Protestors accuse Trump Boat Parade of trading in racist stereotypes
White Suprema-sea?
Bleat: “Does anyone seriously believe that it’s an accident when you see a boat at a Trump rally displaying a pointy white sheet?”
“Nearly 70% of Black children cannot swim,” says Sharon Bleat, head of San Diego’s Grievance Brigade. “And they drown at a rate three times higher than that of white children. So when a bunch of Trump supporters take to the water to parade in front of people they no doubt refer to as ‘dusky landlubbers,’ the message is clear: ‘Trump’s America is White, and the age-old racist systems that kept you from joining us in the literal and figurative water are going to stay firmly in place.’ The America of public pools and swimming lessons has historically not been the America seen by Black communities, and so now you have an economic discrepancy that has hardened into a cultural divide, with the Whites on the yacht while the Blacks are not. And instead of working to build a bridge over troubled waters, these Trumpists are trumpeting their privilege and difference. Terrible, but what do you expect at this point?”
Reached for comment, Trump supporter and skipper of the 102-foot Caucasia Randall Blankenship asked “You know what I like about boat parades? When I sit out on my deck with a lemon drop martini, nobody comes and shouts at me about how I’m evil.”
