Perhaps we can even ask what Mr Trump’s Question has to do with us in the Virgin Islands (VI) and we may realise that as a trickle down Society who remain unable to tell whether the Trickle is from Tears of Joy or Sadness… Maybe we would realise that the inconvenient Policies of Mr Trump and others already adversely affect us as in the case of FATCA and increased Terrorism across the World.

The reality of Mr Trump’s words should not be dismissed simply because he is regarded as insane for it is widely accepted as fact that over a quarter of US Blacks live in Poverty, Employment is low, Children are quicker sent to Prison than College and they are daily shot by Police and each other- What we should do is research the reasons for these Wrongs and find solutions to put them Right.

It is no secret that Blacks live in Poverty because they are unable to find Employment possibly due to their lack of Education, so to prevent starvation and deprivation they turn to Crime and Violence with the easy, constitutional access to Guns – This chain of events provides ample excuse for their imprisonment… A reasonable question would be, where is Mr Trump and his Party in solving this?

When Bad Leaders squabble over the Elephant’s Memory & Jackass’ Brain:

Very few Blacks know that Trump’s Party, GO Republicans, is still referred to as Lincoln’s Party because of the Civil War and they were first to take Black’s Support for granted provided they denied their humanity… This changed in the1960’s when Blacks sought Civil Rights and Equality - From then to now the GOP has made Racism and Segregation the Backbone of their Philosophy.

As a consequence, whether Mexican, Muslim, Asian, Hispanic or Black; Mr Trump and Party remain consumed by a hatred and perception of others as Lower Class and Servants instead of Equals… At the same time, although the Democratic Party has delivered less than desired, they accepted Blacks in leadership roles that provide opportunity for upward mobility; right up to the Presidency.

Meanwhile, after stealing Lands from Native Indians and Mexicans and enslaving Africans to develop this Land, this European GOP Majority not only claim to be better than others but consider them-selves the only real Americans and rightful Masters of the World with God-given authority to build Walls and enact Policies and Laws to further disenfranchise Blacks and keep out the Original Owners.

This self-importance and arrogance of Power has convinced Big Nations to Micromanage Smaller Nations by disrupting their Normal Way of Life, resulting in lost Generations and Nations of Refugees - Meanwhile, they are unable to manage their own affairs so they preach White Supremacy, blame others and pretend they are the Victims in order to fabricate excuses to create more Wars and Unrest.

The Race is over – The Results are clear – Now let’s learn to live together:

Of course Idiots make excuses; Wise Men seek solutions - Fact is we can all live together in peace and Blacks should never doubt their inherent ability… Just think about it – If two Persons were in the Race of Life and each started at different positions but along the way they became tied or equal in their positioning; whom do you determine as being faster or better of the two.

The answer is evident that Blacks have always been placed at the back of the pack and taught not to question this so they have been required to work three times as hard as others before they can be recognised. In doing this they have proven their ability to excel in any position… Nonetheless, Mr Trump and Conservative Republicans have never stopped trying to block Blackman’s Progress.

Unfortunately, we clearly aid in our own destruction when instead of 0%, Polls show an 8% African American support for Donald Trump… While it is clear that this 8% is as tiny as Mosquito and comes from those calling themselves Religious and believing in ‘talking Snakes and Imaginary Friends’ we should all be concerned because there is no Insect as tiny and deadly as the Mosquito.

When Trump asks, ‘Blacks what the Hell do you have to lose? - The answer may be ‘Our Life’ because although those in Power have practically taken it all, the Greedy will still find ways to deprive us of the little we didn’t know we had… These are serious times and we must find ways to safeguard ourselves against Bad Leaders as well as Mosquito’s Malaria, Dengue, ChikV and Zika.

Idiots don’t have to pretend to be foolish – It’s time to fix the Problems:

Mr Trump has made public his intent to mislead by refusing to read and clearly voiced his appreciation that those with least Knowledge are offering him the greatest Support… Sadly, this Slave Masters Tactic of keeping the People in Ignorance so the People will keep them in Power is designed to destroy the Less Fortunate and we must overcome it by enlightening one another.

Ironically, the US Political Season coincides with our Hurricane Season when Mosquitoes increase in numbers - Zika has already arrived and while this may be a part of our Tourism Imports we must take whatever preventative and curative steps we can to defeat this…Whatever the case we must acquire and apply Knowledge in order to inoculate ourselves from Bad Leaders and tiny Mosquitoes.

I will bring truth to the Youth and I have already voiced concerns regarding Hospital’s Emergency Area being too isolated and open to Bad Weather and Insect Invasion… This should be relocated to better accommodations or enclosed and equipped with Closed Circuit Television for better Patient monitoring– BVIHSA shouldn’t need me but I am willing to assist in funding such Improvements.

The World is collapsing around us and with so much to be done there is no better time than now… The greatest Progress is the Offspring of Bad Situations and Mr Trump and Lady Zika can prove ‘Liability is an Asset’… There is no doubt that we can find Ways to rescue ourselves and others provided we have the Will – After all ‘It takes the blackest Coal to become the brightest Diamond’.
