Last night, the current president, Joe Biden, and the former president, Donald Trump, met in the Black Mecca of America, Atlanta, for a tête-à-tête debate to see who gets to rule the greatest nation in the world, ‘Murica’!

It was certainly a sight to see, with the Nazi sympathizer showing a bit more alertness than the current president, who is at least alert enough to appoint a cabinet full of people who don’t try to overthrow the government. While Trump may have had a better performance than Biden, no amount of debate wins will help Trump be the overwhelming choice for Black voters because most of us see through his bullsh*t. Throughout his career, Trump has insulted minorities, from full-page adverts in the New York Times calling for the death of the Central Park Five to housing discrimination to refusing to disavow the racists who champion his presidency. 

So, it is even more perplexing when you have Black people kiss his ass as if he wouldn’t sh*t in their faces—I am talking to you, Jason Whitlock, Byron Donalds, Tim Scott and Sexyy Red.

Ironically, Donalds and Scott think they are on the shortlist to be his running mate. With his past and current statements, it is plausible that he would not consider the Vice Presidency as a Black job. 

Republicans are actively seeking to remove progress that has been made by Affirmative Action and DEI programs, not because they are unfair but because they seek to rectify unfairness. Part of Trump’s plan is to centralize power, and anyone with two neurons to rub together knows that Trump is not going to employ Black people in great positions of power. The revocation of DEI programs and Affirmative Action will allow white people to continue discriminatory practices without legal reprove. Many Black people will tell you how their experiences in corporate America are a Vinn Diagram of outworking, outpacing, and outperforming their non-Black coworkers who receive higher pay.

Even Black people educated in top-tier universities are accused of not having earned their positions, while HBCUs are not considered on par with PWIs.

The interesting thing is that Black people are accused of taking jobs and spots at universities from white people by the same entities who are now supporting the idea that “illegals” are taking jobs from Black people. What Trump and his cronies actually think is that Black people are only equipped for low-wage unskilled labor, and any position of power that we hold is given to us under duress by a white employer held hostage by government overreach.

Trump thinks that Black people should like him more because he has an arrest record; what?

His assessment of Black people is that we are unskilled laborers with a penchant for criminality and do not deserve success, especially the same amount or more than white people. Joe Biden is clearly not the most alert candidate, but the sh*t Trump promotes is insulting, and Biden has clearly made sure to have a diverse staff. The difference between the two is ultimately their administrations, and Trump’s insistence on viewing us as subpar is indicative of the views of his administration.

A man who has filed bankruptcy for half a dozen jobs is not good for business and he surely isn’t good for Black business, either.
