Donald Trump’s War on Black People

[Wargames]

I was just going to post this in TLR but it occurred to me there just needs to be a single thread where we document the shyt Donald Trump is doing to black people so next black history month people don’t get excited about him throwing a damn picnic in the White House, as if that means anything.

Trump fired General CQ Brown, the first Black person to lead a branch of the military, one day after his Black History Month event at the White House.

[Quoted tweet]
Trump has announced via social media post that he is ousting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown and will be replacing him with Air Force Lieutenant General Dan 'Razin' Caine.

Whenever I hear Trump heap praise on one of his appointments I recall the glowing words he had for another: “General Mattis is the living embodiment of the Marine Corps motto Semper Fidelis, ‘always faithful.’”
“He is a man of honor, a man of devotion and a man of total action.”
Later, Trump decided Mattis was “the world’s most overrated General.” When Trump takes such dramatic U-turns, MAGA never wonders about his judgment. Or maybe they’re fearful of saying something out loud.

I expected that. Gen. Brown is not White enough, not that he couldn’t do the job.

Why was he appointed by Biden?

So you’re saying he should have kept him on because he’s black? Or because it’s black history month, he def shouldn’t have fired him because he’s black? How about his color has nothing to do with it?

Not white enough and not enough of a Trump dikkrider of course

@GovLibs
See how a real leader can celebrate black Americans while also not letting race cloud his judgement by leaving a black leader in the military who was partly responsible for the tragic Afghanistan withdrawal.

Just because someone is black, doesn’t mean they deserve to lead. General CQ Brown led a good career, but he fukked up big time and American soldiers died.

Thank you for your service, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General CQ Brown.
You deserve so much better than how you’ve been treated by Trump.

I honestly didn't think it would be this targeted and flagrant and I obviously hold an extremely negative view of Trump and the Republican party

Right now they are trying to prevent off brand habibi Trump from running for mayor.




Check out this article from Detroit Free Press:

Dearborn clerk deems GOP activist ineligible to run for mayor due to felonies

Dearborn clerk deems GOP activist ineligible to run for mayor due to felonies

Hassan Aoun has been an outspoken activist in Dearborn in recent years.

www.freep.com

Aoun, who supported President Donald Trump last year, is running on a platform of "Make Dearborn Great Again," claiming the city is led by corrupt politicians who are too left wing on social issues and soft on crime. He's challenging Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who told the Free Press on Thursday he is running for reelection. Hammoud, 34, elected in November 2021, is seeking a second four-year term to lead the city of 110,000 residents, citing his accomplishments in reducing crime, fighting polluters and reckless drivers, and investing in infrastructure such as building new parks while maintaining harmony amid national attention during the Gaza war and presidential election. Another candidate, Nagi Almudhegi, 50, may announce his run for mayor on Sunday, according to social media posts by his supporters. Almudhegi, who spoke at the protests against some LGBTQ+ books in Dearborn schools, did not return a message Thursday seeking comment.

Much of the Black middle class was built by federal jobs. That may change.

For the last several decades, federal jobs helped Black workers find stable work with guardrails to prevent bias, but mass cuts are threatening decades of upward mobility.

www.nbcnews.com

A really good article on how all this federal firing ends one of the most consistent ways for black people to get into the middle class. Trump sold the firing as being aimed at only black people, and while it’s not, the effect is still the same.
