Double Standards, ‘Fake’ Outrage!

If you asked the common black man, how they felt about President Trump, 99% of the time they will tell you that they hate Trump, or F—-k Trump. If you asked them why, they couldn’t tell you, all they know is they hate Trump, they don’t know why, and they will tell you he is racist

Why is there so much outrage against Donald Trump, who started that Narrative??  that is the question we should be asking ourselves, can we prove that he is really a racist? he will call this himself, “fake” news.  For some reason we seem to listen to what say, (Even Cardi B got to be political something she never cared about when she was a stripper) we make leaders out of people who haven’t even asked to be leaders, to be fair celebrities do have a voice, Malcolm X criticized the black community for mistaking celebrities as leaders but even he understood the voice these celebrities sometimes have and he was successful in leveraging such a voice. This person is Mohammed Ali. In the ’70s when black communities were led by men, civil rights was part of the culture, most black celebrities also understood what equality meant. People like James Brown, Malcolm X understood that sometimes a leader and a celebrity are the same.

Let us get back to the subject,  How did this narrative start of Trump being a Racist ?? why do black people think he hates them? Maybe because he is republican but that isn’t enough reason to hate him. it’s easier to convince black people that a republican is a racist than it is to convince them that the democratic party is actually the party of the KKK.

A few people who are familiar with some part of history will say that his company was sued in the ’70s for housing discrimination, which he settled out of court, they believe this is proof that he is racist.  He also made comments about an incident that happened in  Charlottesville VA. People said that was evidence of his racism, note he was being called a racist before that incident. When it comes to Trump, it is a bit confusing, the confusing part is watching the action and reactions of people, one-minute black people love Trump and then the next minute they hate him, it couldn’t have been because he became president, because they knew he was running. This is the same man who was on the Apprentice, these same celebrities were on the Apprentice with him, yet they pretend they didn’t know how Mr. Donald Trump is. The truth is we shouldn’t be paying attention to everything celebrities say, Sometimes they don’t know what they are talking about, or they are lying. They get paid for lying to people, and somehow we believe them, case and point, On March 4^th, 2020 Whoopi Goldberg, who is a regular  presenter on the view said something that was very interesting, she said

 “I’m hoping Dr. Jill becomes the Surgeon General, Joe Biden’s wife, she is a hell of a doctor, she is an amazing doctor”

When she started to make this statement, she got applause from the audience, one can tell she was clearly acting when she said it, she sounded as if she knew this lady personally. No facts to back up what she was saying. She has ‘fake’ outrage against the President so much that she is willing to tell a lie like this. The funny thing is her audience agreed with her. However, President Trump appointed one of the most qualified people for the job of Surgeon General.

We are in a society where people don’t pay attention to facts, they let their emotions run them and they are happy with that, let’s see if we get some outrage for the following.

Let us compare Donald Trump to Joe Biden and the Democratic party. I wonder if people remember the 1994 crime bill that was signed by Bill Clinton, the bill that locked up a lot of black people without any provisions on rehabilitation. Bill Clinton is no longer the president but here is the interesting part, not only did Joe Biden support Clinton’s controversial Bill but he helps write that bill. Joe Biden has been part of every major crime bill since 1976, yet all black people think about is, “Let’s get him out” why because he is racist??? (TRUMP)  in the 4 years that Trump has been in office, let us look at what he has done,  we have the First Step ACT, which a lot of black people have benefitted from, ( after Joe Biden help lock them up), he pardoned the first black heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson. he supports school choice, and he increased funding to HBCUs ( Historically Black Colleges). The Music Modernization ACT, is a copyright reform bill which states songwriters will be paid, when their songs are played via streaming services, some state that it is the most important law in a generation, with a law like this you would think that all the black musicians would be behind Trump but still going with that narrative of how he is hateful.  In fact, there are a few songs by the same people who swear they hate him today.

Trump made these rap songs COOL!!!!!!

1. Ice Cube – 3 Strikes
2. Lil Wayne- (Feat TI) ‘Ball”
3. Lil Wayne- “Racks on Racks”
4. Lil Wayne – Getdown
5. Lil Wayne (Feat Kanye West)- Flashing lights
6. Juvinile (Feat Lil Wayne) What’s up wit dat
7. Nas- Money is my Bitch
8. Nas- Top Down
9. Nas – “Loco-motive”
10. Young Buck- “Loco”
11. Gucci Mane & Young Thug- ” Donald Trump”
12. Gucci Mane – Straight drop
13. Young Thug- “Loaded’
14. Nas- money is my bitch
15. Nas- Top down

17. Meek Mill ( feat Master P) – “I Miss that”
18. Kendrick Lamar – Is it live
19. Kendrick Lamar – “Pirates”
20. Ice Cube, I got to say What’s up

Once upon a time, it used to be so cool to mention Trump’s name in a song, to a point that these celebrities even had songs named Trump, now all of a sudden he is hated

When it comes to the Music Modernization act, a lot of people don’t realize how historic that is, before Trump no musician was getting paid from streaming services. We as black people should have done this ourselves but, we didn’t just because we give people a pass just for being black. We know Jay Z owns Tidal, needless to say not even Jay Z said,” I think artists and music writers should be paid for, if and when their songs are played through streaming services”, it took Donald Trump, the racist president to sign this into law. As part of Diplomacy, Jay Z (as an owner of streaming services) could have shown up for the signing, being that he is also an artist, but that never happened. It is time we started questioning our celebrities’ leaders and what they stand for.

Artists who were present at the signing of the Music Modernization ACT

Kid Rock

Mike Love

Sam More

John Rich

Craig Morgan

Jeff Baxter

Christian Band Mercy me

Kanye West

According to rolingstone.com Trump asked Kid Rock ( who was present at the signing) “You like this legislation or do you hate it ?”, Kid Rock replied  “I like it”  and he went on to say, “everybody knows this business of music is a very dirty business”.

Little Richard just passed away, we all know little Richard has contributed a lot to the culture of music, he had a lot of hits, little fact, Richard did not own his own music for some time, His record label owned his music which later was owned by the Beatles.  How was this possible? Little Richard was signed to a record label called Speciality Records, they owned all his music. The publishing part of that company was acquired by ATV music publishing. ATV music publishing was acquired by Michael Jackson in the ’80s. Michael Jackson returned his music publishing to him, FOR FREE!! publishing that was worth by some estimates, ($12 Million)

The craziest part of this story is little Richard was worth $40 Million or was able to achieve a net worth of $40 Million because he finally got to enjoy some of the fruits of his labor.  In this era of new technology we all get our music through some streaming services, some of his songs are on streaming services,  Little Richard’s estate gets money from streaming services because of this white racist republican president.  Interesting isn’t it ???
