“Hello, is this MAGA headquarters? Someone has stolen the Clarence the Lawn
                                          Jockey statue from the Devil’s palatial Lake of Fire Estate and he wants his boy back, now!”
                              United States Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, may
                                  be the most blatantly egregious and grossly
                                  disgusting “Uncle Tom” in the history of Black
                                  America, our nation, within a decadent fading
                                  empire, where we are witnessing, in
                                  “real-time” his aiding and abetting of America’s 21st-century version of the 1861
                                  Confederacy - the most racist elements of US
                                  society: Minute Men, Proud Boys, The GOP, The
                                  Ku Klux Klan…. Uncle Thomas knows that and he
                                  still sleeps at night.
                              He is unquestionably operating as a pawn, a hand puppet, a
                                  “useful” idiot: let’s call him what he is - a
                                lawn jockey for who is essentially the Grand Wizard of some racist,
                                  sexist, and elitist cult - Donald Trump.
                              Whatever its slightly debatable origin, the Black lawn
                                  jockey became a symbol of “obedient devotion.”
                                  And lest we forget North Carolina’s new useful
                                  idiot, Mark Robinson, yet another vivid
                                  illustration of this type of lost Stepin’
                                  Fetchit House Negro.
                              Technically, these assorted nuts hate Black people in
                                  general. If they could sell their worthless souls to the flame-headed
                                  devilish wizard, in exchange for being turned
                                  White, they’d do it in a New York second. Neither of these men should be able to get a head shine at
                                  a Black barbershop anywhere across Black
                                  America!
                              Look, I believe we, as Black people, have an abundance, a
                                  treasure trove of evidence to convict these
                                  sellouts of “treason” - in the first degree.
                                  We can revoke, pull their “Black Man” Cards.
                                  Clarence’s has been “under suspension” since
                                  he allowed himself to be pimped by George Bush
                                  and installed to replace the illustrious Judge
                                  Thurgood Marshall.
                              My much better half asked me, “How in the world could
                                  anyone Black vote for Trump?”
                              My reply “I’d like to hear their reasons for voting for
                                  this hustling White supremacist.”
                              What could their reasoning be?
                              His elitist economic policies?
                              I do know more than a few high falutin people of color who
                                  vote their wallets and purses and almost
                                  dismiss every other issue.
                              His dictatorial support of foreign policies?
                              How could a person of color support Europeans like Putin
                                  and Trump who hate the United Nations and
                                  virtually all concepts of global equality?
                              Can it be what Grand Pooh-But claims it is: there are
                                  those elements of Black America that would buy
                                  his golden patient plastic kicks because
                                  trashy recognizes trashy?
                              Perhaps these men reflect the millions of Black Trump
                                  backers who are, too, victims of
                                  “self-hatred?”
                              One must not marginalize the hard truth: there are those
                                  Black folks who hate themselves and hate their
                                  fellow Black people. They wish, hell, yearn to
                                  be White. They have been effectively
                                  brainwashed by the greater White society,
                                  which screams to them in both subtle and overt
                                  manners - you are subpar and substandard. Just
                                  by the luck of the DNA draw you came out Black
                                  and damned - ugly and dumb - inferior and
                                  saddled with all the derogatory traits,
                                  features, and characteristics mainstream White
                                  America has hammered into our heads for the
                                  last half a millennium. Far too many Black
                                  folks have drunk the Kool-Aid the
                                  Conservatives/ Confederates/ Supremacists have
                                  been selling us:n Black folks are inferior.
                              I also know more than a few Black folks who regard the
                                  rank n’ file Black masses not as their
                                  societal peers: “They may be my neighbors,
                                  however, they are not my kind” - both
                                  despising and detesting the unwashed little
                                  poor uneducated folks who proudly yet
                                  ignorantly self-describe themselves as
                                  “Niggers.” However, still, as Black
                                  Conservatives, they Love “Black” people. 
                              Additionally let’s recognize the historic Booker T.
                                  Washington versus WEB DuBois internal
                                  conflict, which was still evident with the MLK
                                  Civil Rights movement versus Malcolm X and the
                                  Black Power Movement. There were those who
                                  refused to “turn the other cheek,” who were
                                  too busy swinging to be singing “We shall
                                  overcome” - We are not a monolithic people.
                              And if I’m looking for rhyme, reason, and rationale as to
                                  “why” Blacks will vote for Trump, I know there
                                  are those who simply and naively believe that
                                  their individual, personal riches separate
                                  them from the majority of Black folks who
                                  aren’t wealthy - in the all-important eyes of
                                  White folks. They’ve bought and spent themselves out of their
                                  Blackness. They, too, believe rich people are better than poor folks,
                                  because they, too, calculate that God is
                                  money, and money is God.
                              Ain’t that a ….
                              Now, in dissecting the “hot mess” that is the Black Trump
                                  supporter, I can’t negate the obvious: yes,
                                  they’re technically “dumb” - uneducated, and
                                  unenlightened. They just do not grasp the
                                  “useful idiot” role they play in the
                                  multi-tier chess game that is US politics.
                                  They’re small and simple-minded, indeed
                                  “pawns” being manipulated for a few dollars.
                              Shame, shame, shame on these diabolical turncoats no
                                  matter what their thinking is!
                              I’m going to be sharp and blunt here: we, as a people,
                                  struggling in a hostile land, at a critical
                                  moment in our bloody story, ought to place
                                  immense shame and complete guilt upon friends,
                                  family, and co-workers who are Black, and even
                                  considering voting for a man backed by the
                                  Klan. Our ancestors’ efforts, their struggles
                                  for you - they and I demand we not go
                                  ignorantly into the good night.
