The following is a response to a comment made on Yahoo from an article criticizing Donald Trump for his trip to meet with the Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
REPLY TO ERNEST
Ernest writes;
HERE IS WHAT MY WHITE FRIENDS HAVE TO REALIZE IN AMERICA TODAY:
You have to realize that The United States is on the brinks of a civil war. You have to understand that the rhetoric that Mr. Trump speaks only adds fuel to that fire from all groups of people. People are already feeling mistreated in America and whites only justifications are that they are all thugs. If we date back 50 years ago, blacks were being killed for no reason other than being black. The system was designed against blacks…simple as that.
Then you have this man speaking of Muslims in a way that the world listens to as unjust. So now you have more Muslims right here angry. This man speaks of mexicans in a way that is horrible. He speaks of blacks in a unjust way…but never speaks of how whites commit more mass murders, pedophile rapes, rape of unconscious women…whites lead in every stat on FBI Table 43 except murder and robbery. Not far behind in murder either.
The point here is that…I feel like Blacks, Muslims and Mexicans will one day target whites for the injustices of America. I just feel that way, however I could be wrong. I’m not saying this to be a racist or anything like that, I’m just speaking how I feel especially if Mr. Trump is elected.
My reply;
Mr. Ernest
Yes, the US is on the brink of a civil war, but that tension has nothing to do with Donald Trump. I don’t know anything about you but, I do realize already that you do not listen properly or are blinded by politics as usual. President Obama has set this nation back a hundred years when it comes to race relations as well as religion, political views or anything else that keeps our society in balance. Eight years ago we were in a deep recession but as a nation we were still working side by side as Americans to keep this country on the right track. Obama came to office riding on a wave of ideas and promises that were all predicated on lies.
He then began to tear us apart by separating us into categories and classes based on color, religion and economic/social stature.
Every speech he made cut into the fabric that we have acquired, that held us together and has improved so much over 200+ years. He would insinuate that the rich are stealing from the poor, the Christians are haters of any other religion especially Islam, which is Obama’s favorite target for compliments. He talked about his Christian faith but says the sweetest sounding thing on earth is the Muslim call to Morning Prayer. As a Christian myself, the sweetest sound has always been any song that tells of my (and supposedly Mr. Obama’s) savior and his promises of salvation to his children.
I can go on and on about the ways that President Obama has torn this nation apart, like his apology tour, where he told the world how bad we are as a nation, at least until he came along, or the way he trashes the police every time something happens involving a black and a cop. He never speaks to calm the situation; he blames the police even before the facts are gathered. That’s just the way he is, he doesn’t like America for some reason but time and time again, he works to tear us down.
When Mr. Trump speaks of Muslims, I hear a man talking about the radical Islamic groups and their operatives that are trying and succeeding at infiltrating our nation with the sole purpose of hurting Americans and destroying our way of life. He talks about fixing our system so as to truly vet these people and take every possible precaution to limit the entry of radicals to zero. He has stated that he is not talking about moderate Muslims that have come here and are assimilating into our society. I know you have heard the same talk from him, are you sure you listened properly or were his words twisted with hate for the person talking? Is your hate coming from twisted and untrue facts laid out by the main stream media?
I hear the same thing about the Mexicans and I might add you also mean anyone illegally entering our country over our southern border. Mr. Trump talks of ending ILLEGAL immigration, not legal immigration. I don’t understand how you cannot understand simple English, you wrote your comment in very coherent English. We do have a problem with millions of illegals coming here and becoming dependent on our welfare system receiving free education, SNAP, Section 8 housing, Medicaid, welfare as well as other benefits that have to be paid for by the American taxpayer. It would be cheaper to pay them to live in Mexico but that’s not the way to do it either.
Mr. Trump is very high on the problems of the black communities, especially the inner city areas where drugs and gangs rule the streets. He has been targeting those issues for a while now, he has met with black leaders and has given them examples of some of his plans to help them climb out of the position that the democrats have left them in. Democrats want their votes and pander with the offer of free things to insure that their votes go their way every four years. But, they are still in the same position they have been in forever. The Democrats only idea is to make everyone lose the right to own a firearm. Then, only the criminals and gangs will have them, that’s it, nothing more, same old, same old.
Mr. Trump is high on law and order as being a very important to our nation, this starts at the top with DC and covers every part of our society, our government and our dealing with foreign entities. If everyone from the top of the ladder to the bottom rung is obeying the same laws, we will be the safest nation on the planet. This is something that has been lacking for the last decade and needed to be addressed long ago. It doesn’t matter who is doing this or that, it matters that someone needs to be stopped and punished for their deeds. Your stats on crime don’t take into consideration the percent of each group compared to the percentage of crimes. If 25percent of all crime is done by 5 percent of the people, the overall for that 5 percent group is greater by far than a group making up 55 percent of the people.
You say you are worried that these other groups will one day rise up against the “whites”, well maybe if we had a strong economy, less crime, and a lean government that works for all of its citizens, not just the “elites”, where everyone had a better chance to advance and climb out of the inner city slums and ghettos, we will never even give that scenario a second thought.
With prosperity comes peace, Donald Trump is the one who comes to us with new and different ideas to “Make America Great Again”. Mr. Trump will not divide, it’s the MSM and the lies they broadcast to a nation that wants to believe that he is bad, crazy, stupid, etc…. I used to watch CNN and MSNBC until I realized that they had an agenda and that was only to promote the Democrats, never anyone else. The internet has been the greatest provider of the truth as well as a cesspool of lies. You need to find the honest sites and stay clear of the ones with the lies and twisted stories that may sound great but are only there to sway you, not inform you.
One other thing I would like to hear from you or anyone else is what words or statements have you heard that you believe are racist or bigoted? Have you seen his employees or listened to them talk about working for The Trump Organization and how they speak of a place where all ethnicities, all races and all women are just as welcome as any white male on the planet? Look at this man’s family; he has raised a fine group of children who are now trashed by the MSM as well as his beautiful wife Melania, who is a proud and legal immigrant. How could he hate immigrants and have had 2 legal immigrant wives. That is why I want to know what he said to make you think he is any of those derogatory words that he has been called by the MSM? Are you going by what one of the talking heads on TV said? I sure hope you can at least try to see the truth. People just aren’t used to a politician who is not pandering to their crowd by their looks or sex.
Our nation needs borders that are secure, an economy that is strong and the freedom for the American citizens to not have to support all the worlds people but prosperous enough to give to the needy around the globe, and give from the heart.
I can only hope that you can see it in your heart to really give this man, Mr. Trump, a good look from totally unbiased sources. He may be our last real hope of having a strong and well integrated nation that we can all be proud of.
This was written as a reply not to one, but to all the Ernest’s out there, you know who you are, you’re the ones who call this conservative American, whose family dates back to the 1600’s in this land, many names. I’ve been labeled a “right wing nut job”, an “Alt-Right”, “racist, bigot, homophobe, populist, nationalist, xenophobic” etc., you get the idea. I’m not perfect, I am sure not worthy of dying on a cross, nor will I ever be but, I am also none of these other things. I was raised by a father who was color blind, and I don’t mean in his eyes, I mean in his heart. He grew up in the depression era working on my grandfather’s farm raising vegetables for sale in the Philadelphia markets. He worked side by side with migrant workers who were of all colors and ethnicities, jobs were so scarce in those days. He knew that everyone was an individual and his most famous saying, I can hear it right now as I type was, “it’s not because of your color that I don’t like you, it’s because of you proved yourself to be unworthy of respect”. My dad got along with everybody; he was called “Mr. Ed” by all even though he felt like he was just “Ed”.
I was lucky to be raised in such a household with a father like him, a WWII vet and expert electrician with the patience to teach his four sons (I’m the youngest) everything we could absorb and each of us took that knowledge and made a life of our own.
I will go on trying to keep his light shining brightly if only for me in my heart.
Thanks for reading my “Reply to Ernest” and come back again, sometimes it takes me a while to get fired up enough to write something that I want to write.
Don’t forget TRUMP/PENCE 2016
