ACE WITH TRUMP
LET'S SERVE AN ACE WITH TRUMP!
No sense "running around our backhands," moping, to use a tennis metaphor. Instead, volley a winner. Serve an ace!
I contend that we, Americans, are blessed. All Americans. White Americans, of course historically, preferentially; but black Americans too, persistently, inevitably, finally.
The election of Barack Hussein Obama as United States President, twice, certainly means, certainly marks, something, especially when we take into account the year 2016 defeat of Hillary Clinton by Donald Trump in that Presidential election.
What all of it may ultimately mean is whatever we make it mean by our incessant activism for good things.
Activists are we by national birth. Our natural activist bonafides are bestowed on us in our founding documents, as ramified in history.
How blessed are we? How blessed have we been, those of us who are yet blessed to still be alive, to have been witnesses to, to have been parties to, have contributed to, to have participated in, especially to have voted in, "voting" being itself another metaphor for: ballots, bullets, bayonets, bombs, lawsuits , boycotts, separatism, integration, dispersed in our history since 1789.
Our American historical pageantry has witnessed a select number of influential men and women, black and white and others. Each played a role in transforming our nation. Some were elected officials. Most were not. All contributed to the ever-ongoing, refining process of that is United States of America.
That uniquely American refining, defining process avidly pursues promised rights of liberty and justice for all; of life, property and the pursuit of happiness; and the general welfare of all of its citizens.
Now as we embark upon 2017's renewing ritual of inaugurating a new President, one worth billions, whose Republican political party controls the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, and most state legislatures and governors, now is the best, ideal time to press on toward final resolution of the issue of African American restitution!
He wants to rebuild the inner cities and our decrepit infrastructures, by giving jobs to millions. Wonderful! We do too! Let us encourage him!
Being a billionaire businessman, he understands money and taxes. He best knows how to make the one, how best to one avoid the other.
No better man, no better person, than Donald Trump can finish the incomplete job that his Republican predecessors let fall to the ground with the Freedmen 's Savings Bank debacle, and the failure to deliver reparations, lands, money, mules, emoluments, benefits, spoils to the freedmen, after Civil War! They who saved the entire nation from destruction got only freedom itself.
Too big for bribes, too brash for politicians, too individualist for any party platform. He is our man! He is our big money man! Donald Trump!
How blessed are we? Very blessed, indeed! No more running around our backhands. Let's serve an ace!
