Donald Trump Targeted - One does not normally target someone who is not a Threat! image hot91online
From Hollywood to the New York Daily News, accusations of Donald Trump as a racist have been flying since he brought up the issue of Obama’s birth certificates authenticity – It was a question asked by a group of American citizens who were curious about the President’s Hawaiian birth certificate, and the appearance that it simply did not exist. Trump took up the issue, and after three years into the administration, a long form birth certificate appeared. The questions of a candidates birth are not out of the ordinary – John McCain, who was born in Panama, was asked for his birth certificate in the 2008 general election – it’s an issue that is above party politics, (sometimes) and one that has little to do with “race” and more to do with “policy and procedures” under the U.S. Constitution. That Trump, who is scheduled to announce his decision to run for the Presidency in May, after the NBS show, “The Apprentice” closes, (thus not violating any FCC rules regarding equal time for politicians), has been eviscerated by the press and other special interest groups for being – a “racist” – because he brought the issue to bear. He has also questioned the President’s policies on the economy and his intelligence – frankly, something that would not make a soul blink if Obama were – in a word – white. It is not so much that Obama is even African American (in part, in part he is Caucasian on his mother’s side), it is that he represents to the media apparently, a “holy cow” – not to be criticized and or challenged in any way shape or form. If someone does criticize the President, they are immediately tagged as a “racist” regardless of the charge being ludicrous or a difference of policy ideology. It is growing thin, and about to get a great deal thinner.
From Reuters: a group known as the “Color of Change” is targeting Trump through putting pressure on African American’s appearing on his show the Apprentice. The group is calling for Star Jones and Lil Jon to denounce Donald Trump as a “racist”. If one has had the opportunity or the forbearance to watch an episode of the show (reality television being what it is), and view the interaction between Trump and all celebrities on the program, one finds equal treatment and respect, regardless of whether the “apprentice” is while, black, woman or man (or any other “group” that can claim an offense). The premise of the show is for celebrities to compete on a project in order to raise money for one of their charities, they break into “teams” and the winning “team” receives the cash culled from the project for their particular charity. From an outside the reality television show demographic, this appears to be a rather nice way of allowing individuals who are celebrities to give back and become at the same time, role models in the area of giving back and working hard for one’s charity.
There you have it in brief.
It is something that one should be proud of, not something one should denounce, however, this particular group, Color of Change has asked both Apprentice Celebrities to “denounce Trump as Racists for questioning Obama’s birth certificate” - by tweeting and other such methods. When one reviews the resumes of those who are in charge of “Color of Change, one finds the boards:
James Rucker is co-founder of ColorOfChange.org and serves as its board chair. Prior to co-founding ColorOfChange, James served as Director of Grassroots Mobilization for MoveOn.org Political Action and MoveOn.org Civic Action and was instrumental in developing and executing on fundraising, technology, and campaign strategies. James has worked in various roles in the software industry in San Francisco and has provided coaching and technology consulting for other start-up ventures.
Rucker therefore, is a political activist, and director for the left-of-center, over-the-top, Move-on.org, an organization funded by one George Soros, aging socialist and a man with more money than he knows what to do with, yet, a background that would indicate a great deal of therapy might be in order, considering his early youth in Germany under Hitler, and the literal grave robbing of those destined to the gas chamber – in which he participated – as a Jew – he must be conflicted. Besides Donald Trump, the group is, of course, targeting Glen Beck, the talk show host who has yet to be accused of “age-baiting” George Soros.
This five year old group (formed just prior to the emergence of the Barack Obama phenomena) is supporting Obama, by any means, whether they hold a grain of truth or not.Granted there are 1st amendment issues at stake, however, targeting and harassing celebrities because of the color of their skin, to denounce someone because of the color of their skin, appears to be – extremely racists on the part of this particular group. It is just all too silly.
Trump appears to be a guy from Queens, who came from a middle class background, and has not lost his Queens demeanor. He speaks his mind, and says things that may make some uncomfortable, because they were thinking along the same lines, but…might not have the ability or the “chutzpah” to put it into words. He’s a regular guy who makes a million bucks, and lots of deals that, frankly, make him a huge success – he is flag waving and loves his country – and from his words (paraphrased) he feels the need to contribute and try to straighten out our economy – as President.
Anyone who is an American Citizen and has attained the age of 35 may run for President - that fits Trump to a tee – and the louder the press, the louder the “special interest groups” push, the more publicity they garner form headlines denouncing Trump – the more popular he becomes with the “people on the street”. The people who are not the east coast elite, those who are struggling to pay their bills and those who are Republicans, Democrats and Independents, who are looking at Trump and hoping he will announce as soon as the final episode of the Apprentice is done. These are people who find these charges of racism against Trump ridiculous – and the more the media, celebrities and groups go over the top, the more appeal Trump has. Are they intentionally trying to oust Obama? That has to be the question, and therefore, are they the true racists for using African American’s as pawns in order to achieve a political and ideological agenda?
Although early in “political season” as it is, there will be a plethora of individuals on which to nitpick that are not Obama, but all who would take time from their lives and treasures (ability to make money above the salary of a President), to try and fix the mess this country is in economically – it is a question of political ideology only - period.
Trump has bad hair, apparently wasn’t enough of a slur, so... detractors had to dig up something more – the same will be said of anyone else who enters or is thinking of entering the 2012 race – regardless of whether or not they are squeaky clean, one can bet the hosue, there will be a cry of “racist” no matter who is on “deck”, or in the case of Mike Huckabee, those in the press forget the fact the man governed Arkansas for two and one half terms, and place his “ordained minster” qualifications first in any article or newscast – crying “Christian” to the elite, is almost second to crying “racists” and becoming just as transperant.
Are there really racists, of course, there are racists from all ethnic and racial groups, and it continues to grow, with the help of those who write and broadcast and organize – creating hate where there was none before, all in the name of ideology. There are, however, far more Americans’ that are white, black, Spanish, Asian, from mars – who are not, who do not see color but the person and the worth of the individual. Donald Trump is no racists, no more so than those “targeted stars”, Lil John and Star Jones, it is a made for TV and Twitter campaign to smear, in the name of politics and nothing more, the name of Donald Trump, because he wants to run for President, nothing more and nothing less. From this perspective, Trump would make an excellent addition to the field of candidates, which may be why he is a target in the first place. If Trump were not a threat, as in the candidate and opposition, then there would be no need to “target” him and “tag” him as a racist.
