Well, first of all, I take note of the absence of sympathy and the overwhelming abundance of blame.
And I would call it like this a kind of melanated scapegoat.
Melanated scapegoating, a kind of color-coded blaming.
And I take note of the fact that the president has literally turned an acronym, DEI, into another acronym, REI, namely Race and Ethnic Incitement.
Incitement as in...
incitement to professionally marginalize black people, black workers.
When you think about the fact that we have army pilots and air traffic controllers whose competence is being called into question with no facts, no evidence, the contents of the black box yet unknown.
And the first act of the president
the commander in chief, the consoler in chief is not to speak to the grieving victims, the families, a nation, but it is to literally scapegoat black people.
This shows a level of moral vacuousness
uh that is hard to wrap your head around and going back to the clip that we began this segment with namely your clip calling the president a racist you were in fact true yeah you weren't necessarily prophetic or prescient you were in fact taking note of the facts so here we are today
With President Trump in the White House for a second time, and literally his racism is manifest, it's obvious to anyone who's willing to take note of what's happening.
It is it is racism.
But oddly enough, there's also incompetence.
And here's what I mean.
at a moment in which we literally have bodies in the Potomac River.
a moment in which we had the plane still in the river.
The president doesn't issue a charge to the nation to surround these families, one.
Number two, he doesn't issue a charge to collect the facts, bring the facts forward, bring the facts forward in the most transparent and expeditious fashion.
What he does is take it as a political opportunity to weaponize Black people.
