused of several crimes, as well as his businesses, is the definition of being uninformed. Maybe the problem with wyte peepo that support a person like Trump, regardless of the laws he has broken over many decades, is that they are lying hypocrites that cannot abide the truth. And they would rather blame “black” people for their own failings.

A Grandmaster of American racist white supremacy, and white privilege like Donald Trump knows how to wield the centuries old western world negative connotative implication psychological conditioning long inculcated in the minds of white folk which has racially attached itself to a carefully cultivated white man’s usage of the word ” black. “This word carries numerous of meanings in the minds of his followers but most importantly signals that the black man is the “ignorant one”, “the one we picked out to pick on”,the one that we are more intelligent than”,” the one that we should insubordinate.”

I remember back in the old days or the late 80’s and early 90’s when brother Trump or better yet our Former President Trump used to hang out with many black NBA, NFL Players and when He will attend many African American events and be an invited guest member in a music video of many Rap and R&B music artist: Yet, not one single black person calling him a racist.

I also remember when He open one of his first construction companies in the east coast that he hired hundreds of African American veterans returning from the Vietnam war and how is help several African American homeless women a place to stay and pay their rent for a couple years until they got on their feet.

I also remember when he became President of the United States and within the first two years He created and push for the hiring of over 750,000 black men and black women, who got those jobs based on Trump push of demanding white business companies to hire more black people instead of illegal immigrants.

I remember when Former President Trump push to secure the border and prevent illegal immigration because He understood that with the increase in illegal immigration in America there was an increase in black unemployment and black incarcerations. Yes, my fellow African American Christians, whenever there is an increase in illegal immigrants it creates and increase in black unemployment and black incarceration.

Look around you my black brothers and sister and look in your neighborhood as well and you will see that all the businesses in your community are owned, control and operated by other races such as Untouchables, Hispanics, Asians, Arabs, Middle eastern etc.. who are democrats and liberals and those other races or better yet democrats will only hired or employed their own people. Yes, you will never see someone who looks like you (black man/woman) working in a business located in a neighborhood with people who look like you, because the Hispanics, the Asians and middle easters are more comfortable with hiring their own people and illegal immigrants than hiring a well endowed black man or big bootie black woman.

Now, Trump is not perfect but at least He tells you how he really feels about anyone and everything in your face. On the other hand, the Democrats under the ruling of Deviant Biden and Phallus lover Karmala will smile in your face, make promises to you for your vote and once they have gotten your vote, they turn around and give the Hispanics, Asians, Middle eastern, Ukrainians, Afghans and the untouchables everything they asked for and everything they did not asked for; While the black people that gave their democratic vote to this two pieces of garbage receive nothing in returned with the exception of symbolisms, prayers, a bible, a church and the face of an ugly black woman on a coin.

Indeed, Biden and Karmal speak with a fork tongue to black America and our black community are stupid that we continue to vote for a party that only gives you promises with no solutions for the future of our black Christian children. Child Molester Biden who love touching little girls on their shoulders, blowing on their hair, whispering innuendos in their tiny ears and admiring little girls crossing their legs is always quick to approved billions of dollars for Taiwan, Ukraine, Afghanistan etc.. without the approval of Congress but when African Americans asked him for reparations for slavery, His replied is always ” NO”, “LATER” LET’S THINK ABOUT IT” ” I DID NOT HEAR YOU” “I GAVE YOU JUNETEENHT”

Black America, the democrats have never done anything or gave anything that is specific and tangible to the black men, black women and black LGBT of America; but they have gave every other race in America everything that is tangible and specific to their race and community. So the next time you vote again better remember that the Democrats speak with a fork tongue.
