by NoahIt doesn't get much more cynical than a white supremacist president holding a meeting with some prominent African-Americans and turning and winking to the camera when they can't see him. Clearly, it's just Trump saying to his supporters, "Don't worry, this is just a bullshit photo-op. I couldn't care less. I'm still your guy!"Well, actually, it does get more cynical; and I don't mean the thing about having some mounted police plow through some peaceful protesters and clergy so he can walk with his White House cretins just to hold a bible upside down in front of a church. No, I mean that on Thursday, he went to Dallas for a meeting billed as a "Race and Policing" confab. except, you see, he didn't invite the city's African-American police chief Renee Hall, Dallas County' African-American Sheriff Marian Brown, or Dallas County's Arfican-American District Attorney John Creuzot. I guess he went over the guest list real thoroughly with the wonderful Stephen Miller.But wait, there's more: The "Race and Policing" meeting ended up being in a Dallas Megachurch (Magachurch?) and, although policing was discussed, race wasn't except for some twisted, lying definitions of the meaning of "Defund The Police" given by both Trump and his privately-owned Attorney General, William "Kneepads" Barr. So, not only does Trump hold bibles upside down in front of churches, he goes and lies in the supposed house of God. Nice. Classy. If this were the Old Testament times, he and Barr would have been immediately struck with lightning bolts. Obviously, God has left the building.Now, how can Trump top that? How indeed? How about quadrupling down on his racism? No, he didn't burn a cross in a church although I'm sure we'll see that one soon. Instead, Trump went just as vile by announcing the plans for the first of his 2020 campaign rallies, or, as I call them- Festivals Of Bigotry. He originally pointedly scheduled this particular day of bigotry for Friday, June 19th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. June 19th is also known as Juneteenth or Freedom Day, a day that African-Americans celebrate for obvious reasons. It's the anniversary of the date that the neighboring state of Texas announced the freeing of its slaves and those of the then Oklahoma Territory (June 19th,1865. a very bad day in the sick minds of modern Republicans) now that the Civil War had been over for more than two months. Why Tulsa? Because Tulsa is the location of the largest massacre of black Americans in our country's sordid history of race relations. Greenwood, the black section of Tulsa, was burned to the ground by a white mob. 300 black Americans were murdered and 10,000 black American citizens were left homeless. So, if you're Trump, what better day if you want to grind the heel of republican racism into the souls of African-Amerians? In addition, the burning and massacre in Tulsa occurred 99 years to the day of the tortuous murder of George Floyd; no coincidence there either. This is Trump's psychopathic mind at work. In his mind, he could not have picked a better date and location. Now that Trump has moved the date of his rally exactly one whole bigly damn day, he and the rest of the White House Goon Squad say he deserves some sort of credit for caring and sensitivity. Fuck you Trump. We heard you loud and clear the first time. Big fucking deal; you're moving your Bigot-Fest one whole day. Color me impressed. Now go chew on a 20,000 volt power line. It'll do wonders for your hair.Yes, it's all yet another huge racist fuck you from our psychopathic White Supremacist president. Trump is holding this Tulsa rally, his first rally anywhere since March 2nd, for one reason only, to dance on the graves of the 300 black Americans who were murdered in the massacre while figuratively dancing on the necks of all black Americans, living and dead. This is how the Republican Party rolls in 2020 and has since the days of Nixon. You'll see them in the arena, wearing their red hats (no masks) and cheering their Grand Wizard of a president. It'll be a warm up for their national convention. Oh, don't worry, he'll have a few black faces strategically placed as if to say "See, I'm no racist. No, not I." If he can't find any, you know he'll have his press secretary Kayleigh McEnany appear in blackface saying she's doing it in tribute. Meanwhile, I can't wait to see what Trump has cooked up for Holocaust Remembrance Day next April if this country is dumb and bigoted enough to "reelect" him (Hint: They are).The whole thing is intended as a message to all republicans that they should not only feel emboldened and free to express the racism that drives their party but act on it. It is Republican permissiveness. Trump could not have picked a more grossly significant site to hold one of his White Supremacist rallies. It'll work with Republicans, too, just like Reagan going to Philadelphia, Mississippi to start his 1980 campaign. Philadelphia, Mississippi was the location of the notorious "Mississippi Burning" murder of 3 civil rights workers, Andrew Goodman, James Chaney, and Mickey Schwerner by the Ku Klux Klan. Reagan spoke within walking distance of the earthen dam where the three men were buried. Republicans have worshiped Reagan ever since and obviously Trump is hoping for a repeat of this awful history.At this point, I'm expecting Melania to have some cotton planted in the White House garden so she can force the few African-Americans in the White House to pick it while she aims a shotgun at them while wearing a Confederate flag dress and whistling Dixie. A video of it will be sent out in a Republican fundraising drive.
