Donald Trump is vying for a presidential nomination from the Republican
party. One of his main campaign slogans is: "Make America Great
Again" This is a total joke to me as an African American. What
greatness is he referring to, that is the big question here??? Donald
considers himself a conservative and is trying to appeal to the very left-wing
of the population. What I believe he is truly referring to is
regressing back as a nation to a time where bigotry and racism were
staples of the American social norms for Caucasians.
Donald is playing on the fears and
misguided hopes of the many of the left-wingers. The fears I refer to are
of the eroding of the power and privilege that comes with being Caucasian
in America. American has become more and more diverse in recent times,
not just in population but in division of power as well.
The misguided hopes are based in them believing that if
Trump becomes president, their lives will immediately change for the
better. This is totally misguided, Trump
is only out for Trump. This hope is
just as misguided as those African Americans that believe that somehow
everything would change for the better in their lives just as soon as Obama was
elected to the presidency. Lower class
Caucasians will not suddenly become upper class if Trump is elected. It is this ignorance though, that is a large contributor
to his momentum .
