Reconsidering "going high."

636143897377684265-1010514623-NYWEL-0113.JPG"I have to give it to the Obamas, they are full of nothing but class and grace. "When they go low we go high".

Still, with all due respect to the first lady, in the age of Breitbart, the alt-right, and Stormfront, going "high" will not get you much. These folks play dirty, and they always go low. Unfortunately, sometimes you have to go low with them. These types of people do not respect grace.  Believe me, they might praise you in public, but they laugh at you behind closed doors.

Anyway, now that trump has been elected to the most powerful office on earth, his lemmings and followers have been emboldened to do what deplorable people do.

Consider all that has been happening since election night.

"A female student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette was beaten, robbed and had her hijab ripped off by two men, one of them wearing a white "Trump" hat, police and university officials said.
Police say a Louisiana college student has acknowledged she fabricated her report that she was assaulted and robbed of her wallet and Muslim headscarf by two men, one of whom she described as wearing a white "Trump" hat.
In a separate incident on Wednesday, a Muslim student at San Diego State University was robbed and may have had her car stolen Wednesday by two men who made comments about President-elect Donald Trump and Muslims, according to police and university officials, who called the attack a hate crime.
The two attacks occurred within hours of each other on a day marked by widespread protests over the Republican nominee's surprising victory against Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's presidential election.
Around 11 a.m., a female UL-Lafayette student was walking down a residential street near campus when two white males jumped out of a gray four-door sedan and hit her with a metal object, knocking her to the ground, university police told the Advertiser. The men tore off the woman's head wrap, took her wallet and hit her while she was down, police said. The woman reported one of the suspects was wearing a white hat that had "Trump" on it." [Source]
And right here in Philly.
"Donald Trump's unexpected rise to the presidency coincided with the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht — and Nazis in Philadelphia appeared to revel in the fact as police there discovered the President-elect's name spray-painted alongside swastikas on a storefront window Wednesday morning.
Cops were alerted of the racist vandalism around 10:30 a.m. and quickly deployed power wash crews to remove the graffiti from the storefront on the city's south side." [Source]

That's just the tip of the very messy iceberg, there were other incidents all over the country to ponder as well.

Anyway, the president spent 90 minutes with the man who launched his political career by calling him a non-citizen ("When they go low"), and from all accounts it went as well as could be expected.

I have to give it to the president for being so gracious to trump. But sadly, that is not what all the people who are still hurting from trump's upset victory want to see. Not when his (trump's) people are still going low.


"A Minnesota-based Asian American woman was put in handcuffs on Wednesday after attempting to fight off a Trump supporter who grabbed her and shouted racial slurs at her. 
Kathy Mirah Tu wrote in a now-viral Facebook post that a white male screamed at her to “Go back to Asia,” and then chased after her when she tried to ignore him, saying “Don’t you know it’s disrespectful to walk away from someone when they are talking to you?”
After informing the man that she is an American citizen, the man told her that the only reason she was able to attend college was affirmative action and grabbed her by the wrist.
Refusing her requests to let go, the Trump supporter said “I don’t understand why you are walking away from me when I am trying to have a conversation with you. I told you that it’s rude and you should listen to me cause I know a lot more than you do.”
Still grabbing her wrist, the man tried to get her to fight him, laughing at how “small and shrimpy” she was. Tu punched him in the throat to get away, after which the Trump supporters called the police and accused her of assault.
Tu says she felt that the officers were more inclined to listen to the Trump supporter’s side of things, citing that his friends were “witnesses” and put her in handcuffs while they ran her information, which came up clean and prompted her release." [Source]
"When they go low we go high."
Tell that to Kathy Mirah Tu.

  12. I think even the fruitcakes who spend their time 'training in the woods' and posting their deluded nuttiness on white nationalist forums have the wit to know this is not the 1950s; and blacks, hispanics, decent whites and others are not going to react to aggression with merely peaceful demonstrations like they did back then.

    Protest is when you say I don't like something, resistance is when you act to stop what you don't like from happening.

    Trump's Chumps will experience the latter not the former.

    I am a trans woman of color - I am 1/4 Nigerian, 1/4 Laotian, 1/4 Arapaho and 1/4 Sephardic Jewish. Today as I was walking my Labradoodle I saw a group of Trump supporters riding in a rusty pickup truck with a rifle rack and MAGA stickers all over the bumper. As the toxic emission-spewing truck approached, I felt my chestnut brown skin begin to crawl ... The truck inched closer, closer, closer ... then one of the toothless white men leaned out of the window and began to shout:

    'HEY, LADY, GET OUTTA THE ROAD! THERE'S A CAR COMIN' STRAIGHT ATCHA!"

    And sure enough, a some spoiled little Latino twit and his nappy-headed black friend were barreling straight at me in a Prius, not even looking where they were going. I stepped back onto the curb at the last second, then when I regained my breath I thanked the wonderful Trump supporter who saved my life. He said don't mention it, then gave me copy of 'The Art of The Deal,' Donald Trump's bestselling book. I have read it cover to cover, and let me tell you, it has changed my life.

    God bless America. A new sun is rising; the next four years are going to be amazing!

    "Still, with all due respect to the first lady, in the age of Breitbart, the alt-right, and Stormfront, going "high" will not get you much. These folks play dirty, and they always go low."

    Riiiight.  "The officer behaved stupidly."  "We gave them space to destroy."

    Go as high as you can go, and an ant can still walk over you and not notice the bump.


    "sometimes you have to go low with them."

    You started there.  We've seen your riots and arsons.  We've seen your Zebra murders.  The lying lamestream media can't cover your crimes now, and the cucks can't keep position.  The threat of the right is the KKKrazy Glue that held your coalition of fringes together, and your parade of lies and threats is the acetone that has dissolved it.  Fergadishu, Bodymore and the rest are increasingly viewed as proof that the KKK was right.

    "Police say a Louisiana college student has acknowledged she fabricated her report"

    Missed that little bit, didn't you?  You've been hate-hoaxing since long before Tawana Brawley.  Emmett Till was a hate hoax.  Till was a rapist, like his (rightfully tried, convicted and executed) father before him.

    Since we now have a museum of Black history on the mall in DC, I can see an appropriation to properly describe young Till's behavior on the fateful day and list his father's misdeeds for all to see.


    "So FN repeats already proven false stories to bolster his confirmation bias."

    That's his idea of "going high".

    "go suck down some gasoline and a match!!"

    And here we have the epitome of the NAPA "going high":  threatening to burn people to death, in the exact manner an African animal did to the elderly, inoffensive Paul Monchnik in Detroit.

    When you finally drive the American people from weariness to rage, you will be treated better than that even though you don't deserve it.

    "All you Neanderthal trolls should have the guts to look at these"

    Whine, whine, hoax, whine.  You project your hate onto the people you hate.  You excuse the real hate, like this, with a wave of the hand and words like "the legacy of Jim Crow".

    All you do is prove that you have causality backwards.  You don't act like animals because of Jim Crow; Jim Crow was enacted because you act like animals, and the last 50 years have proven that its authors were absolutely correct and justified.

    Blaxit is still on the table.  For now.  Take it while there's still enough law and order for you to make it, because when the flag goes up there will be no safe passage.  Not to Africa, not to anywhere.

    Apparently.  Given that he pushes already-admitted hate hoaxes in this forum, I have to wonder if he is just as sloppy in his "legal" work.  Does disbarment in the USA affect his status back home?

    Say, kinda funny that he found chilly (and "racist") Michigan so much more to his liking than Jamaica, isn't it?  You have to view everything he writes as a lie, because if he felt it was true he would never do what he has done, or live where he has lived.

  24. Well, James, thanks for looking. Maybe there are others here who don't use the defense mechanism of "hoax" or "they do it too" and any other form of self-deceit. If we can contributing to flipping one racist into an empathic human being, it will have been worth it.

    A pastor I knew once said "There's no better place for a sinner than in church." If there's no hope of redemption, James, why are you in church? You protest too much, I think. Listen to yourself. You desperately want to be proven wrong. That won't happen here,it's the wrong forum. Make some new friends, liberal ones, or minority ones that sound honest in the ways you can measure. Then shut up and listen.

  26. I am concerned like you that trump supporters will be emboldened... I think the difference now is The Obamas have shown us the pinnace of possibilities. There are certain freedoms we have earned just because they taught us we as a people are just as capable when we are emboldened to follow big dreams. This is not to say the fight is over. It is to say that going backward by way of law will be resisted with a level of know how bigots have never faced.

    Uncertain Trumpet,

    The election expressed the will of the people just as it did in 2008 and 2012. In this election, Hillary will have lost even the popular vote by the time counting is done. That gap is closing hour by hour. Even CNN projects Trump will take the popular vote as well. Yet think your will is above the will of the people and you propose violent demonstrations as you hide behind your screen name. In this, you expose the truth about your kind. You are cry-bully cowards and everybody knows it.

  38. Trump did not win the election, the Democrats lost it.

    1. Trump was well short of Mitt Romney’s popular vote in 2012

    2. Trump was also slightly short of McCain’s vote in 2008,

    3. HRC polled 10 million fewer votes than Obama in 2008

    4. HRC polled 6 million fewer votes than Obama in 2012.

    The Democrat voters did not switch to Donald Trump, they simply did not vote.

  42. Obama, Bernie and Trump were all media savvy enough to brand themselves as individuals. Trump went further, coining “Crooked Hillary,” a surprisingly original moniker that stuck because it is both catchy and true. Despite decades of high negatives and exploitable scandal, Senator Sanders still believed he couldn’t win without Hillary Clinton, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC machine, whose primary task for the past 24 years has been elevating the Clintons’ political and financial prestige. While Obama, Bernie and Trump created massive movements of first-time voters incalculable to modern polling or media, Candidate Clinton’s “I’m With Her” slogan was as awkward as her logo, which resembled a robotic swastika flower — DNC focus groups had likely shown the Hillary and Clinton brands elicited too many negative reactions.
    Hopefully this debacle will finally delegitimate America’s two party system, but this can only happen through the abolition of the electoral college. Other reforms are pressing — Citizen’s United, gerrymandering, disenfranchisement of minority and convicted voters — but the current system inculcates justifiable apathy. A switch to logical majority rule will still elicit more cheap reality TV elections, but at least the most legitimately popular person will win. Like it or not, personalty has always been the most important factor in elected politics and the viewers have spoken — the Clintons have been written out of next season’s political script. Casting starts now, but aspiring politicians would obviously be better served by a Hollywood agent than the Republican or Democratic National Committees.

    "If we can contributing to flipping one racist into an empathic human being, it will have been worth it."

    The North American Pavement Ape has no empathy.  It's psychopathic, and grins its golliwog grin as it's being escorted into the courtroom to answer charges of murder.  Brutal racist attacks like this have been commonplace during the 0bama administration, and one of the things I look forward to as 1/20/2017 approaches is an end to them.  Even now police are cracking down on Black criminals as the termination date for the Black DOJ's reign of error approaches.

    I can empathize with the NAPA; I understand somewhat where it's coming from, having been forced to by time and circumstance.  What's never going to happen is sympathy.  There is nothing in the NAPA to sympathize with.  It's less worthy of it than my cat.
