Here is my African Americans, was Trump racist? Yes. Was his African American a prop? Yes.
Mark Meadows may believe he is not racist. But, in the Wednesday meeting, Mark Meadows and Lynne Patton were props for Trump.
Donald Trump is a racist and has been a long time and I will not allow him to blur the lines between equality of the races. It is immoral to allow such hatred and deception about that hatred.
Mark Meadows may be Chairman Cummings good friend and he may have nephews and nieces that are a minority and he may be sensitive to the issues those wonderful family members face in their lives. But, bringing Lynne Patton with a letter she wrote to the hearing to intimidate a witness and discredit him was absolutely racist in it's content.
When is Mark Meadows going to apologize for his political comments that defamed President Obama as a Kenyan? When is Rep. Meadows going to hold Donald Trump's feet to the fire and demand Trump apologize for YEARS of racist remarks about President Obama? President Obama is an American. He bent over backward to settle the dispute by displaying a full birth certificate to the public and even that wasn't good enough. That is racism and it was conducted by the current occupant of the White House.
I do not doubt Ms. Patton feels the way she does. I do not doubt she wrote a letter in protest of the racist identity assigned to Trump, but, she should also reflect on a much bigger picture than herself.
Racism can be about an individual, but, racism is much bigger than one person. Does Ms. Patton reflect on the number of innocent young black men shot dead in the USA by police when she writes her letters endorsing a president that has been openly racist?
Her willingness to be used for political purposes is very troubling. I do not believe she understands racism, it's impact in today's society or the extent such violent ideas have carried out real problems that are unsolved even today. How does she feel about Trayvon Martin being assassinated only feet away from his father's home? What about the gunning down of Laquan McDonald? She put herself on display in the US House Committee Meeting room while a witness was making his statement and answering questions. What does she think she was doing?
Rep. Mark Meadows was used as a prop and he was willing to water down the reality that the man in the White House is not only a racist, but, a hate monger. Was Rep. Meadows worried about his own election or the standing of a president? What was his purpose in displaying himself and Ms. Patton in servitude to Donald Trump?
The events of Wednesday's meeting were very troubling. I do not believe Michael Cohen was lying. It is not because I want it all to be true, but, the EVIDENCE he provided with the ability to supply more of the same is overwhelming. The entire idea racism can be dismissed to attempt to exonerate Trump from his wrong doing is absurd at best.
Mark Meadows and Ms. Patton practiced politics on Wednesday in order to protect the image of a man that is a criminal and currently in the White House. That meeting room is not a political stage and there are issues of ethics at hand. I sincerely hope this can be understood and respected because every time such political displays are carried out, there need to be ethic infractions that follow.
