Barbadians have a strong interest in what unravels in the United States. We may debate why this is the case- an abundance of US news feeds streaming into our homes via FLOW, DIGICEL and Internet devices 24b hours a day, family members living in the USA, we travel there to further our studies and on recreation the list is long.

The BU household also has a keen interest in the outcome of the midterms later tonight, it will be a referendum on Trump’s tenure for sure.

    The entitled are the racists!!

    Hilary Clinton is entitled to be president, Donald Trump is not.

    The entitled have separated people into two races, one that is entitled and one that isn’t.

    How many times have you heard the Hildebeast call Trump a racist and yet Trump never calls her a racist … crooked yes, but never a racist!!

    It is beyond Trump’s and the Republican’s comprehension to come up with the logic of separating people into two groups!!

    … but not so Hilary and the Democrats!!

    So one party speaks of racism and the other doesn’t!!

    I have always said the only person who can identify a racist is a racist because there is only one human race!!

    A racist has to be able to identify two or more groups.

    The dividers in America are the Democrats, Obama and Hilary!!

    The Republicans and Trump are too busy getting on with life to waste time being racist!!

    I would be surprised if the Trumpians don’t win. These white people are scared that they will soon become a minority. That is a VERY STRONG motivator. Even those who are not deeply racist baulk at the thought of not being in control. They hold their noses and vote for His Vileness and hope that it doesn’t get too bad for the non-white people. In the meantime of course, it does because the extremists intend that it should.

    Despite the fact that there are more Democrats than Republicans, the Republicans have been busy suppressing the vote and extreme gerrymandering for years. There is much to overcome for the MAJORITY DEMOCRATS to win over the MINORITY REPUBLICANS. This is why I am pessimistic.

    There may very well be one human race but those who considered themselves white are the ones who defined blackness as being one drop of black blood as though this was a contaminant. They wrote their LAWS to enforce this belief. Under severe duress they changed their laws but they maintain many of their policies and procedures. Those who point this out are not the dividers.

    Why would Trump not make an issue of these photographs if they were actually REAL? Even so, I know of people who really loved their ‘MAMMIE” as long as she knew her place. The problem is always when one gets “uppity.”

    IMO Case in point. You are a very good example of ANY narrative being king.

    Suppose DJT is indeed a racist and Hilary is indeed a crook? On the other hand maybe Hilary is not a crook and DJT not a racist?
    What every happened to “innocent before proven guilty” a hallmark of American jurisprudence?

    But your narrative as it comes over to me is that Hilary continue to call DJT a racist but DJT never calls her a racist but he calls her a crook. Being called a racist is worse than being crook. Also Hilary has no proof therefore DJT cannot be a racist, but DJT has proof of Hilary’s crookery so he is quite okay to say such? Actually DJT has proof of any allegation he makes so it ok for him to do such becuae ……..

    To be fair both need to shut up and call each other Lady or Gentleman if they have no proof of the other’s wrong doing(s). But that will never happen. The FALSE equivalence of the name calling is just boils down to “pushing the/any narrative”

    My question is what ever happen to TRUTH, AND THE JADEO-CHRISTIAN VALUES THAT MANY AMERICAN CLAIM IS THE BEDROCK OF THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE.

    Once TRUTH has been decided on as “not a necessity” Racist or Truthers or whatever they are will be King and politicians will use their mega-phones to do the work to the “invisible hands” that guide them unless they are “in touch with the truth and GOD”

    If we manage to make every thing about MONEY and ECONOMICS; we will worship at the feet of the Economist and pray to and for the almighty Dollar. Yet many claim they are/we are a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY?NATION.

    I will show you the simple difference which you seem to get without actually getting it.

    It is Trump and his supporters … a collectivization …

    … and … Hilary … an individual.

    Even if Trump were indeed racist, by collectivizing he and his supporters it creates a mass target.

    If Hilary is crooked that is Hilary’s problem … ALONE!!

    You see the difference!!

    The law deals with Hilary.

    Communism, socialism, fascism … the left … seeks power by separating into two collectives those who are with the left and rewarding them, from those who are not with the left and harming.

    Racism is a natural attribute of the left … as is atheism.

    God made us individually, not as a collective.

    If Hilary is a crook, Hilary goes down … or should!!

    Individual vs collective.

    Law is clear!!

    As far as the left is concerned, if Trump is a racist Trump goes down … but his supporters must too.

    … and for that to happen the left has to go outside of the law.

    Trump’s position is the more logical, natural and just and far less likely to create strife!!

    So, you see how the modern racism has little to do with colour!!

    Ninth Commandment:

    “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Exodus 20:16). Simply put, this commandment encourages you to speak the truth. “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour” (Ephesians 4:25). People who misrepresent others or spread rumors about a person’s character bear false witness. “Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips” (Proverbs 24:28).

    Eighth Commandment:

    “Thou shalt not steal” (Exodus 20:15). This commandment encompasses more than just the taking of physical property. It also includes any gain dishonestly acquired. For example, cheating on a time card or failing to disclose income on a tax document is stealing.

    Third Commandment:

    “Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain” (Exodus 20:7). Taking the name of the Lord in vain can have various meanings. The most common meaning is using the names of Deity as profanity. Another is professing to have taken Christ’s name upon you as a Christian and yet not living His gospel.

    Above are three of the ten commandments given. Christian nations and professing Christians will quickly quote you something along these lines as a rebuke to you either as a child or grown adult if they find u in breach.

    Our society also have many laws that based on the these 10 major rules. In some cases we will imprison those that have broken these guidelines.

    My attention is focused on the Ninth Commandment. No God centred bible believing Christian who claims to put God in the forefront has any right to be associated him/herself with any person seeking political office if that person is knowingly in breach of the 9th commandment.

    For example, DJT has said things about Ted Cruz’s family that breach the 9th Commandment. Call him out and rebuke him but dont kissy up to him or excuse his behaviour becuase is a a newbie etc. But politics is a nasty game and a blood sport.

    IMO DJT continues to breach the 9th commandment. To me it not a coincidence but a pattern of behaviour. by their action will you came to know them. (Matthew 7:20 So then, by their fruit you will recognize them.)

    I don’t have much time for or make any time for Liars be it politicians or otherwise.

    It’s obvious that you did not actually read the link you posted boy. It showed quite clearly that the racist majority of the White American population voted against Obama. It’s clear that you haven’t a clue about racial history or politics because you just embarrass yourself with your ignorance every time you post here. The Black population voted 96% against the Republican Party in 2008 because the Republican Party, according to racism experts like the American Nazi Party and Ku Klux Klan, best represents racist values. Trump actually did slightly better with Black voters in 2016 than McCain did in 2008, but the big difference of course was that Black voter participation plummeted. If you actually want to understand the facts just read the links before you post them and spare yourself the humiliation of posting stuff which contradicts your own argument. You might also want to look at https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/03/12/4-4-million-2012-obama-voters-stayed-home-in-2016-more-than-a-third-of-them-black/ to learn thaty 12% of the White people who voted for Obama in 2012 then voted for Trump in 2016. The majority of White voters kept to the Republican Party in 2008, 2012, and 2016.

    If you can explain this to me. You mentioned “a collectivization” in this case DJT and his supporters.

    is the “left” a a collectivization

    is the “right” a collectivization

    When you hear those words l”eft” and “right” mentioned in political speak what comes to your mind for each “left” and “right’

    What is your defn of “left” and “right”.

    even AS A BIBLE ILLITERATE YOUR POSITION MAY NOT BE EXCUSED BECAUSE YOU ARE IN BREACH OF JUDE VV 22 &23 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
    23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
    I DO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEVER GOT PASS ACTS PERHAPS

    JUDE TEACHES TO HATE THE SIN ,,,,,,,,NOT THE SINNER

    AFTER ALL, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS NO NOT ONE…..
    AND ALL HAVE SINNED AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD

    ALSO YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY SCRIPTURE TO SUPPORT YOUR POSITION….NOT ONE

    PERHAPS YOU SHOULD GO AND SIN NO MORE SEEING THAT YOU ARE REALLY NOT QUALIFIED TO THROW ANY STONES SINCE YOU CAN NOT HONESTLY SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT WITHOUT SIN ah lie?

    As far as i know God wants us to follow his directives.

    Proverbs 13:24 New International Version (NIV)

    24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

    I am not DJT parents but if you allow a behaviour to continue without corrective action you are just as culpable. You are also just as much to blame for the continuation of the behaviour.

    I am not here to lecture any one just letting you know what i am thinking about such behaviour.

    So why do we punish sinners (law breakers).

    Again you are taking what i have said out of context. Forget the commandments for a moment. if you know that a person is a liar and continues to lie, i think you will be well advised to keep out of his clutches etc. I think that advise would generally be taken as good advise.

    Putting on your christian armour. Any one that claims to be a christian i think you have a double duty.

    Matthew 10:16 King James Version (KJV)

    16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

    As i was told in church way back. Jesus doesn’t want any stupid followers.

    Certainly did not help Hilary even with all the scurrilous allegations piling up against Trump
    The evangelicals voted for him
    So much for moral values which most thought would have been the vanguard to Hilary winning
    The concept of winning and its applications applies solely to self interest and would be once again demonstrated in this mid term elections as blacks and whites join hands in hand on jobs and immigration policies

    This is actually the language on which racism is based.

    You notice the collectivization of those who happen not to support PLT’s view of how “blacks” should behave.

    First thing is to separate them into smaller collectives … and then deal with them.

    In reality, God made each one individually, able to exercise their own free will and support any one or anything he/or she likes.

    The individual can sin … individually …

    … or hate the sin … individually …

    … or even repent … individually.

    That power rests individually in each person.

    Categorization of Blacks into House slaves and Uncle Toms is as ant-black and racist as it gets.

    It is dehumanizing.

    I won’t call PLT an ant-black racist because that would make me a racist, I would just utter a word to the wise … your slip is showing, in Bajan vernacular, you pantee expose!!
