Making America Great Again---for whom?

Making America Great Again---for whom?  White males are voting for Trump in large numbers; the Republican Convention was heavily white males; Trump is a white male, a rich, white male.

The focus on white males, especially rich, white males leaves out the poor, the ethnics and women.  Unfortunately, this is nothing new in this nation.  Our founding fathers were a rich, white male elite; the poor, women, Native Americans, African Americans were all second class citizens, inferior.  Slavery began in Virginia around 1660; some would say that rich, white male dominance began back then.

Out of rich, white, male dominance flowed Indian genocide, theft of Indian land, slavery, etc. etc.  Ever since our founding fathers, we have had a government of the white, rich, male elite, by the rich, white, male elite and for the rich, white, male elite---never a government of, by, and for the people, all the people.

Trump didn't invent this Republican trinity---rich, white male elite---, but he is capitalizing on it as Reagan did.  Under Ronald Reagan, the rich got richer and the wealth gap doubled; under Reagan, the unjust mass incarceration of young black and Latino males exploded.  More of the same will happen under a President Trump.

Trump has declared again and again that he will be strong on Law and Order.  Law and Order is a codeword for preserving white superiority and white privilege using the criminal justice system to do so.  Law and Order is a codeword to identify and racially profile the lawless, the criminal, i.e., the criminalblackman and the illegalalien.  This will keep them inferior and poor.

Watch out for bait and switch---feigning an interest in the poor, the American worker; most likely, the current rigged economic system will continue, favoring rich, white males.

Read The NewJim Crow if you want a preview of the results of a Trump presidency; we will go from bad to worse.

President Bush reportedly said he may have been the last Republican president.  Let's hope so, until the Republican party is born again, and becomes the party of Lincoln again that released the oppressed slaves.

President Obama wanted to end mass incarceration, but he had only marginal success.  President Obama wanted to reduce the immense wealth gap, again with only marginal success.

Trump is right; America has been and is in crisis, a crisis created by rich, male, white males.  I have seen no signs of a Trump-led national repentance, restitution and repair, i.e., justice.  Our only hope is for the white church to lead national repentance, national restitution, national justice.  So far, I see few signs of white repentance; the white church prefers white superiority and white privilege.
