On the surface, Donald Trump claims his beloved border wall is necessary to halt an imminent emergency threat to our southern border. However, don’t believe the BS. In reality, it’s a wall of racism symbolizing the disappearance of white dominance and power in America.
Racism
We are now into the 4th week of the US government shutdown with no end in sight. A stubborn Donald Trump was sent to Washington by predominately low-income, poorly educated, white Christian conservatives who saw him as the “Great White Hope” in their quest to hold onto their fleeting white privilege and power. After all, immigrant Hispanics have rapidly become a powerful voting block and are quickly forcing whites into the minority. So, there’s no way Trump can back down now and still save face among his white-separatist base, even if he sends 800,000 furloughed federal workers across America into financial ruin in the process.
Let’s face it: this $5 billion dollar wall of racism is a colossal joke — particularly since anyone with a tall enough ladder can simply climb over it, or anyone with a cheap enough rowboat can simply sail around it. These bits of common sense don’t even take into account the fact that most undocumented immigrants arrive in the US by legal means (crossing the border via air, bus, car) then simply ditching their visas and disappearing upon arrival. Therefore, no $5 billion dollar or even $500 billion dollar wall by itself will successfully prevent anyone from crossing the border illegally.
Interestingly, it’s not supposed to and everyone already knows it.
“For white evangelicals who see the sun setting on white Christian dominance in the country, the wall is a powerful metaphor,” Robert Jones, the author of “The End of White Christian America,” told The Washington Post.
Of course, in the 21st century few people want to admit that they’re motivated by racial resentment. But it’s impossible to ignore what’s behind the spectacle of creating a monument to division and racial fraud at our southern border while ignoring or encouraging climate change, a genuine crisis that actually threatens America’s more than 10,000 miles of coastline. – USA Today
To be honest, this wall of racism was not concocted to be a legitimate barrier to illegal immigration, since the wall would be about as effective at keeping trespassers at bay as a KEEP OUT sign on an abandoned home. No! It was concocted to be a visible edifice of white dominance and power in America. It was concocted to be a virtual set of “railroad tracks” between the good side and bad side of town. It was concocted to show these dirty Mexicans that whites are still in control here and that Latinos should stay in their place on the other side of the wall and stop bringing their babies, their culture, and their (political) beliefs into WHITE America!
Sadly, this is why White Americans secretly donated a whopping $20 million dollars via a now-defunct GoFundMe page toward building their precious and pretend border barrier.
The argument is this: America already had to live through 8 years of some uppity black man who was probably born in Kenya. Now, these dirty Hispanics are announcing they are running for president (former Mexican-American Obama cabinet secretary Julian Castro) and think they are in control. We need to build this wall and announce to the world to keep out of our country, keep out of our politics, and “Make America Great Again” by returning it to a time in the 1950’s when Mexicans, Blacks, and Muslims knew their place and didn’t challenge white Christian values and dominance.
Donald Trump’s White, Christian, conservative America is closed to other cultures and other religious and political affiliations. They only want things “traditionally” or the way things used to be.
They want their wall of racism, damn it, by ANY MEANS NECESSARY, so they can show the world that nothing has changed. This is still WHITE America. All dirty Mexicans and Muslims should KEEP OUT.
However, if any WHITE Europeans want to illegally cross into America via the Canadian border — or if any beautiful and WHITE foreign models (see: Melania Trump) want to overstay their visa, marry a wealthy WHITE American man, and go on to become the First Lady of the United States — then, of course, the welcome mat is laid out for you!
OK WASSUP! discusses Racism:
Trump’s Wall of Racism = White dominance.
“In reality, it’s a wall of racism symbolizing the disappearance of white dominance and power in America.” You’ve done it again DJ….your entire piece hits it OUT the park! Every single point made is rooted in Truth and Facts. The only thing I missed in your description of white Americans who support that grotesque behaving creature in the white House is this – they are “mostly OLD” white Americans, age 50 and up. And I’d also add – while the majority of those Fearful, Ignorant and Hateful people claim to be “Christian” -by their very words and deeds, they’ve shown themselves (time and time again) to be the very ANTITHESIS of Christianity. It’s clear to me they worship “another Jesus”..one of their own making. But I digress. Trump and his supporters (white nationalists, white supremacists, neo-nazis, et al of that despicable ilk) can rail against the wind all day long.… Read more »
