Crying Wolf Before The Wolf Is Born
A Story about the US 2020 Presidential Election
President Donald Trump knew he was going to lose the election, and so did many in his party and the White House. The Voice of the people knew he was going to lose. None of the above is fortune tellers or gypsies. He was a brilliant businessman with questionable ethics, and that’s why he was crying wolf long before the wolf was born. He created the idea that voter’s fraud stole the election from him. Voter’s fraud and a stolen election was his backup plan. Looking ahead, he was able to see what many of us and many in his party see.
With his handling of the Pandemic, his lack of Health Care plan, and more, he saw a Rocky Road ahead without the nuts, marshmallows, and cream. He knows that many Americans were weary, depress, desperate, anxious, hungry, they saw hopelessness. You see, blame is lighter when shared. And if we can blame someone else for our failure, we believe we still win. Blaming a rigged election for his loss is easy to digest. He would rather blame his failure on a lie than admit that he is human.
According to Wikipedia, the Non-Hispanic White population in the United States is 60.1%, Hispanic or Latinos 18.5%, Black or African Americans takes 13.4%. Look at the chart below.

Doing the math according to the percentage of whites in America, there are 250,446,756.049 whites, to 43,984,096.082 blacks. They say more than 140,000,000 people voted. Donald Trump didn’t get a lot of the black votes. He handed them to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, along with a couple million of the young and old non-black votes when he showed his racist side.
The fight that blacks put up in the four years he was in power, they fought with 500 years of pain, endurance, and strength. They didn’t only fight for themselves, they fought for every race and everyone who had been through what they have. So, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are carrying a lot. His advisers and consultants failed to check out the Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Sometimes the whites outnumber the black demonstrators. When your own race turns against you, you are in trouble.
My race knows more about poverty, racism, hunger, pain, suffering, sacrifice, struggling, death, etc. than any other race in our world, especially in the United States. We were born fighting. We have a fighting spirit that strengthens us and gives us endurance.
Many of my race believes that the blacks who embrace President Trump are wealthy blacks who have risen from poverty and have forgotten where they came from. Poverty doesn’t like to be forgotten, and that’s why many who have forgotten where they came from, poverty return to reclaim them. I do my best not to forget my pain of poverty.
I am shocked to see the number of educated people who believe that Trump didn’t lose. I don’t have a college degree, but I have a clear understanding of the electoral process. Being born and raised in a country where you could be killed for your political choice, I must ask, ‘Why is America playing Third World Political Games?’ Thousands of Jamaican’s have been murdered in the name of politics in the past.
Is anyone paying attention? Will the Republicans be murdering the Democrats in the mid of a Pandemic which has killed more than 238,000 Americans? And counting as new infections keeps rising every day. Is this what President Trump wants? Is this what America wants? What about the Voice of the people?
Black, white, rich, or poor, doesn’t the voice of the people mean anything?
