Why Trump Can’t Denounce White Supremacists

An examination of self-identity

The decision heard around the world.

Let’s talk about Trump’s decision to not only not denounce lynch-mob violent white supremacist insurgents, but to command and validate them.

You simply cannot ask a man to denounce, reprimand, invalidate precisely what he is. You cannot ask a man to denounce himself. You cannot ask a man to denounce what he stands for.

Asking Trump to denounce white supremacy is like asking Johnny to denounce street photography. If I was in an election debate and you asked me to denounce street photography, I would have literally said the same thing:

“What photographers? Who? What you wanna — sure, Street photographers, STAND BACK and STAND BY.”

If you asked me to denounce critical thinking and analysis, I would have said the same thing: stand back and stand by. If you asked me to denounce writing, I would have said the same thing: “stand back and stand by.”

I like dressing nice, in suit and tie dress. It kinda doesn’t matter what’s going on either. I have over ten suits in my closet, hundreds of ties, a great dress shoe collection. I’ll never stop buying suits. I can definitely see myself owning, over a hundred suits. I’m always going to be fresh. Ask me to denounce being dapper, can you guess what happens next? “Stand back and stand by.”

You cannot ask a man to denounce himself. Trump has been, and always will be, a white supremacist. The more you look at it, it’s the ONLY thing Trump is actually good at. White supremacy, is the one thing Trump does extremely well. It’s incredibly difficult to get a man to denounce what he does really well.

People typically don’t denounce what they are good at. Reminds me of a scene off one of my favorite movies, Lord of War (2005). The scene where the wife tries to get Nicolas Cage’s character, Yuri Orlov, to stop selling weapons around the world.

Ava Fontaine : “We have enough. You can stop now.” Yuri Orlov : “It’s not about the money.” Ava Fontaine : “What is it about?” Yuri Orlov : “I’m good at it.” (emphasis added, mine)

On that debate stage, America was Ava Fountaine and Trump was Yuri Orlov. Trump is a man who is cloaked in failure. Everything he touches, he destroys. He’s only held together on a cult of personality and an authoritarian streak.

White Supremacy is a Drug

Being that he breaks and destroys everything he touches, the only thing he can ever be good at, like most weak, bitch-ass white male lames, is white supremacy. White supremacy is the #1 abstract thing in America that provides profound opportunity for lame, sorry-ass white men (and women) to gain a sense of value for simply breathing air, for merely existing.

I never been white so I don’t know how it feels, but White Supremacy must be one hell of a drug. The drug of white supremacy must be so addictive, thousands if not millions of whites are willing to erase every disaster Trump has ushered, and every thing he destroyed, which includes American lives, with well over 200,000+ dead, due to his pathologically criminal negligence in the Oval Office, moving faster to protect dead confederates than living Americans. White America, or at least a significant number of it, is willing to destroy America for One. More. Dose.

If white supremacy is a drug, Trump is the drug dealer. It’s very much all he is, all he has to offer. A bump of raw, premium white supremacy, powerful enough to snort, just in case folk are too needle-adverse for that straight to the vein shit. Donald J. Trump is the kingpin of this drug operation.

You do what you are. Not you are what you do; you do what you are. Trump does what he is. And good luck getting him to denounce that.

Honestly, that is.
