IS DONNIE LYSOL TRYING TO POISON AMERICA BECAUSE HE'S BROKE?

IS DONNIE LYSOL TRYING TO POISON AMERICA BECAUSE HE'S BROKE? 

THAT EXPLAINS WHY HE'S HIDING HIS TAXES AND HE'S SO DESPERATE TO REOPEN THE ECONOMY HE'S WILLING TO POISON AMERICA AND USE OUR CHILDREN AS GUINEA PIGS 

Would Trump supporters be insisting that they reopen the schools during a Smallpox pandemic? I don't think so. But the hordes of armed Trump supporters who have chosen to follow Donald Trump's prescription to reopen our schools and businesses prematurely over the advice of our medical professionals are clearly demonstrating that they are mindless idiots willing to place their familys' lives in jeopardy in order to follow a greedy, desperate, and unstable man.
.
Trump doesn't care about either America, or his supporters. All Donnie Lysol cares about is his own personal finances and being re-elected in November. Irrefutable evidence of that is he's tying to put the people’s children at risk as guinea pigs in an experiment on the contagion of the Coronavirus. The reason that is he's losing over a million dollars a  day in his personal businesses due to the national shutdown. In addition, the impact of the shutdown on the overall economy can cause him to lose the November election, and since being President is the only thing keeping him out of prison, Trump doesn't give a damn about America’s children.
.
Donald Trump is proving with his every act that he's only concerned about one thing - what he’s always concerned about – Donald Trump. That’s why he’s so desperate that he’s trying to get America to ingest Lysol. That alone represents the desperation of an absolute lunatic. But Trump's willing to do ANYTHING to improve his personal situation, including killing a few thousand American citizens. He's also made the completely self-serving decision to place lives of West Point graduates in jeopardy, just so he can give a speech. But just as horrifying as the acts themselves is the fact at this post Trump seems to have lost the simple judgment to even try to hide his lack of concern for the American people. The following may explain the reason why.
.
Here’s what Donald Trump had to say in a private conference call with the nation's governors:
.
“Trump told governors during a teleconference earlier Monday they should ‘seriously consider’ reopening their schools and CONFIRM his suggestion at the evening news conference, noting the virus doesn't impact young people as badly. . . “I think it would be a good thing. Because as you see coming in terms of what this vicious virus goes after, young people seem to do very well. Young people seem to do very well. So, I know that there are some governors that aren't necessarily ready to open up states, but they may be ready to open up school systems." In other words, you don't have to risk the entire state, just a few children.
.
We could go into Trump's dangerous state of mind in far more detail and utilize public information to analyze his flawed character and deteriorating cognitive condition, but we've found that when writing online, in many cases, less can often be more. So we simply urge you to consider the amount of stress that must currently be on a personality who's inherited or swindled (as a result of his inheritence) everything he's ever had in life, and who's never had to develop any character or intellect to succeed. As a result, he's always felt isolated, insecure, and that he had to prove - to himself and the world - that he's so reviled because he's "a stable genius". But now the entire façade that he's based his life upon is all falling apart - his inherited fortune is being ravaged, his poor judgment and limited intellect is being revealed, and it's becoming more clear every day that he's not only not "a stable genius", but is indeed, an unstable idiot. And then add to that the fact that the entire world not only hates his guts, but is laughing at his gross incompetence and bungling failure as a human being. So as a result of becoming President, he can't even fail in private.
.
That would be a heavy load for any man to bear, but for a man with the limited intellectual resources of Trump, it's got to be devastating, and their are many rumors of a meltdown taking place. So suffice it to say, America - and indeed, the world - have a ticking time bomb on it's hands, and there's undoubtedly going to be much more drama as Americans continue to die of the virus, the economy continues to deteriorate, and the November election looms ever closer over the landscape.

A FORMAL COMPLAINT OF POLICE BRUTALITY TO CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
.
A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL XAVIER BECERRA 
.
POLICE BRUTALITY

.
This cell  phone video shows a police officer, Brian Fowell, in Rancho Cordova, California, slamming a 14-year-old child, Elijah Tufono's, face and body into the pavement, and then punching him in the head repeatedly, after accusing him of being in possession of a cigar. The child has a heart condition, has never been in any trouble, and was later released without being charged with a crime.
.
This is a perfect example of how America is being converted into Trumpworld. The Rancho Cordova police department is already trying to downplay and justify this cop’s actions, so we need to stay on top of this situation. This fascist cop needs to be immediately fired and charged with a felony. We have enough problems in the community without being forced to pay the salaries of goons who think they have free rein to brutalize Black children on a whim.
.
Far too many of these cops are taking Trump’s illegal, un-American, and fascistic advice to heart when he told the cops of this land to rough people up during arrests. Trump has never been known for being a deep thinker, and in this case what he’s failing to consider is, simply being arrested doesn’t mean that the person is guilty of a crime. Trump is living by Russian standards, not America’s - or at least, what we profess to be American standards of justice - but he doesn't seem to know the difference, so it's up to the people to educate him, and his dimwitted followers, what it means to live under a Constitution.
.
TRUMP TELLS COPS THEY SHOULD ROUGH PEOPLE UP MORE DURING ARRESTS
.
“Please, don’t be too nice,” he said, to laughter from the crowd.

It is clear that the police department has already gone into full damage control. Sgt. Tess Deterding, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office, stated the following:
.
The officer was on patrol in the area of Mills Station Road and Mather Field Road because of complaints of hand-to-hand sales of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs to minors. “The deputy saw what ‘he believed to be a hand-to-hand exchange’ between an adult and juvenile. As the deputy turned around, he lost sight of the adult, who left the area. When the deputy approached the juvenile, the juvenile was uncooperative and refused to give the deputy basic identifying information”. Thereafter, the officer tried to detain Tufono and he was “physically resistive”, and that led to the beating.
.
In plain English, the spokesperson is saying the officer was patrolling the area due to unspecified public complaints. When the deputy saw what he ‘assumed’ was an exchange between an adult and a juvenile he turned around, but he didn’t keep track of the adult - who should have been the prime suspect. So he approached the child. The child refused to give him any identifying information, which any inexperienced child might do – kids tend not to carry ID. In response the officer tried to arrest him, but the child was “physically resistive” (resistive, how?), and that led to the a full-grown man's brutal abuse of a child one-third his size over the unchildlike possession of a cigar. The child was never charged with a crime.
.
This cop not only followed Trumps advice, but he looked like he was getting far too much pleasure out of abusing this child. So we know without a doubt that if he's allowed to get away with this atrocity with impunity, it's not likely to be the last time he'll indulge in this kind of behavior. In fact, he might even find a way to justify killing a Black person in the future - and God forbid that he should run across a Black child with an open container! So, enough is enough. We must make this moment of personal joy for this officer be a moment that will define the rest of his life.
.
The community must stay on top of this, and all such matters, and we must remain focused on this particular incident until this rogue cop is out of a job and behind bars. It's important for the community to make an example of this brute. We've got to make this bully a poster child for every rogue cop in the country who might even consider committing a crime of brutality against one of our children. We must make it abundantly clear that wearing a badge doesn't make a person a judge, jury, and executioner, and it's important that we drive that point home with perfect clarity. That's the one, and only way, we can protect our children, and keep them safe from abusive predators with a badge.
.
So we've got to make it abundantly clear to these people that their badge doesn't represent a hunting license, and that going into law enforcement is not an avenue designed to vent their bigotry with impunity.

GETTING RID OF DONALD TRUMP MUST BECOME A NATIONAL PRIORITY

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
.
GETTING RID OF DONALD TRUMP MUST BECOME A NATIONAL PRIORITY

.
Donald Trump Has Proven To Be Much More Incompetent Than Even His Most Severe Critics Recognized
.
Donald Trump is an idiot, and getting rid of that guy must be considered a matter of national survival. At first many of us thought that he was merely clueless and he didn’t realize just how inept he really was, but it is now becoming increasingly clear that he not only knows that he’s in over his head, but due to his ego, he’s prepared to do absolutely ANYTHING to prevent his incompetence from becoming common knowledge. So with Trump it’s like having a pouting and insecure 8-year-old in the White House. While many of us knew from the very first that he was grossly incompetent, at this point he's even scaring his most severe critics, because it’s now beginning to sink in just how profoundly stupid he really is. And between his idiocy, his arrogance, and his desperation to save face, the man is a threat to the entire world.
.
And what makes things even worse is, due to a combination of his huge ego and gross insecurity he can’t stand to have anyone in his circle who outshines him. That limits him to having to dig to the very bottom of the barrel to staff his administration. As a result, at a time like this when we’re in the midst of a national emergency, there’s no one around to steer the ship. We’re stuck with a bridge full of idiots. So we’re in deep, deep, trouble.
.
During times like these a normal president would be leaving no stone unturned to get the very best advice and enlisting all of the talent he could muster to save the American people, but not Trump. Trump considers this a personal emergency which threatens to reveal what he’s been trying to hide his entire life – his gross ineptitude. So instead of hiring anyone who can help him save the American people, he’s firing everyone whose actions could reveal his gross incompetence during the initial weeks and months of this crisis.
.
That’s Trump’s mode of operation. That’s why he’s had such a huge turnover in his administration, because Trump’s world is not about competence and saving the nation, it’s about hiding his incompetence and protecting his personal image. That's also why the more intelligent an individual is, the lesser chance they have of coexisting in Trump's orbit, and everyone who leaves is always replaced by someone of lesser quality. Trump cannot stand competence, because it's a constant reminder of his own incompetence. Trump views competence in others as a disrespectful affront to himself as a person. He's so insecure that he actually resents intelligence.

.
But ignorance aside, there’s another reason that Trump is such a horrible leader - he’s both selfish and has a lack of empathy for others. He’s so consumed by the effort of protecting his own interests that he has neither the time, nor inclination, to consider anyone else. That explains why he didn’t swing into action to protect America when he first became aware of the Coronavirus in January of 2020.
.
Like most things Trump has benefited from throughout his life, he’s been riding high on the crest of a thriving economy that he inherited from President Obama. He didn’t want to threaten that because he'd claimed it as his own, and that’s all he has to justify his 2020 re-election. So from his point of view, what’s the lives of a few thousand people compared to the danger of disturbing the stock market and threatening his re-election? Thus, he suggested allowing the Coronavirus to wash over the nation and depending on effect “mass immunity” to combat the disease. That explains his comment that “It’ll go away like magic.”
.
Trump’s lack of concern for the people and tendency to put his interests ahead of the people is also revealed in his rush to reopen the nation. With Trumps hotels and golf resorts closed down he’s losing millions of dollars during the Coronavirus shutdown, and the shutdown is also devastating the economy that he was counting on to help him be re-elected, so Trump wants the shutdown to come to an end, and as far as he's concerned, to hell with how many American lives it places in jeopardy. Because in his own words, "We don't want the cure to be worse than the problem", and certainly losing a few thousand American lives is nowhere near as bad as the rich losing millions of dollars in the stock market - right? 
.

.
The New York Times recently reported, “Late last month, Mr. Trump’s representatives contacted their relationship managers in Deutsche Bank’s New York private-banking division, which caters to wealthy customers. They wanted to discuss the possibility of delaying payments on some of the hundreds of millions of dollars of outstanding loans that the Trump Organization has from the bank, according to a person briefed on the talks. The discussions are continuing.” So the national shutdown is hitting Trump directly in the pocket, and he lacks both the character, and maturity, to separate his personal interests from what’s in the best interest of the American people. So again, we’re in big, big trouble.
.
And we must also remember that Donald Trump is the ultimate loser – he didn’t even win the presidency, Hillary lost it. Trump just happened to be standing in the wings - it could have just as easily been Mr. Magoo.  And he’s never had a friend in his life. No one can stand to be around him and his constant need to prove himself. He was even an outcast among the movers and shakers in New York; the banks wouldn't have anything to do with him, and he’s filed bankruptcy six times, so again, America is in very shaky hands.
.
Trump has always been the kid looking in through the window that nobody would let in – the ultimate outcast. The reason for that is his father gave him everything, so he never had to develop the character, social skills, or intellect to succeed among others. Everything he’s ever gotten has been given to him, or he obtained through lying and deceit. 
.
Now Trump's smearing America with that very same image among world leaders – the bratty rich kid who no one either likes, or want to be around. So in just a mere three years Trump’s managed to drag America down from a position of honor and respect around the world, to being viewed as a nation of classless and unsophisticated Hillbillies. It’s a sad state of affairs, and one of the lowest periods in the history of the United States. But we can't expect anything more from Dubious Donnie - if his daddy hadn’t been rich, he’d be homeless.

BERNIE SANDERS IS SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
.
BERNIE SANDERS IS SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS


In spite of the fact that Bernie doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the nomination, instead of coming to help support the effort to get rid of Trump - a man who is so corrupt and delusional that he approached a German firm trying to buy the EXCLUSIVE rights to a cure to a world pandemic - Bernie is stomping his feet and complaining that he's the victim of voter suppression. How is that helping the people? That's fanaticism and an overwhelming interest in self.
.
I previously supported Bernie, but during this national emergency (Trump), Bernie needs to take his ass home and pout in private - THAT'S what's in the interest of the American people. If Bernie can't see that, everything else he's spewing is just political rhetoric designed to promote his own interests.
.
Our primary objective is to get Trump’s ass out of office, and Bernie staying in the race and promising “pie in the sky” and free unicorn rides is not going to accomplish that objective. If Bernie really cared about the American people and all of the rhetoric he’s spewing, he’d stop being so divisive and place the interest of the American people above his hurt feelings and wounded ego.
.
That’s why about a month ago I turned my back on decades of support for Bernie. I believe in following truth wherever it leads and regardless of who’s ox it gores. So after taking a fresh look at Bernie, I began to recognize that demagogues aren't new in American politics, and we've got to learn to spot them, regardless to how painful it is to accept. After all, I owe my greatest loyalty to myself.

.
BERNIE SANDERS VERSUS JOE BIDEN AS A CURE FOR THE DONALD TRUMP VIRUS

Now that Bernie Sanders is losing in the primaries he’s showing his true colors. We're beginning to see, just like with most politicians, that it's all about him, not the country. Let's be real. While we all want to believe that our latest object of political affection is different, it's not patriotism or the need to do us a favor that motivates most politicians, it's ambition and self-interest, and Bernie is revealing himself to be no different. So as a person who has admired Bernie for decades and supported him in 2016, I'm greatly disappointed with his behavior. And being a person who tends not to become fanatical over any politician, I have no problem in doing a complete reassessment of who he actually is based on the new evidence, and what I see, I'm not the least bit happy with.
.
I don't think Joe Biden would be throwing a tantrum like Bernie is if he were losing the primaries. If Biden lost, he'd simply walk away and then return to support the team, because that's his nature, and his ego is not involved. That alone speaks volumes about the relative character of the two candidates, and it perfectly explains something that I've wondered about quite a bit in the past - why does Bernie draw so many fanatics? Now I know - because
Bernie is fanatical himself. 
.
It was some of his more fanatical supporters that caused me to recognize that fact about Bernie. Why does he draw such people, so many "Bernie bros"? Many of them are the flipside of a large number of Trump supporters - mindless zombies. So in spite of my previous support and continuing admiration of many of Bernie’s political ideals, I’ve always felt uneasy over being aligned with such fanatics, because I consider all manner of fanaticism based on mindless emotion rather than objective thought, and such people render themselves susceptible to being herded like cattle. That's why even though I'm very spiritual and a firm believer in God, I'm totally against ALL religions, because God gave us a mind, but it was man who gave us religion, in order make us easier to manipulate, and the same is true of political alignments. It's merely a secular form of religion, but just as fanatical. 
.
Bernie tends to believe that only his vision of reality counts, and whether or not he can be successful in promoting that vision is secondary. From Bernie’s perspective, it’s only fighting the good fight that counts, and the good fight is an end in itself. That's fanaticism. That's why he's been so isolated over the years in congress, and so ineffective. He’s a “pie in the sky” kind of guy. But life doesn’t work that way - it’s fighting the WINNING fight that counts. Life is not about all or nothing; life is about achieving your goals incrementally and gradually moving towards your ultimate objective. If Bernie hasn’t learned that simple lesson in life at his age, he’s not equipped to be president. So while he's the flipside of the political coin, and what motivates him may be different, his thinking is just like Trump's. And while, unlike Trump, Bernie's heart may be in the right place, his mind is lagging far behind.
.
As Sen. Elizabeth Warren pointed out, “This crisis demands more than a senator who has good ideas”, but Bernie’s “30-year track record shows he consistently calls for things he fails to get done and consistently opposes things he nevertheless fails to stop.” According to Congress.gov, in Bernie’s 30 years in congress he has been the lead sponsor in 422 bills, and only three of them have become law – and of them, two was to name post offices. So what is there to be so fanatical about? 

A primary example of the problem I have with some of Bernie's supporters is highlighted by those who say, “Bernie or Bust”. That alone is the height of hypocrisy and betrays the built-in bullshit of their philosophy. While they claim that they’re dedicated to moving society forward out of one side of their mouth, they’re also saying that if we don’t allow them to force their will down our throats, they're prepared to sit back and allow an aspiring dictator to win the election as punishment out of the other. That clearly demonstrates that their top priority is not the betterment of society, but to be dictators themselves – and Bernie obviously feels the same way, since he’s determined to stay in the race and continue to divide the Democratic effort in spite of the fact that he has next to no chance of winning the nomination. He's a professional foot-stomper and spoiler. That's why he has no fans in congress.
.
That should cause any thinking person to ask themselves whether Bernie is sincere in his pursuit of change, or is it just an attention-getting ploy to set himself apart?  It’s very important to look beyond what people say, and watch what they do, and it's equally important to maintain an objective state of mind and not allow yourself to become fanatical over any politician, regardless of who it is. It's a tendency to think like Bernie by many Black people that's served to hold the Black community down. We can only move forward through careful and efficient thinking, not through blind anger and raw emotion. That kind of behavior only serves to turn off potential allies. That's how Bernie lost me.
.
So I have  a simple response to Sanders supporters who claim that Joe Biden is a loser - if Biden is a loser, no Democrat can win. While until now, I've always admired Bernie (although, again, I’m currently rethinking that), I’m a realist, and his socialist tag means that I would have to place my bet on the fact that undereducated Americans - who have been brainwashed all of their lives by the corporate establishment to believe that socialism and communism are one - will have the intelligence to overcome that brainwashing, and I'm not willing to make that bet.
.
Anyone who has spent any time at all online have undoubtedly come across
people who consider the most scornful thing they can call you is not a murderer, or a rapist, but a Marxist. Many of these low-information people hate anyone tagged as a socialist with the passion of a religious conviction,  even though many of them don't even know what a Democratic socialist is. So my life experience has taught me to never bet on the intelligence of such people. If the American people were intelligent, we wouldn't currently have an idiot married to an illegal stripper and porn model living in the White House.
.
So this election is not about who's philosophy is most progressive, but who would be the best candidate to get Trump out of office. And in that regard, Hillary Clinton clearly demonstrated in 2016 that it doesn't matter how many enthusiastic fans you have in the big cities; what’s more significant is how many enemies you have in the boonies. The system was setup that way with the creation of the electoral college to protect the slave states. That's why in spite of the fact that Hillary won 3 million more votes, she still lost to Trump. The result of that election tells me one thing - Bernie is far too much of a gamble to bet on in an election that can determine whether or not America remains a democracy. He's even been a loser in congress for decades, and now he's a loser in the primaries. So the bottom line is, how badly do we want Trump out of office? If we fail to accomplish that, all of our other issues are meaningless, regardless of how high-falutin our ideals.
.
But in spite of the fact that Bernie doesn't have a chance in hell of winning the nomination, instead of coming to help support the effort to get rid of a man who is so corrupt and delusional that he approached a firm in Germany trying to buy the EXCLUSIVE rights to a cure for a world pandemic, Bernie is stomping his feet and complaining that he's the victim of voter suppression. How is that helping the people? That's fanaticism and an overwhelming interest in self. I previously supported Bernie, but during this national emergency (Trump), Bernie needs to take his ass home and pout in private - THAT'S what's in the interest of the American people. If Bernie can't see that, everything else he's spewing is just political rhetoric designed to promote his own interests. Demagogues aren't new in American politics, and we've got to learn to spot them.
.
Thus, while Joe Biden may not be as progressive as many of us would like to see in a candidate, for just that reason, he is undoubtedly the most acceptable candidate to the largest number of people – including disillusioned Trump voters who would never vote for a socialist. That’s why Trump is so afraid of him that he got himself impeached trying to smear him, and that alone speaks volumes. Trump knows the source of his biggest threat. That's why he's all but campaigning for Bernie. So no matter how tantalizing Bernie's vision of "pie in the sky" and free unicorn rides are to the imagination, if we want Trump out of office we’re going to have rely on clear thinking and common sense, not the pursuit of unfulfillable promises and emotional fanaticism. If we fail to recognize that simple fact, we might as well run Farrakhan.

NOW TRUMP IS TRYING TO PIMP JESUS

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY

NOW TRUMP IS TRYING TO PIMP JESUS 
.
MORE THAN 800 THOUSAND DOCTORS TELL TRUMP TO LET THE EXPERTS DECIDE WHEN IT’S SAFE TO REOPEN BUSINESSES


Trump claims that he wants the churches full and the country back in business by Easter Sunday. But the truth is, Trump doesn’t care anything about the churches, or Easter Sunday, he doesn’t even go to church. What Trump is actually concerned about is all the money he’s losing as a result of his resorts and hotels being under shut-down, and the impact that the hit on the economy is having on his chances of being re-elected. So now, all of a sudden, he’s found Jesus.
.
The Guardian reported, "As US coronavirus cases and deaths continued to soar, the president said on Tuesday he wanted to reopen “large sections of the country” by Easter Sunday – 12 April – when there would be “packed churches all over our country".
.
Trump undoubtedly picked Easter Sunday as a target date to reopen the
JERRY FALWELL JR.
country in order to get Evangelical support. The ploy has obviously worked with some of Trump's more rabid Evangelical supporters. Jerry Falwell Jr. has announced that Liberty University, which he heads, will reopen. But with thousands, and possibly millions, of lives at stake, many Christians are seeing through his ploy and recognizing that God's most precious gift to humanity was common sense.

.
The Guardian quoted pastor and activist, the Rev William J Barber II, as saying, “It is the height of hypocrisy for Trump to suggest that Easter is a time to defy public health recommendations and ‘reopen’ America. Jesus challenged oppression and cared for the poor, while Trump ignored the pandemic of poverty and tragically dismissed intelligence about the coronavirus. We need a resurrection of Jesus’s concern for the most vulnerable, not a capitulation to corporate greed that could cost millions of lives.”
.
But according to the Washington Post, “six of Trump’s top seven revenue-producing clubs and hotels, bringing in about $174 million total per year, according to Trump’s most recent financial disclosures”, are shut down. “That works out to $478,000 per day — revenue that is likely to be sharply reduced with the clubs shuttered. The disclosures provide self-reported revenue figures but not profits.”
.
So at first, the Republicans wrote the bailout bill in secret, and wrote it in a way where Trump was given $500 billion to pass out any way he liked – and in secret. But the Democrats weren’t having that. That’s why Mitch McConnell tried to complain that the Democrats were obstructing money going out to the American people. He was lying, of course. What the Democrats actually did was prevented Trump from getting a slush fund for him and his cronies to divide up.
.
So it's no wonder Trump doesn’t care if a few people have to die for him to reopen business. To Hell with the people, he’s losing money – and the House saw to it that his businesses (and the businesses of anyone in his administration) are banned from getting any money from the bailout. But now that he’s signed the bill, he had his lawyers write a letter saying that they’re not taking that prohibition seriously. So congress just might have to impeach him again, and this time send his ass to jail. The man is selfish, greedy, and as ignorant as they come.

WHY DO A HANDFUL OF BLACK PEOPLE LOVE AND DEFEND WHITE BIGOTRY?

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

WHY DO A HANDFUL OF BLACK PEOPLE LOVE AND DEFEND WHITE BIGOTRY?
.
THE WHITE IDOLATRY COMPLEX

.
My educational background is in psychology, so ever since Donald Trump has been in office I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about Black conservatives, or what I call Black bigot huggers. While these people are relatively rare among Black people, I’ve run across a significant number of them online. Some are high-profile, like Ben Carson, “Diamond and Silk”, and Candace Owens, and others are more obscure, like a gentleman I ran across by the name of CJ Goode III, but what they all have in common is a rabid devotion to White bigots.
.
At one point I thought their dysfunction was the result of a traumatic experience in their lives, but that explanation didn’t hold up, because most Black people have endured negative experiences in life, yet it didn’t disrupt their capacity for logical thought and simple common sense. So I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s a mental illness. They were born that way, and I call their pathology “The White Idolatry Complex”.

Most Black people know by nature that White bigots suffer from a severe insecurity which causes them to desperately embrace a delusion of superiority in order to comfort their lack of self-esteem, so recognizing that fact, the average Black person simply work around them, much like when they’re dealing with a child. But not Black bigot huggers. Bigot huggers not only accept a bigot’s delusion of grandeur, but encourages it, and then they become hostile with any other Black person who refuses to join them in their idiocy, as though refusing to kiss the White man’s ass is an arrogant act of unholy heresy.

The primary reason I concluded that such people are born with a mental disorder is because we can see signs of the tendency in some children before they know anything about racism and bigotry. We’ve all known that child in school who would always suck-up to the teacher and stay after class to spit-shine the blackboard of a teacher that everyone else in the class hated. Then on the playground he would brag, “Mr. Cummings is mean to you guys, but he likes me.” That’s your future bigot hugger.
.
Now, we were all taught to be conservative as children, because we lacked experience and judgment, so we were taught to rely on the guidance of adults to do our thinking for us for our own protection. But as most of us gained intellectual maturity, we began to think for ourselves and became independent and progressives thinkers. But bigot huggers never mature to that point, so all of their lives they continue to spit-shine Mr. Cummings’ Blackboard. But later, Mr. Cummings is replaced by Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Donald Trump, or their local preacher, and they never learn to think for themselves.
.
The primary reason for that is they’re born weak-minded and with a lack of self-esteem, so they don’t have the confidence to think for themselves. As a result, they remain intellectual children all of their lives - and just like actual children, they yearn for that pat on the head and nod of approval from those they consider authority figures, because they rely on stronger personalities as an extension of themselves. So they literally need these people to make themselves whole, to replace that part of their self-reliance and sense of competence that’s missing in their own character. That explains why they become so hostile when we refuse to join them in their ass-kissing festival. When we’re critical of their heroes, they consider it a personal attack on themselves.
.
Deep inside, these people know there’s a flaw in their character, because they’ve always felt insecure and they’ve spent their entire lives trying to avoid thinking about it. So that too contributes to why Black conservatives are invariably so hostile. When they’re confronted by other Blacks regarding their political beliefs, they’re forced to confront their insecurities, and they don’t appreciate that worth a damn. So in response, they'll begin to spew bigoted and stereotypical claims about the thinking of normal Black people, and then use White propaganda to spew what it means to be a "true American", and then they erect a false façade of superiority and walk away claiming that it’s the rest of the world that’s flawed. So such people are completely delusional. Much like Trump, they use self-delusion as a defense mechanism that allows them to live with themselves.


IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO BE MORE IGNORANT, OR A BIGGER UNCLE TOM THAN THE ONE BELOW?

I know, folks, it looks like a Saturday Night Live skit, but it’s REAL! How is it possible for the Black community to produce an idiot like this!!!? They couldn’t give me $300 million to put out a video like this. This bigot-huggin’ lunatic is a perfect example of Donald Trump's view of a Black man's place - orgasmic over a pat on the head, and goofy and ignorant as hell. This guy even LOOKS like an Uncle Tom. This grinnin’-ass cotton seed makes Stepin Fetchit look like a Black Panther. This is the perfect personification of a Black conservative. How in the hell can an idiot like this POSSIBLY have any friends? And as for my contention that it's a mental disorder, I rest my case.
