It's the R word, stupid.

Image result for racist trump supporters images"It’s all over but the crying, which will also be fun to watch, but even after all these many months of Donald Trump vanquishing foe after foe, the media still doesn’t get it. They still bang on about this anger at “the establishment,” and as a result, they are giving Hillary Clinton bad advice already. During CNN’s coverage of the Indiana primary Tuesday night, liberal commentator and Bernie Sanders supporter Van Jones became just the latest pundit to misdiagnose the Trump phenomenon, and connect it to Bernie Sanders. There is a similarity, but not the one Jones identifies:

The same rebellion is happening in the country in both parties. The reason Hillary is still fighting is the reason that Trump won. There is a big, big discontent in this country and tonight for Bernie Sanders and we can say the same thing about Bernie, he shouldn’t be here either. I just don’t think that people get it yet. You got people sitting on a white hot stove in their houses right now and they are mad… I do think (Hillary) has got to, tonight, show that she’s got the message from both parties, the message from the Republicans, they’re mad and hurting, the message from the Democrats, they’re mad and hurting.
Jones is so close to being right, he even calls the anger “white hot,” but he just misses the absolutely crucial key to Hillary Clinton’s eventual defeat of Trump.

Since this race began, I have been predicting Trump’s victory. Just hours after he delivered his Mexican Rapists announcement speech, I predicted he would rocket to the top of the polls and stay there, and in my very first Mediaite column in over a year, predicted Trump’s victory in the 17-candidate field to a tee. I say this not just to brag (although I am doing that), but to try and get my media colleagues to understand that they need to listen to why Trump is winning, they need to stop ignoring it.

But first, allow me to rebut their ongoing theory of the case which is that this is all just a rebellion against “establishment politics” and “anger at Washington.” That argument held some water against dynastic sleepwalker Jeb Bush or Gang of Eight-er Marco Rubio, but most of the other candidates were not part of the establishment. But the greatest proof against this theory was demonstrated Tuesday night:
 
Ted Cruz, whatever else you think of him, is the most anti-establishment figure there is, and he was standing onstage with a high-powered, wealthy CEO who has never held public office, yet Trump managed to beat them all.

The reason is crystal clear, and always has been: it’s the racism, stupid. More broadly, though, it’s the racism’s kissin’ cousin, white male resentment, which isn’t just for white males. Trump has been forgiven every possible deviation from conservative orthodoxy and simple human decency because he has remained rock-steady about fighting the dirty Mexicans, the evil Muslims, and the uppity criminal blacks and their liberal allies. In his desperation, Ted Cruz actually managed to pick the only kind of hate that doesn’t sell so well anymore.

Van is onto something about Bernie Sanders, though it isn’t some general anger at Washington, either. Sanders’ largely white liberal support comes from a different strain of white resentment, a more patronizing one. While they all pay lip service to having the “right” positions on black issues, their overarching theory is that what’s good for everyone is especially good for black people, and if they’d only listen, they would get that. This is essentially what Bernie said at the beginning of his campaign, and what his campaign is still saying now. Yes, he was pressured into rolling out a racial justice platform, but even in that document, pivoted to his broader economic policies. Ask him today what needs to be done first, and his answer will be to overturn Citizens United and end economic inequality. "[Read more]

This author nails my sentiments about the current political season.

Pundits and those in the chattering class like to dance around the real reason for the rise of Donald, but no matter how they try they can't escape the reality. Just look at the majority of his supporters and listen to what they are saying.

And look, I get it. Angry working class whites who feel that they are entitled to god jobs and a Ozzie &  Harriet existence in America, cannot understand why they are losing everything, and Donald trump, with his Make America White Great Again brand, could not have come at a better time.

    At the same time media types are astonished that maybe, just maybe the white population has discovered they can play the multicultural identify politics too! Decade after decade of being told they all have silver spoons and golden parachutes to float down on as well as being the cause of all the insidious evil in the world they are fed up. Ted Cruz anti-establishment? Really? He went to all the "proper" Ivey schools, cut his teeth on Bush II 2000 campaign, argued in front of the Supreme Court and got loans from Goldman Sachs and Citibank to fund a Senate run. They didn't warn up to his presidential aspirations simply because he had not done his time in the Senate. Jumping in front of the line is considered bad form unless your historic and deeply tanned.

  3. Yes, "it's the racism, stupid," a reality that never escaped blacks in general, only the Ben Carsons of the world, those blacks who're supporting the Republican party, even after Trump won the blessing of the KKK.

    Blacks like Carson prefer white love to black love, and are not ashamed to have their actions reveal their hearts.

  10. Hail the Trumpenreich12:39 AM

    Andrew Sullivan writing in NY Magazine 5/2:

    For the white working class, having had their morals roundly mocked, their religion deemed primitive, and their economic prospects decimated, now find their very gender and race, indeed the very way they talk about reality, described as a kind of problem for the nation to overcome. This is just one aspect of what Trump has masterfully signaled as “political correctness” run amok, or what might be better described as the newly rigid progressive passion for racial and sexual equality of outcome, rather than the liberal aspiration to mere equality of opportunity.

    Much of the newly energized left has come to see the white working class not as allies but primarily as bigots, misogynists, racists, and homophobes, thereby condemning those often at the near-bottom rung of the economy to the bottom rung of the culture as well. A struggling white man in the heartland is now told to “check his privilege” by students at Ivy League colleges. Even if you agree that the privilege exists, it’s hard not to empathize with the object of this disdain. These working-class communities, already alienated, hear — how can they not? — the glib and easy dismissals of “white straight men” as the ultimate source of all our woes. They smell the condescension and the broad generalizations about them — all of which would be repellent if directed at racial minorities — and see themselves, in Hoffer’s words, “disinherited and injured by an unjust order of things.”

    And so they wait, and they steam, and they lash out. This was part of the emotional force of the tea party: not just the advancement of racial minorities, gays, and women but the simultaneous demonization of the white working-class world, its culture and way of life. Obama never intended this [LOL! He sure as fuck did. Can you say ‘bitter clingers’?], but he became a symbol to many of this cultural marginalization. The Black Lives Matter left stoked the fires still further; so did the gay left, for whom the word magnanimity seems unknown, even in the wake of stunning successes.

    This is too funny.  Field, whose whole weltanschauüng revolves around what's good for him and his race... is outraged that White people are starting to organize around what's good for themselves and the White race.  Well, what did you expect?

    Did you really expect hate crimes like the otherwise-inexplicable murder of a middle-aged plumber asleep in his own house by a Black man to go forever without some kind of a defensive reaction?  If White people marched in the streets to have such criminals put away for life and such scum kept out of White neighborhoods by law, you'd be the first on the fainting couch.  Sundown towns!  Jim Crow!  But that's exactly what would have prevented Jahkim McGhee from being in position to murder Anthony Guglielmo.


    "Angry working class whites who feel that they are entitled to god jobs and a Ozzie & Harriet existence in America, cannot understand why they are losing everything"

    They understand EXACTLY why all the jobs their teenagers used to have are now taken by brown people who speak bad or no English.  They understand exactly why the foreclosed house next door is now occupied by people who drink all the time, come and go and make noise at all hours, and have boomer cars which share their bad taste in entertainment with a vast unwilling audience.

    The TEA Party was the first noticeable wave of the backlash, but the R-jerseys of the Uniparty were able to co-opt it and defeat any move to reform.  This did not relieve the pressure.  Trump is the face of the second, more radical wave of the backlash.  He didn't start it, he's just riding it.  You have a choice here.  You can either let Trump take away most of your un-earned and illegitimate advantages, get Shitiqua's 12 felonious brats and her gang-tatted boyfriends out of the once-peaceful suburbs, and relieve that pressure... or you can raise the heat in that boiling pot for another 4-8 years.

    You can try to keep that lid on until it explodes.  If you think Trump is bad, you certainly won't like what you're going to get if that happens.

  30. "Can't be because obama's trickle down big government policies have resulted in the one of the weakest recoveries on record.Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

    Actually no.

    America's problem is the same as everyone else's. Global capitalism's profits are falling, this in turn leads to a drop in investment which leads to a drop in productivity and thus a recession, as we have experienced from 2008 to the present day (variously described by economists as ‘The Great Depression’, ‘The Long Depression’ or ‘The Epic Depression’).

    Now conventional economic wisdom holds the way economies get out of a recession (or large negative demand shock, as economists call them) is that lower demand lowers output and employment. Workers have to cut their wages, and firms follow with price cuts. This fall in inflation leads central banks to cut real interest rates, this restores demand, and hey presto employment and output rise to pre-recession levels.

    However, this hasn't worked, we have had near zero interest rates throughout the developed world and the world's economies remain in deep trouble. Nobody knows for sure why this is. Not Obama, not The Fed, not the OECD, not the ECB and certainly not Donald Trump.

    There are two rival theories currently being debated in an attempt to explain the problem. The Keynsians (Stieglitz, Brad DeLong, Krugman etc) on the one hand and the Marxists (Roberts, Rasmus, Sheikh etc) on the other.

    To cut a very long story short, the Keynsian view is that the crash of 2008 was caused by a lack of demand which lead to a crisis of investment, and that the continuing depression we are experiencing is caused by the Austerity policies of many of the western world’s capitalists governments who are waiting patiently for the magic confidence fairy to return. “If you take away government spending, where is growth going to come from?” they say.

    The Marxist response is, to say the crash was caused by a lack of demand is a bit like saying “it’s sunny outside because the sun is shinning” – technically correct, but an analysis that teaches us nothing. In short, the Keynsians are describing a symptom rather than the cause.

    Why was there a lack of demand? The crisis, the Marxists say, was caused by a global crisis of capitalist profitability, which in turn has lead to the lack of investment and the ensuing fall.

    So that's a simplified precis of the debate, either the governments of the western world did not spend enough money to boost the economy post crash, or global capitalism is structurally fucked. One thing's for sure we will know who is right within three years.

    Certainly blaming Obama for a crisis he didn't cause, and that nobody else knows how to fix either, is about as worthwhile a pastime as hoping that the hopeless fuckwit Trump who inherited a fortune and blew it, might know how to solve the problem. Don't hold your breath.

    Yes, the ones who allowed corporations to export jobs while joining with Democrats to provide cheap labor to their big business donors certainly did hate Americans.

    But Trump has destroyed that Republican Party.

    The crony capitalists are now all Democrats. Trump has said very clearly that American economic and immigration policies will be structured to benefit Americans. The neocons are in the process of going back to the Democrat party they came from as Trump has told them the days of sending Americans to die in the Middle East for Israel are over.

    "Global capitalism's profits are falling, this in turn leads to a drop in investment which leads to a drop in productivity"

    Good little sheep, baa-ing the party line in perfect harmony.

    The problem isn't capitalism, but globalism and banksterism.  The globalists are using their arbitrage to undercut local industry in the West and skimming most of the margin for themselves.  This extracts capital mostly from the West.  Western businesses can't compete with imports that can be made cheaper at any time to put them out of business.  Zero interest rates don't matter because they can't pay back loans, and with their employees increasingly out of work their customer base is shrinking.  It doesn't matter how much money the Fed prints, the globalists have engineered a situation where there are no qualified borrowers.  The printed funds pump up the banks' balance sheets and make them look flush, and justify the banksters' huge compensation packages.  Meanwhile the real economy is bled dry.


    "Now conventional economic wisdom holds the way economies get out of a recession (or large negative demand shock, as economists call them) is that lower demand lowers output and employment."

    The conventional wisdom leads to the banksters foreclosing on all the unpayable loans and owning everything.  That is what they're after.

    "we have had near zero interest rates throughout the developed world and the world's economies remain in deep trouble."

    Returns to savers went to zero.  No money came back into the economy, so demand shrank.  This is not hard to understand, unless you have the brains of a cow (of any color).

    "Many jobs were shipped overseas during Republican administrations, do Republicans hate Americans?"

    Globalists hate Americans, along with almost all nations.

    "Those sundown towns and communities they live in are not natural but enforced by their hatred."

    The all-White communities and sundown towns kept your pathologies at a safe distance.  Thanks to your enthusiastic support for the thugs in Fergadishu a couple years ago, they're re-learning WHY those laws and towns existed in the first place.  They'll conclude it was a really good idea.

    They don't wish to do you any harm.  They just don't want to deal with you any more, and the more you protest, demand and destroy the more you harden their resolve.

    I agree. Although I'm not sure who you mean as the "founding population". Because they for sure aren't around any more, and it's common knowledge on whose backs,blood,sweat and tears the nations wealth was built. So perhaps you meant that as inclusive of all who have 'founded' the nation,dunno, but either way I do agree, and it is my sincere hope that he will be able to take on the task and accomplish and succeed at it. Because it's kinda helter skelter right now. As I see it anyway. My uneducated opinion. Which is why I don't like to opine on political matters but...I do anyway :)

    Over here we're all just swimming to keep our heads above water right now, and I don't know if that will change for the better or get worse! As it is, a great number of professionals have left the island and are now working in the states.

    "Trump has told them the days of sending Americans to die in the Middle East for Israel are over."


    Not so sure that is true. He was in full pander mode at AIPAC. That doesn't sit well with me.

    "So when you pull the lever for Hillary, know that you are voting for everything you say you are against."

    Not so much, I truest her to appoint SC justices who are more attuned to my point of view than any Republican appointee. Presidents will come and go but SC justices will affect us for the rest of our lives. Hilldog isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination but she is light years ahead in her views than any and all Republican candidates especially Trump who is a sexist at best and a racist at worst but I suspect he isn't racist but is accepting them for their votes. Trump's negatives outweigh Hill's.

    I agree. Although I'm not sure who you mean as the "founding population". Because they for sure aren't around any more, and it's common knowledge on whose backs,blood,sweat and tears the nations wealth was built.

    1. Native peoples did not found America. America was a vast, sparsely populated wilderness inhabited by cruel and primitive cultures. There was nothing here except tribal confederations engaged in continuous genocidal warfare. No tribe held any territory for more than a few decades before they were driven off by another tribe.

    2. Slave labor did not create America's wealth, no more than did the labor of horses and oxen. Look around and see how much of the America of 1860 is still around.

    The 'founding population' is obviously Anglo-America. Since then, we've had two additional tsunamis of immigration, the first occurring in the late 19th and early 20th C. with a denouement in laws like the Immigration Act of 1924, the second is the current one from Mexico/Central America and to some degree Asia.

    It doesn't look to me like the second one will result in any kind of integration or slow down in numbers, the (mostly) Mexicans are self-organizing at a fast enough clip to pull off a form of colonization. I doubt that Trump and the movement he might represent have the mojo to slow this down.

    Blacks are playing a sort of bit part in this, so it's probably not a great topic for this blog. Why they would vote in favor of a pro-massive immigration party of any kind is a mystery to me, but then a lot of people don't vote in their own self-interest. Maybe it's enough to see Euro-Americans get a comeuppance.

    "Maybe it's enough to see Euro-Americans get a comeuppance."

    Blacks are fine with the ship going down, as long as the white man drowns first.

    I really think this is the motivating factor behind most of those who support mass third world immigration. This would include blacks and self-hating whites, and of course the architects of this policy, Jews.

    Hispanics on the other hand favor mass immigration because they are racist and want America to be majority-Hispanic, disregarding the fact that should that happen, things would start to look just like the home country did.

    Jews know that the New America will be a poorer, weaker, more divided polity, but figure they'll never again have to worry about credible rivals when it comes to running things. As far as most other non-white groups are concerned, I really don't think they have put enough thought into just how much they stand to lose after white America has been dismantled.

    Think Brazil with snow. That's the plan.

  53. I personally like Mexicans. Love Mexican food and watching Club America play soccer. The more Mexicans the better.

    Sadly,though, I think that more Mexicans are leaving than.coming in.
    Here in Philly we have lots of illegal Eastern Europeans, I welcome them as well. Even though I don't like Ukrainian food.

    Sorry for rambling.I am just trying to get my inner trump on

    BTW, I think we should start a movement to get O on Mt.Rushmore.

    There are planes leaving from Philadelphia to Mexico City daily. If airfare is a stretch for you, I'm sure we could raise some donations. Put me down for $100, as long as it's a one way ticket.

    This blog is so racist and stupid it is not surprising there are only 5-6 regulars. Pilot and Y-whatsername post such drivel it is interesting only to them.

    Other than Lilac, few have anything intelligent to say, including FN. Too bad. I would like to read a blog with an intelligent POV. I won't even bother asking for suggestions.

  57. We have to get an airport named after barack first. My guess is it's going to be O'Hare/Obama Int'l. That will P.O. A lot of RWers but hell if I have to hear them refer to Bush and Reagan they can handle Obama. Though I already dig that ATL, BWI and MSY are already named after brothas and I make sure to let the passengers know.

    Great suggestion PilotX. Lets name all the airports after negroes, and replace all the Presidents on our currency with illiterate black women.

  59. And to your point, I have many good friends that are of Mexican ancestry and I know the stories of how their parents or grandparents came to Chicago. I couldn't in good conscious cast a vote for Trump. Hopefully Illinois won't be in play so I can vote for none of the above but if it's close I'll have to hold my nose and go back to the clintons.

    I don't have a problem with Mexicans either. I'd just like to know what makes them "White" when some of them are 50 shades darker than me.

    IMHO there are 4 races, Black, White Brown, and Whooteemoo.

    Just ask the Department of Justice.

    Mexicans are "White" when they commit a crime against a black person.

    Mexicans are "Hispanic" when they are the victim of crime perpetrated by a white or black person.

    That's right, to the DOJ, Hispanics are listed as a hate crime victim category but not as a perpetrator category. Offenders can only be white, black, Indian/Eskimo, or Asian, so despite the fact that Hispanics are the second largest group in the country, as offenders they are lumped in with whites, which inflates the white offense rate and gives the impression that Hispanics commit no hate crimes.

    Our government be like that.

    I used to hunt regularly in South Texas. The Javelinas were some of the stinking, worm-infested, creatures I ever saw, or smelled.

    I used to pop them, just for the fun.

    Now, you couldn't just let them lay there...they were considered a "waste animal".

    We would chunk them in the back of the truck, take them into Harlingen, look for a bunch of illegal immigrants, and tell them to make some wormy burritos.

    They were most thankful.

    Not a stretch wingnut, been to Cancun a few times and I had a wonderful time.

    Never been to Mexico City, though. I hope to visit one day. I suspect that it's like being in Denver (altitude) with better food.

    Oh, and send that $100. I promise to put it to good use.

    Don't you think you're being a bit too hard on yourself? Why would you call yourself a "lying, ungrateful immigrant"?

  71. Can totally relate, Mr. Field, about the need to pursue other interests.

    Also very much in agreement with posters citing your invaluable contribution to the political and social conversation.

    Not to mention, the FN Blog has brought together a variety of thought-provoking perspectives. And equally enlightening (when engaged in respected discourse) is the contrast between conservative and progressive viewpoints.

    On a humorous note, it eventually seems Anon et al will be in need of new stomping grounds. Whatever will they do once the lights are out...
