Breaking news: Donald Trump is a white supremacist

On March 29, 1895, The New York Times told the reality.

Sandwiched in between two different articles on the resolved issue of police reform, the nearly 44-year-old newspaper published an article on the political climate in South Carolina. The article raised a “difficult issue” with the state’s upcoming constitutional convention. The unnamed journalist focused particularly on the campaign to rewrite the governing document of South Carolina after the Civil War.

The South Carolina Constitution of 1868 was the literal definition of democracy.

Written by the one and only majority Black constitutional delegation throughout the history of the Western world, revolutionary representatives have imagined a state by which “everyone is treated equally and has the fitting to equal participation in management, decision-making, etc” At a time when most northern states allowed only white men to vote, delegate WJ Whipper he proposed a crazy idea: universal suffrage for black men and ladies. He invented the American education system as we comprehend it (or as Michael Boulware Moore he calls it “America’s first free, mandatory statewide public school system“). And since the state was then 57% African American, the 1868 Constitution guaranteed democracy – or “ a government by which the final word power is exercised by the people, directly or not directly, through representation“

But the New York Times wasn’t pro-black, so it didn’t praise the SC structure. And since it was not a Democratic or Republican newspaper, it didn’t condemn the bipartisan effort to repeal this testimony to democracy. Instead, the article portrayed the bipartisan effort to wrest control of the state’s political apparatus from the black majority in South Carolina as a political conundrum. “(T)here are about 120,000 black voters in the state and only 80,000 white voters,” wrote the anonymous journalist. “Suppose they figure out some way to restrict black voting rights without restricting white voting rights, which is exactly what they’re getting at… That’s a difficult problem.”

Although the Times simply presented a set of indisputable facts, the editors apparently could only consider one option to adequately describe the proposed “white man’s convention.” The headline was neither hyperbolic nor attempted to appeal to each side (frankly, in 1895 the Times had only a few Twitter followers). Instead of melodramatic clickbait, essentially the most powerful media within the country used a five-word headline that objectively summarized the whole pro-white, anti-democratic movement:

“The ‘white supremacy’ problem.”

“Who said anything about Hitler?

On Tuesday, October 23, 2024, the NY Times didn’t call Trump a white supremacist.

Following on from yesterday’s front page information, highlight this at the highest of the page Kamala Harris goes to churchThe Times published a groundbreaking A-1 story about how a 32-year-old unelected lawyer named Kamala Harris I went to parties over a quarter of a century ago. To be fair, the story about Harris going to parties greater than a quarter of a century ago is buried beneath a three-day headline about “Trump’s entire life is stuffed with scandals“

I suppose there might be something about Hitler at some point in the long run.

In NY Times article from October 22former Trump administration chief of staff John F. Kelly warns that “Trump will rule like a dictator.” According to Kelly’s bombshell interview with Michael S. Schmidt – which has not yet appeared on the front page of the Times (or the Washington Post, Politico or Axios) – fascism is a “far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology and a political movement characterised by a dictatorial leader.” According to Kelly, Trump meets these requirements.

“The former president is certainly part of the far-right environment,” Kelly said. “He is certainly authoritarian, he admires people who are dictators – that’s what he said. So he certainly fits the general definition of a fascist.” And if you happen to think this sounds a little Hitler-ish, the article is only one,308 words long, Schmidt and the Los Angeles Times mention the genocidal, dictatorial, white supremacist GOAT: “He commented more than once that, ‘You know, Hitler did some good things too,'” he added Kelly.

Adolf Hitler was a white supremacist.

Few would dispute the claim that the leader of the German Nazi Party believed that the white race was “inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races.” For the past decade, nevertheless, the Los Angeles Times and all other mainstream media have shunned using the term to explain Hitler’s position as a candidate for president.

They are willing to elucidate that Trump “spreads his politics of grievance to non-white voters“, which of course means that “allegations racism.” Like its Nazi predecessor, “has long used degrading language against immigrants“To”stir up a racist fire” It is baffling why institutions liable for presenting an unbiased set of facts can in some way absolve themselves of presenting objective, irrefutable truth.

Or perhaps Hitler was just a populist and World War I used to be a fight against “economic anxiety.” To call Donald Trump a white supremacist, you have to not only ignore Gen. Kelly, but in addition overlook the things he he wrotethings that he he saidthings he didhis social programhis economic policies, his political team and a real dictionary. But apparently the American media is willing to do exactly that.

If Donald Trump is not a white supremacist, then white supremacy doesn’t exist.

Journalism is not only a profession, and the press is not only a business enterprise. There is a reason why freedom of the press is the First Amendment to the Constitution. This is why the New York Times is considered an establishment. That’s why the Washington Post’s motto says:Democracy dies in darkness” In America, the press is a social, political and economic necessity that gives residents with unadulterated truth.

And if not, then they’re nothing greater than social, economic, and political systems that collectively enable white people to take care of power over people of other races.”

More than a century ago, the NY Times promised “to report the news impartially, without fear or favor, without regard to party, sect or interest.” But in relation to Donald Trump, just one sentence objectively reflects the media coverage of the pro-white and anti-democratic Republican presidential candidate:
