Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump blaming diversity for an aircraft collision isn't 'common sense' as he says, it's racist [View all]
...since his common sense led him to insinuate that, essentially, someone who isn't a white male is responsible for the aircraft crash, before the investigation has even begun.
The outrage of the President of the United States reverting to a Jim Crow characterization of Americans in his initial take on a tragic and deadly incident he knows absolutely nothing substantive about should be enough to regard him as a reflexive white supremacist.
Contrary to Trump's narrow, ignorant portrayals of diversity, it is the essential engine of our nation's progress. It is not only a recognition of the broad bench of talent and expertise to be found in America from all races - from disabled Americans, LGBTQ, non-English speaking, transgender - but an effort to advantage that individual excellence to its greatest potential.
What Trump is touting is a return to a world that doesn't exist anymore, where there weren't hundreds of thousands of individuals from segments of the country which were not recognized or advantaged by government and businesses in the too recent past.
The nation's military branches recognized this from the time they begun to expand export the nation's defenses, and black Americans, women, and other previously underrepresented individuals were actively sought after to bolster and enhance the fighting forces.
It's also why most businesses aren't abandoning their diversity outreach and retention programs, because, they intend to remain competitive in this century and the next.
Trump is still celebrating a regressive past in his addled head, and he expects the nation to just revert back into a society which didn't welcome them, and didn't provide opportunity for many of them.
It's a recipe for national economic failure, and social stagnation which might have flown under the radar. But this clown is out here just waving his baboon ass at everyone, and most Americans should be absolutely revolted at just how low the nation has sunk to be represented by this racist huckster.
