Trump Gets Toe Tagged and Bagged by Black Twitter After 'African-Americans Are Very Angry' Tweet

From The Root:

https://www.theroot.com/trump-gets-toe-tagged-and-bagged-by-black-twitter-after-1832509273


In the CVS receipt-long list of people who should never speak up for black folks, Donald Trump and Uncle Ruckus are engaged in a bloody duel for last place. But lo and behold, Melania’s Baby Daddy took to Twitter to come to our alleged rescue Sunday morning and speak on behalf of our collective outrage at all the blackface and sexual assault allegations pouring out of Virginia.

-snip-

“African-Americans are very angry at the double standard on full display in Virgina!” he tweeted through a haze of hypocrisy, while resisting the undying urge to refer to us as “The Blacks”.

His tweet was in reference to Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring’s apparent penchants for blackface and the widespread calls for each them to resign. In addition to Northam’s would-be successor, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, whose spent the past week being hammered by allegations of sexual assault by two women.

But again, this is Donald fucking Trump we’re talking about here. So Black Twitter politely declined his heroics and told him to go fuck himself in variety of colorful ways:


The nerve to even pretend to speak on this issue when he has not even breathed an apology for the Central Park 5, birtherism, Charlottesville or that racist presidential campaign he ran is beyond racist

No. We’re angry about the double standard on full display in DC

Northam wore a racist costume in 1984

Trump lived a life of racism from Central Park Five to “very fine people” to his racist policies

And he joked about Native American genocide YESTERDAY https://t.co/pFiSyNLDkv

At least for starters. I could tack on a lot of other nouns and adjectives after it, though.

The ones who pat themselves on the back and tell themselves "Democrats are the real racists" and conveniently ignore how the Democrats deliberately got out of the business of coddling Klansmen, and how the Republicans saw that as a big juicy opportunity to set up recruiting tables.

He doesn't give a crap about POC.

The intended audience is the deplorable base so they can feel good about themselves when they claim they aren't racist and gives them ammunition for when the want to play "But what about..."

...and yeah, I know, we'd all expect it to be his misspelling, not the journalist's mistake.

Here's his tweet:





I'd skimmed right past that typo in the article. Your eyes are sharper than mine.

However, his previous derogatory comments about African and Caribbean countries are noteworthy in this context.

Well just about ALL Americans are very angry at the double-chinned Orangutan in the Oval Office. Resign and disappear while you still have a chance to flee justice in Russia.

Trump is nothing really but slime. An insignificant, pathetically small-minded ignorant man.

And he's the fucking president because however many million morons he conned into voting for him.
