Worcester Will Be the Butt of Donald Trump’s Racism

2015 Immigrants Oppose Depostations

Worcester Will Be the Butt of Donald Trump’s Racism

On November 18. 2015 Worcester will choose between Donald Trump and BlackLives Matter. The racist Trump TV circus will be at the DCU Center on that day.  There is a BlackLives Matter meeting at Centro Las Americas about police arresting kids at school on the same day at 6 PM.

Trump will make Worcester MA the “straight man” and the butt of his offensive rants.  When thousands of people show up for his offensive and racist media show, the world will see Worcester as a backwards city full of backwards people. It is said that Worcester County has the largest number of Tea Party people.  Going to the Trump circus will give credence to that perception and have Worcester look stupid.

I guess I should not find it surprising that many people, even some who do not like Trump will go to the DCU center because they like the action and the lights of the TV camera. I suppose it is something of an event.

I think that other people like Councillors Lukes and Gaffney who have similar right wing politics as Trump will go and see him. School Committee women Colorio and Briancharia might like him as well. 

Trump might eventually be as credible as some European fascists who use a combination of racism, misogyny, nationalism, and anti communism to come into power. Poland seems to be the latest country moving in that direction.  Many in the United States are alienated and find it hard to deal with the lowering standard of living and the fact this country will soon have a non White majority population.  Several White Supremacy groups have already endorsed Trump.

The candidate Trump has said that he will create a new national police force of Deportation Enforcement and new forms of concentration camps. How else can you deport 11 million people? He has made racist comments about Mexicans and other immigrants. He has belittled the civil rights movement and he has devalued the contribution of women to society and he has made light of the heroism of soldiers.

 Some progressive people will say that they will go and oppose Trump and this is a good thing. However Trump will bully these good people on National TV and boost of his being a tough guy. The BlackLives Matter activists who met with Hillary Clinton were used by Clinton to further her campaign. It is likely Trump will do the same.

It might be better for people to boycott Trump and his racist circus. It might be good for people to go to the BlackLives Matter meeting at Centro Las Americas and help end the school to prison pipeline. There is no clear Worcester policy for the use of police power in the schools and the arrest of children. The City’s policy should be clarified and revised to ensure that the interests of the children are taken into account. The cops in the schools are not educators and are not trained in the appropriate age pedagogy of children in parentis loco.

Wednesday will tell us much about the character of Worcester.
