Gloria in Excelsis Emeagwali,
Many thanks for the explanation. I had thought that Trump was doing his best to rope in the working class of America, that it was a move worthy of Bernie Sanders and that perhaps at his next rally rant Trump would be leading his folk to chant not Beasts of England, but Beasts of America with he himself as their chief prig, grand wizard and choirmaster. We now understand his self-serving spiel about skills above degrees. As dear Mitt Romney said about Trump, " His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University"
Salman Rushdie warns America : I've seen dictators rise and fall. Beware America
Good to know : Hujjat-Allah al-Mahdi ( alaihi salaam)
To tell you the truth, I'm really missing Brother Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the former President of Iran, especially since Iran issued a warrant for Trump's arrest. There's no doubt that at this stage of human and international affairs Mahmoud would have been exchanging some verbal fire with the Donald, the taghut. Only Ahmadinejad had the requisite chutzpah quality that would have been correctly targeting the devil in the White House, after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, now alive with the Martyrs.
It took the murder of George Floyd and Trump's total lack of reaction to blot Trump out of my good book, permanently.
Reality check: If Brother Obama did not even mention the word "REPARATIONS" during his eight long years in the Oval Office , then for a surety Joe Biden is not going to be the one who will mention or take up the good fight that his boss Obama failed to do. A really Black President would have had Reparations at the top of his agenda.
I'm not a racist, however, I agree most wholeheartedly with Biden when he says, "You ain't Black" - if you vote for Trump . Reparations is the very last thing that Trump would advocate – at best he would tell his folks, "Reparations? Over my dead body! Let them go back to Africa, to get reparations there." Donald Trump is not the kind of guy who would be willing to die on the cross for a Black man.
I'm not a racist, but I wouldn't vote for Mister Hitler or a White Supremacist either.
Note that Trump is doing this mainly for his non- College degree White supporters, some of whom are KKK, but other folks will pass through the door in the process.--GESent from my iPhoneOn Jun 30, 2020, at 7:06 PM, Cornelius Hamelberg <hamelbergcornelius4@gmail.com> wrote:The long-standing issue of Reparations wasn't taken up by Brother Obama (Luo father from Kenya) not during his first term as first Black President ever and not in the Second term either. If he had as much as raised the issue during his first term, it's almost certain that he would not have served a second term, based on these sort of arguments advanced by David Horowitz long before Obama set foot in the White House. The idea of Reparations, of so called "Black Privilege", of painting the White House BLACK – the colour of the occupant, would have succeeded in dividing the USA as never before and would have also only succeeded in enraging Trump and his White Supremacists and most likely witnessed an increase in USA-Police-Brutality as an inevitable backlash – part of the unwritten policy as a general consensus and tacit understanding of "keeping niggers in their place", of " keeping the niggers in check"
For that reason, Obama did not take up the Reparations cause in the second term either ( Trump would have asked for a more thorough examination of Brother Obama's Birth Certificate and would have probably started a Back-to-Africa Crusade, to the lands of Obama's ancestors and for the Black, African and African-American Brothers and Sisters - if Brother Obama had insisted. Needless to say, neither Pa nor Ma Clinton pushed the idea either.
Even though Black Lives Matter and the somewhat counter-revolutionary All Lives Matter is the immediate background to the next presidential elections , Reparations is still not in the air.
The question remains, if not now, when?
In the meanwhile, Trump is busy selling himself as the law and order President appointed by God, approved by God and the Founding Fathers, after Obama, and especially sent by God to protect America's sacred monuments and confederate legacies.
Trump is currently expanding his base to incorporate skills over degrees…
With improved vocational training, a similar policy would develop fruits in Nigeria, although - perish the thought - for some of Nigeria's Big Buk and, even if they have not ever been near the Palace, some of the Buckingham Palace Big Grammar people the idea of skills over degrees in the employment market, is anathema
It goes without saying, that skills is the essence of Germany's industrial pre-eminence, whilst a lack of the requisite manpower requirements is why the Chinese move in with their complete workforce to execute whatever project, in record time….
