The Establishments war on Donald Trump Title: W. Kamau Bell: White People Need to ‘Handle’ Trump, He’s ‘Pinnacle of White Privilege and White Supremacy’
On Thursday’s “CNN Newsroom,” comedian W. Kamau Bell argued white people needed to “handle Donald Trump.” He further described Trump as “the pinnacle of white privilege and white supremacy meeting in one place.” Bell said, “White people, you’ve created race and then off of race, off the back of race, you created racism, and everybody has a racial category, except white people seem to not claim their racial category, which sucks because you’re most of the racial category in this country. And so I consider it my job to handle Ben Carson, Raven-Symoné, random black people on the Internet. It’s your job to handle Donald Trump.” Bell explained what he meant by pointing to how Rachel Dolezal was handled, stating, “Black people came together. There’s a thing called Black Twitter, I’m sure you’re familiar with. Black Twitter came together to handle Rachel Dolezal. I also wrote a — I wrote blogs about it. I tweeted about it. I talked about it on stage as a comedian, that’s what I do. I’m still talking about it. I’m recognizing the problem, and talking about the problem, and claiming my race when I talk about the problem. I’m not talking about Rachel Dolezal as a human being. I’m talking about her as a fake black person. And I think white people need to talk about Donald Trump as the worst. He’s like the pinnacle of white privilege and white supremacy meeting in one place.” Bell added, “White people have no community. … So, white people, have some white pride, that’s all I’m saying.” Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 10. So, white people, have some white pride, that’s all I’m saying. Ok. I'm proud of Trump, so I'm voting for him. He's white too (actually, he's sort of pink) though I'm not voting for him because of that. What are you saying, Bell, that I OUGHT TO vote for him BECAUSE he's white? That'd be a pretty stupid reason to vote for him. I mean, come on, Britney Spears is White - doesn't mean that I'd vote for her. So, what is that you're saying, Bell, that we OUGHT to start identifying specifically as Whites, and act in concert as Whites, like you say Blacks did on "Black Twitter" about somebody called "Rachel Dolezal" (whoever that is) ? Ok, then, let's act in concert as Whites, to elect Trump.
#9. To: Vicomte13 (#7) (Edited) He's a comedian, so I doubt he's taking his political commentary serious. He's ignorant on some things though (whites creating racism, black twitter, ect). Also, Rachel was a white woman who pretended to be black and considers herself trans- racial.
#10. To: ebonytwix (#9) Ah, yes, Rachel Dolezal. I remember now. Weird case. It's sort of a...why? It's like insisting that you're Bulgarian, when you're not, and being Bulgarian doesn't get you anything. "I am Bulgarian!" No, Tim, you're not. You're Timothy Mahoney, and you're as Irish as the Carnaevon. "Not so! I am Bulgarian! I am a proud descendant of Bulgars!" Tim, you're father's from Cork and you're mother's from Boston. I'm not sure which is more Irish. You go to St. Patrick's Church and you play the harp in a band! "Doesn't matter. I'm Bulgarian!" Tim! Come to your senses, man. You've got a daughter you named Coleen and a son named Sean, and you've got red hair and freckles. "There are red-headed freckled people in Bulgaria!" SAINTS PRESERVE US! What is the MATTER with you? WHY Bulgarian. "I like yogurt." Oh, well then, of course you're Bulgarian. Why didn't you say so in the first place?
