A Minnow’s Viewpoint
‘Blackest Africa’ is a term most people would have heard, but ‘blackest America’?
It’s used in an editorial in the Dominion Post (January 2, 2017). The editor wrote:
“Trump represents the American plutocracy, the people who did well during the great recession and the deepening swamp of inequality. These people think the poor have only themselves to blame. That’s why voters in darkest America picked Trump. They think they are going to rise, or that they live in a world where rising is possible.”
I’ve posted in my blog, before, expressing my fears about the harm a Trump presidency could do in the world. Trump has done nothing since becoming President-elect of the USA (that I've heard in this part of the world) to dispel my concern. Only his acceptance speech on election night showed any promise.
Before the election, I urged American voters, 'Don't support Trump'. Too late now. So I’m saying, do uphold democracy during his term of office, and beyond. It needs defending by all.
