Rancid Racism

At a prayer breakfast yesterday, Donald Trump looked at a sea of upturned white faces in the room of Evangelical voters and said, “After all that white people have done for this country, it would be an insult to your forebears, an insult to everything America stands for, if you people here in this audience and all the white people in America let down and failed to vote for me, Donald Trump, the one white man in the race, in the forthcoming election.  You want American to be great again?  Go vote for Trump!

Oh!  Sorry!  That wasn’t Donald Trump at all!  My mistake!  It wasn’t Donald Trump being a rancid racist and a sexist at all.

It was actually President Barack Hussein Obama, America’s first black president, who, as the keynote speaker at the Congressional Black Caucus dinner last night, said:

“[A]fter we have achieved historic turnout in 2008 and 2012, especially in the African-American community, I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good send off? Go vote!"

Okay black people.  If you truly love me, and know which side your bread is buttered on, you better get off your asses and vote for ………[Hillary.]

This naked appeal to racist voting has so far gone unremarked in the main-stream media, because despite Obama’s contemptuous treatment of them, the MSM still loves the guy – like a beaten wife loves her abusive husband.

If Trump ever said any such thing as I pretended that he had, the gates of media hell would open against him.  But he wouldn’t because, by all accounts, Trump hasn’t a racist bone in his body.

And the black community seems to be realizing it.  According to the latest polls, Trump is now supported by around 15 % of that voting block, a dangerously high number for Hillary.  Perhaps Trump’s appeal, “What have you got to lose?” is beginning to register.  Maybe black mothers are attracted to his law and order and public safety appeals.  Maybe his call for jobs for the inner cities is melting some hearts.  Maybe those black dudes are uncomfortable with voting for a sickly white woman for president.

Who knows?  But Obama’s appeal to pure racism may not work this time.

However, that he did resort to such an appeal ought not to go unnoted.
