In the first installment
of this two-part post, I mentioned that from my perspective I had understood
Kaepernick had a right to protest as an American, but all of that sentiment had
changed through a series of interlocking events. Here is what I mean by the interlocking
events. There is curious coming together of a few topics from current events
that is taking place now. We have Kaepernick and his season-long protest, and
the way it is tied to Black Lives Matter because his beautiful wife is an
advocate and he is actually doing all of this to show off for her. Then you
have the death of Fidel Castro: the biggest loser in the western hemisphere
over the last 150 years of history - bar none. And then we have the inclusion
of Castro in the protest of Kaepernick. It happened at the beginning when he
wore a pic of Castro on his shirt and last week when he was challenged to
defend his Castro loving tendencies as he approached a game in Miami.
The thing is, Miami is
full of Castro refugees. And then there is Donald Trump, and he figures into
all of this because he announced that Castro was a loser and he was going to
disrupt or revoke Obama’s “deal” with Cuba because they are a fascist dictator
state and do not deserve our adulation. So, now as Kaepernick is praising
Castro, and Castro is officially dead, we have Trump speaking out boldly about
who Castro was and what Castro was, and decrying Obama and others for giving
Castro a respectful eulogy in the press. But, there is even more to this.
It all interlocks in the
campaign for the presidency and the way Trump won. Trump had announced in the
fall, in Florida, to all those Cubans, that he thought Castro was a loser and
the “deal” Obama had struck with the Castro brothers was an embarrassment to
everything we believe in. And you know what happened? The Cubans became passionate Republicans, and they voted for
Trump because Trump got them.
So, now the question
becomes: Why was Trump able to get the Cubans in Miami and get the Cuban vote
in the process? Why was the Democrat party unable to win over the Cuban vote?
Well the obvious answer
is that Obama had wooed and won over the Cuban Castro connection to make that
one-sided “deal” that was basically like the deal he made with Iran in every
meaningful way. In so doing, Obama had alienated the affections of the Cubans.
But, since when was Obama aware of having slighted anyone that he cared about?
Obama is more worried about Islamophobia in the US than extremist Islamic
terrorism, remember?
Meanwhile, Trump knows
people and he has lived in Florida a long time. Trump knows people, and he
knows the Cuban people. So, he took their side in the most natural way on the
Castro issue, but here is why that is so amazing. The entire campaign we heard the
Democrat party continually segment the vote into the woman vote, the Black vote
and the Hispanic vote. And that is all they talked about in the media over and
over. The press was fixated obsessively over the woman vote and the Black vote
and the Hispanic vote. It did not matter what the news was about, or what had
happened, they would always turn everything around to an issue about the woman
vote, and the Black vote, and the Hispanic vote.
But, that is part of the
reason they lost. What they really meant was, since we want to screw the white
man, we have to court women, Black people and Hispanic people because
technically, all the white women, all the Black people, and all the Hispanic
people in the US outnumber all the white men. So, they assumed that when everybody gets it, they would all coalesce. The Democrats would win, and the white man would be
the loser.
That is why they could
only talk about and only see the woman vote, the Black vote, and the Hispanic
vote. I bet you are already getting sick and tired of me saying it so many
times in this blog post. So, here is the real deal. That is all a bunch of
^%$^$% and Trump knew it, and everybody that voted for him knew it.
Did you ever hear
anybody say that Hillary had a problem with the man vote? Did anybody ask
Hillary what she was going to say to men to garner the man vote? It is funny to even
say it because it was the last thing that occurred to anybody. The liberal press could not
care less about the man vote because it was really the white man vote, and the
whole point of the hallowed Democrat post-America mission was to screw the white man once and for
all.
But, there are not a lot
of white women who are actually anxious to turn on their white husbands and fathers
for all kinds of globalist, political reasons. So, courting the woman vote is just
not going to work. You cannot separate woman out from men and talk about “their
vote” as if they will all vote in one monolithic sentiment. It all falls apart
fast if you have any common sense. But, it gets worse from here for the
Democrat party.
It was perhaps an even
bigger mistake to think that all Black people comprise one voting block, and that
they all think alike and they would vote Democrat like they knew they were supposed to. It
is actually a racist sentiment to think that all Black people think the same
way and to assume they would all vote the same way. It is a racist sentiment to
think that all Hispanic people will think and vote the same way. It is also a
gender-biased statement to talk about the woman vote and think that women cannot
think for themselves beyond their gender. But, it keeps getting even worse.
Sure, there are a lot of
women and a lot of Black people and a lot of Hispanic people who voted Democrat
for a lot of reasons – and I am sure not all of them hate the white man. But,
perhaps the most naïve decision of all was to talk about the Hispanic vote.
The only kind of person
who would assume there is one Hispanic vote because they all think alike and they
would all vote against the white man, is a person who is not Hispanic. Only
a foolish and naïve, non-Hispanic person would think that for one tiny second.
The real truth is that there is not now and never will be one, monolithic, unified
thing called the Hispanic vote in the US. Never gonna happen, folks.
Think about it for a second,
and trust me on this if you have no idea or no ties with Hispanic cultures.
When Trump announced his candidacy and when the whole thing about immigration
and the wall came up; when there was this huge push-back against Trump’s
feeling about Mexican people who were coming over the border as illegal migrants,
especially the ones who were committing atrocious crimes – do you think anybody
in Florida cared? Really? Do you think a bunch of Cubans and Puerto Ricans in
Florida really care one iota about a bunch of Mexicans stumbling over the
border in California to beg, borrow, steal, deal drugs, do drugs, and kill
people? Really? Do you really think a bunch of Cubans and Puerto Ricans in
Florida care about the plight of those poor Mexicans who just want a chance to
be illegal so they can try to make it in this country? Why would they? The Cubans
and Puerto Ricans in Florida think the criminals stumbling over the border from
Mexico into California are losers. They do not identify with those people in
any way, shape, or form.
News flash: to the
Cubans and Puerto Ricans in Florida, being identified with illegal Mexicans
stumbling over the border in the middle of the night is an insult of the
highest degree.
Clue: when you come from
a different country, a different culture, a different identity, and you have to
risk your life in a boat, and hope you do not drown in the process of getting
here from across the shark-infested waters, you have little sympathy for
someone who only had to step across the border to arrive and have their big
chance.
Everything Trump said
about Mexico, Mexicans, the wall, all of it – had absolutely nothing to do with
Cubans or Puerto Ricans in Florida. They are different people, from different cultures.
They consider themselves to be different and they absolutely never have
identified as a united political front with Mexican people. So, none of Trump’s
rhetoric had a certain influence on any Hispanic people who were not from
Mexico. Furthermore, a lot of Mexican people living here legally and working
their asses off have no sympathy for the Mexicans who insist on posing a border
problem.
When Trump went to
Florida and announced to the Cubans that he was against the Obama deal with
Cuba, the Cubans loved him for it, but that had no effect on the Puerto Ricans.
See how that works? Amazingly, it is as if they are all like individual people who can think for
themselves, these crafty Hispanics. The Puerto Ricans could not care less about
the Cubans. They are different people from a different country. But, Trump only
needed an avalanche from the Cubans to win in Florida. He got it – he stole it
right out from under the Democrat party’s inclusive, three-foot-long, Pinocchio
nose, and they did not even see it coming.
The truth is that Trump
knows how to respect people. You take race off the table, you take gender off
the table, and you talk about making money. You take everything off of the
table and you talk about someone’s right to earn money. That is the language
that everybody understands. In the end, it is the right to make money, and lots
of it, that people care about most. If you don’t believe me, just ask Trump,
ask the people who voted for him, or ask Fidel Kaepernick, the millionaire pro
football player with a beautiful new wife who just hates living in America but
they will suffer through it somehow, or ask the Castro brothers. It’s all about
respect and the right to make money … and lots of it. People do not care nearly
as much about Black, White or Brown as much as they care about the almighty Green.
So, next time Fidel Kaepernick condescends to preach to us about what it means to be a good person, or somebody starts telling you it’s about the woman vote, or the Black vote, or the Hispanic vote,
you can tell them that I said they need to quit being racist and gender-biased, and they need to decide if they are going to love America or move to Cuba, or Canada, good riddance …
