Martin Luther King Person of Courage Isaiah Washington, famous from Grey’s Anatomy, has joined so many of us former Democrats in choosing to #WALKAWAY from that political party.
Washington cited his disillusionment with the Democrats’ empty lip service to the African-American community, lip service which they abandon after election day. That stands in stark contrast to President Trump, who has provided very real help to the working class and poor of ALL colors. The link is below, but first some excerpts:
“A recent study found that Democrats represent the worst congressional districts in the country when it comes to black Americans falling behind whites. Robert Johnson, America’s first black billionaire, gave President Donald Trump an “A+” on the economy.”
“In April, Washington announced he was considering supporting Trump. He said he had voted for Obama twice, but didn’t see progress under Obama.”
“The reason why I chose to walk away from the Democratic Party … something doesn’t feel right. I’m walking away I don’t know where I’m going, but I know where I come from.” Continue reading
Balladeer’s Blog is still the only site on the web that criticizes Democrats and Republicans equally. De facto Third Party President Donald Trump’s amazing successes for the African-American community have driven his approval ratings among those voters to as high as 39% and as low as 22% in assorted recent polls. Those numbers are astronomical for any Republican not named Lincoln (other Republicans get about 8%) and they reflect how President Trump has aided the working class and poor of ALL colors.
Man of Courage Daniel Cameron, running for Attorney General in Kentucky, delivered a smackdown to the privileged white Democrats who think they are fit to order African-Americans what their political views must be. Cameron supports de facto Third Party President Donald Trump, shocking the whitebread Democrat bosses who think that making a hobby out of the real-life suffering people of color have been through means they can judge what “authentic” African-American viewpoints are.
#BLEXIT is a kindred movement to #WALKAWAY and is about the way Urban Intellectuals Matter. #BLEXIT and #BLACKLIVESMAGA center around black people who add their own “voices” (to use one of the Democrats’ most nauseating clichés to tweak them) to an ongoing national discussion.
Khaliq Rodriquez, a Martin Luther King Person of Courage, is still LIVING history this month. Like so many other People of Courage I’ve covered here at Balladeer’s Blog Mr Rodriquez has decided to #WALKAWAY from the fascistic Democrats and praise President Trump’s many accomplishments for the poor and the working class of ALL colors.
