![]() Others, of course, end up murdered even before arrest. Crime, of course, is a pathway to prison - a perfect system for keeping blacks in their place: under the subjugation of whites. ![]() Some of them find paths to a better life, but many more have ended up in shackles, just like their ancestors, because the obstacles placed before them were insurmountable.īoxed out of education and employment opportunities, many turn to crime. The country is filled with millions of Kevin Durants. The shameful legacy of slavery is what created the conditions for a boy named Kevin Durant to be born into poverty with limited resources and opportunities with which to improve his circumstances for a chance at realizing the American Dream. The “so-called” President of the United States of America - in 2017 - is essentially opining for those good ol’ days of slavery, back when things were in a “natural order,” with humans of African descent declared three-fifths human, and little more than upright work horses and glorified mules. It is no wonder so many Americans, Kevin Durant among them, are in a state of disgust. (Plantation owners seeking to continue reaping vast profits from free labor surely had nothing to do with it.) Confederate politicians asserted white-over-“negro” superiority was God’s law, that subjugation of the “negro” was in accordance with natural order. The Confederate States of America lasted four years of the nation’s 241-year history and came to be made up of 11 states that sought to secede from the United States (the “union”) rather than abide the abolition of slavery. On Thursday, Trump tweeted remarks opining the removal of confederate statues and monuments, showing exactly where his heart and mind really are, and where he would like for this country to be also - back in the hate-filled Confederacy. These include Trump’s alleged treasonous path to the Oval Office with help from the Russian government and the apparent soft spot he has for neo-Nazis, white nationalists and members of the KKK. He surrounds himself with people who worship him and tell him what he wants to hear and shuns those who dare not overlook the many troubling issues hovering over his presidency. Trump’s seven-month presidency has put a spotlight on just how fragile his ego really is. Others, meanwhile, are expressing regret for casting a vote on his behalf. ![]() The White House is in tatters with no end to the chaos in sight, with some calling for Trump’s impeachment. Then again, after business leaders from across the country fled Trump’s business councils in droves this week - forcing him to shut them all down to save face instead of endure continued humiliation - it is unlikely a celebratory invitation would be extended. Kevin Durant’s sharp, yet insightful statements about the prospect of fulfilling a lifelong dream to celebrate an NBA Championship with a trip to the White House indicate he is of the same mind. Citizen Whose Dreams Are Crushed, Thanks to Donald J. File this situation neatly to: Another U.S.
