Why Do So Many White People Support Donald Trump? Because They Enjoy Their Slavery And Their Position Inside The Master's House.
Slavery encompasses everyone in America!
I apologize for the title as I know it does tend to trigger some people. Although this article is not meant to be racial in any way, it’s more about grabbing your attention and maybe waking up those who need to be awake.
The way I tend to do this is by writing pieces like this. If this offends you, then you can stop reading now and move on, but if you got the cojones, please follow me as I spin this story, and have you looking down the Rabbit Hole that is my perception of the world in front of me!
The question is “Why Do So Many White People Support Donald Trump?”
This is a question I often asked myself time and time again during the time when Trump was President. What is it that makes them follow this man and probably are dedicated enough to give their lives for?
Then I came up with a simple story to explain this issue. A story which most of you know very well! The concept of the Field Slave and House Slave.
A Plantation Called “America”
Once upon a time, there stood a plantation called “America”. This plantation was owned and run by a man named “Uncle Sam”. Uncle Sam was a tall lanky older fellow, who looked a little like Abraham Lincoln. You always saw him wearing a top hat no matter where he went and was a flamboyant dresser, as you always see him in his signature colors of Red, White, and Blue!
Uncle Sam’s Plantation called “America” was huge and was the biggest and most profitable Plantation in the area. He enslaved thousands of slaves to work for him, while he sat on his balcony of his huge mansion looking out into “America's” vast fields! He had many slaves from all walks of life who were brought here to make a better life for themselves rather than make a better life for him.
There were White Slaves, Brown Slaves, Yellow Slaves, and even Black Slaves. They all worked the fields in the beginning and as the sun shined on their backs, and sweat began to build on their brows, many of these slaves began resenting Uncle Sam as he oversaw from his estate where all of his slaves worked.
His Overseers would closely watch the slaves to make sure they picked the number of crops they had to pick every day. You see there were quotas! The Overseers were also part of the slaves but were treated better than the regular field slave. Overseers because of the better treatment and because of propaganda started to look down at the field slaves. Many Overseers would beat the slaves for no reason or for minor issues much like the police do to civilians these days.
Uncle Sam Decided To Build A Bigger House.
One day, Uncle Sam decided he needed to build a bigger house for himself and with a bigger house, he needed to have a staff to take care of and run the day-to-day chores that needed to be done. Uncle Sam gathered his Overseers and asked them to round up the field slaves because he wanted to “talk to the masses.”
The Overseers quickly rounded up everyone to the courtyard where a large fountain stood. As he (Uncle Sam) walked up to the podium he told them that he was looking to hire himself some slaves to take care of his house.
Many slaves raised their hands — much like we do when we are looking for jobs, and he pointed out who he thought would be the best for him. As the Overseers pulled out the slaves that Uncle Sam pointed to, they came up to the podium and the slaves stood there happy and smiling.
For some reason, Uncle Sam decided to choose his staff that belonged to the same group as him. He chose his house slaves to be an all-white staff rather than mixed like the rest of the positions the other slaves were holding. As the slaves stood in line, Uncle Sam gave them a once over and was happy with his decision and said, “all of you will do! Now get to work!”
The newly formed house slaves ran off to the mansion to start work. Uncle Sam turned back to the podium and said, “the rest of you can go back to work! Overseers, please make sure they do that.”
Years passed and the house slaves lived well, better than the Overseers and the field slaves. Although, at times, Uncle Sam tended to get mean and beat or raped his house slaves. Still, it was better than being in the fields working all day in the hot sun. They had clean clothes, medical and dental care and even their own rooms for when work was done they could lock themselves away in privacy.
After a while, the White House slaves grew fat and hedonistic as they joined the unscrupulous parties that Uncle Sam liked to have into the wee hours of the morning. They partook in whatever debauchery their master engaged them in. They soon forgot that they were slaves and started barking orders to the field slaves who were confused as to why the house slaves were so uppity!
Riots within the field slave ranks began, clashes with the Overseers were bloody and both sides suffered enormous losses. When this happened the house slaves quickly surrounded Uncle Sam to make sure no stray bullet will hit him, instead they will take a bullet for Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam will tell them that “God will pay you for protecting me!” or that “you are here because you are special and not like them!” — propaganda.
House Slaves Wanted To Continue To Live Like They Always Did.
The house slaves could not understand why the field slaves were acting up so badly against Uncle Sam! I mean Uncle Sam gave them food, a place to stay, and clean clothes, so Uncle Sam was a “good man”! Field slaves wanted better treatment from their masters, but the house slaves were fine with the arrangement they had. Resentment grew between the house slaves and the field slaves. A resentment that continues to this day as many people want change to happen, but there are some who still want to support the status quo!
The White House slaves who got the chance to move from the fields are the ones that support people like Donald Trump, who want Donald Trump to come back and make the plantation called “America” great again. Even though the plantation is slowly falling into disarray, and many field slaves have died due to bad food, lack of medicine, or what have you, Uncle Sam’s house slaves still support him and his plantation called “America”. They are holding on to the days of their forefathers that they consider the “Golden Age” when they had everything and the field slaves have nothing.
Unfortunately, now the plantation is no longer bringing the money like it used to. Uncle Sam has joined and became partners with other plantation owners to make more money, and slowly Uncle Sam no longer really needs his house slaves, but like I said, before the house slaves do not want to go back to becoming field slaves, so they invented monsters to keep them in the arms of Uncle Sam!
One day Uncle Sam will die!
He is barely holding on these days, what will happen to the house slaves? The fear of no longer being first at anything, or knowing that the privileged life is over, or not wearing clean clothes gives them nightmares knowing that one day, they too will be expected to work the fields like us field slaves have done for hundreds of years!
What will happen? We shall see!
