The Final Word: Here’s Why Hillary Clinton Lost (Sound bites included)

by | Oct 9, 2017 | Opinion | 0 comments

Mme Hillary Clinton won the nationalist popular election by nearly 3,000,000 (2.95M) votes cast in November of 2016, but it meant nothing when it came to the ELECT Elite, who are stationed as point guards to make sure an election is fairly represented by the known census’d populations of each state.

The ELECT Elite (the ‘Electoral College’, as it were) was bound and determined by a combination of what is shoring up to be Russian collusion and -AND- permafrost white-hot hatred of Hillary Clinton, to make sure Hillary Clinton did NOT win that Election.

It matters not how many misogynists just say “yuck” to the idea of a female President, which obviously wasn’t the majority of real-time national voters; but what mattered most is all the junk Black people found out about Hillary when she was running against Barack Obama, which knocked her out of any realm of possibility that she would win in 2012, 2016, or even in 2020.

The “stuff” folks already knew about her and her husband was proof enough that they weren’t going to vote for her under ANY circumstances, even with celebrity endorsements galore. Good thing Maya Angelou wasn’t alive to see that.

In the Democratic scenario, Black voters -who often show up on the Late Freight- are usually the ones who punt the vote ball over the field goal after their white constituency runs the ball almost all the way across the field.

There are a lot of reasons for why that is so commonplace in the Democratic Party, but suffice it to say, Black folks are adjusted enough to the racism in politics that they know they are not the lead quarterbacks of any team or game, including Team Obama.

In this season, they became “reluctant voters” for Trump in the hopes that he was everything he pretended to be. But for those of us who already knew what he was and was incapable of, we’ve been vindicated big time.

As they say, nothing operates in a vacuum in outer space, it has a background. All of it has a history. I have often been accused of “dwelling in the past,” but all I ever do is make sense of the past in order to tell people why what is happening now is happening RIGHT NOW.

So let’s take a real look from the non-elite layman’s point of view about what caused America to end up being led by what appears to be a simple-minded crackhead President who is being enabled to do what he does because the people around him fear to call him what he is. And because he signs the checks.

They can come up with all of the rich man DSM slough-off diagnoses they want to, but just as the Las Vegas mass shooter was no out of the ordinary “lone wolf” assassin, Trump is easier to digest than some professionals have claimed.

“Narcissistic” our red white and blue butts.

He’s a crackhead, plain and simple. Black folks in America have been portrayed as such enough to know one when they see one. Some have said that Rex Tillerson -whatever inauspicious role he’s playing these days before he leaves- referred to Trump as an “f-ing moron,” but no one has been able to prove it.

We don’t have a reason to doubt he said it, however, because that is exactly what Trump has portrayed since taking office: Moronic behaviors.

No President could be less dignified, less credible, and more moronic, especially one that could make George W. Bush actually LOOK smart and well-behaved and pull him out of the trenches of worst president ever smelling like a rose. Not him.

At this point, it no longer matters that Sarah Huckabee Sanders, as an enabler of Trump’s sicko behaviors, is doing her level best to make it look like everything Trump says is planned and done on purpose – no one believes he is that smart – but let us take a look at the reason why she may be covering for what is obviously his lunacy that is about to become her own.

Become? Already became.

Just remember, her legacy RIDES with his and they cannot “drain the swamp” when they brought it to DC with them. They would be rendered homeless without that swamp.

But enough of him.

Let’s discuss Hillary Clinton.

Her husband, William, was dubbed the first “Black” president because of his called-black-but-really-white ghettofied behaviors in the 1990s. Mr. “Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow.” Memba dat? Riding Music.

The wife, Hillary, had in her history been a Goldwater Girl out of the hardest nastiest meanest racists of the 1950s. Barry Goldwater, as you don’t know, was a hi-falutin’ racist much like Donald Trump is now. He was such a racist that he left the KKK Lynching Democratic Party for the Republican Party just because the Democratic Party, at that time, began to work to make amends to Black America for the sins of its forefathers. [ I speak of the NORTHERN Democrats of the Blueblood John F. Kennedy clan, not the SOUTHERN Democrats of the “Beauregard Rootintootin Cowboy” Lyndon B. Johnson Klan. ]

Later for the LBJ confederate Yankee Doodle flag-waving “Dixie”-singing parade, he didn’t much care for Black folks himself. His wife, Lurleen, convinced him to honor Kennedy’s memory and do the right thing by signing the papers Kennedy was slated to sign for the second Civil Rights Act of this nation’s history.

By way of note: There are stories surrounding the Kennedy family, too, stories that came out only after their beloved Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy-Onassis herself died and was properly laid to rest, but now isn’t the time or the place to get into it. Read books about America’s Camelot season, you will eventually get it.

I did. And I lived through that era enough to know that most of what is said about how the Kennedys actually thought of Black people is not a lie.

But let’s give JFK his moment in time. He earned it.

At this point, none other than B. Goldwater gets ticked off about how the Dems were bowing down to the winds of time and change, and he reverts himself to the Republican Party, now thoroughly pissed off that Dr. King and his constituency had turned their backs on Republicans for bigger game: Equality, justice, and freedom for all of Black America.

No, not for the right to be gay or to be a white supremacist did Dr. King give his life, his legacy bears no indication that he would have fought for the rights of whites to be racist or for gays to be gay, even as a lover of all humankind. He was a Southern Baptist preacher, so there ain’t no way he’d have co-signed homosexuality during that time except as a man who did not believe in using violence as a way to accomplish anything. That was ALL Barack Obama’s choosing, to be dotted and crossed as the “first Gay president”.

King would have condemned gay slaughter, but would never have condoned their right to marry and be treated as a married couple in the eyes of God. I will never believe that, all things considered in the southern “Bible Belt” that I grew up in.

No one has any right to portray Dr. King in that manner, and I, as a firstfruit beneficiary of the southernmost desegregation that was supposed to put a nail in the coffin of racism in America, I won’t allow white people or anyone else to control that narrative. King’s own children can’t even tell me he would have done that.

I grew up under Liberation Theology coming out of Black churches. I was nine years old when Dr. King was killed and came here to Earth shortly before JFK was murdered. I was a little girl when Malcolm X was assassinated. I was nearly 11 when JFK’s brother, Robert, was assassinated only a year or so after Dr. King. I lived through that entire era and I saw and heard what was going on around me.

I cannot identify with an adult perspective on it during that time, but I know what I perceived as a child. And it turned out, on historical investigation some years later, that I was right.

The question has been raised as to whether or not Black conscious and Christianity can co-exist, because white “jesus” Roman Christianity, not that of the dark-skinned Hebrew converts who came from Jerusalem, has done nothing but made Black people weak and watered down in their effectiveness in the world.

The thing is … turning our backs on God is not a viable answer. It never will be.

There was no white man named “Jesus,” for one thing; and even if you can get away with calling the Son of God what amounts to a transformed Latin cuss word, His Name, the Name Above All Names, was not “jesus” anyway. But we’re still wrapping our brains around the fact that the Son of God who lived and loved on THIS Earth wasn’t white.

I know. I know. Let me wipe away the self-righteous tears of defiance.

That just kills a lot of songs that Black folks sing in traditional and in opulent churches; and most of all, they aren’t ready for that kind of truth. Only the ears of the hearers finally caught on. Black folk, the Churched, are just now, after an entire full generation, ready to admit that The Messiah simply was NOT a white man by any stretch of the imagination, and it wouldn’t have made a difference if He had been.

FOR GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.

I cannot be made invisible as a Black woman or as a woman of God and of the faith of God, to soothe someone else’s fragile ego about what I heard and saw for myself back when this nation was in total constructive upheaval in the 1960s-1970s.

I ain’t the one to be fooled.

That said, Goldwater made his way over to the Republican Party of the 1950s, barreled in by dozens of thousands of despicably angry white men and the Klannish womenfolk, who were dead set on using Black people only for votes and then keeping them race-marginalized under white supremacy.

They try to use Lincoln as “shade” about the GOP’s real motives, but nothing that actually happened during the Civil War supports anything they say.

Believe people when they SHOW you what they are.

Lincoln had no designs on Black freedoms, his hand was pushed and he was left with only two choices: One that would tear the nation asunder, and the other that would make a lot of southern white slavemongering racists mad, but would leave them with no choice but to submit.

It’s 2017, and they haven’t overcome that lost battle yet.

But back to Hillary and the Goldwater Girls, could have been a light-headed girl band for all they were worth.

Not only in 2016 did historical evidence mount against Missus Clinton, but she had brought the sins of their forefathers forward during her campaign against Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination.

Up to that point, Missus Clinton had a lot of Black people willing to forgive the youthful sins of her past, and even more who knew nothing about it.

She had the endorsement of Maya Angelou, a well-respected longtime Black American journalist, writer, stage performer, singer, and Poet Laureate who was organizing for Dr. King on the day that Dr. King was assassinated, that day being also her BIRTHDAY.

But then she (Missus) opened her big fat piehole and stuck a bottle of purse-sized hot sauce in it by commenting that “Bobby Kennedy was killed” while campaigning in Los Angeles, just as then-Senator Obama was on his way to LA to a campaign stumper.

That about killed it.

It appeared to me that even Maya Angelou took up the gauntlet for Barack Obama at that point, and Angelou had been her staunchest celebrity advocate.

Black Vote The Reluctant did not want Donald Trump as President, but they also didn’t have to have much of a forceful gale wind blown at them to admit that the woman who had been a Goldwater Girl in her PAST was NOT the one they wanted to be responsible for helping to elect.

The woman who had once said that Black men were SUPER-predators who needed to be “brought to heel,” whose husband was on watch as President when the largest mass incarceration and proliferation of Ronald Reagan-era crack cocaine drugs infiltrated the Black community, and that even as he attempted to take away the rights of the poorest Black people to protect themselves against the invaders with their white nationalist GUNS. The same one and the same Hillary Clinton had the audacity to show up on a national radio station “playing possum” to a well-known Internet radio host when Black people who really really tried to give her a chance to tell them why they should vote for her.

She screwed even THAT up. My son said he would have told her to show it to him, that hot sauce that she said she keeps in her purse; but … we also know why it wouldn’t have been a good idea for “Charlamagne tha god” to ask her to show it to him, either. He dodged a tempting bullet on that one.

One thing I notated in my book “The United States of Georgia,” was that not only did I discover that what the oppositional whites were saying about her and her ‘crooked’ ways was true, not only did I discover that she had a trail of mysteriously dead bodies attached to her and her husband’s names that wrapped three or four times AROUND THE WORLD in their deceptions, but I also discovered that her husband’s “hot sauce barbecue rib juke joint saxophone-playing ways” with country-fried Black folk didn’t rub off on her to her benefit.

For the first time in my short half a century of life, I discovered that the only thing rich white guys hated WORSE than Barack Obama…was Hillary Clinton.

My own boss, a white southern Baptist sacrilegious GOP-hearting cowboy Lawyer of the racially demented default kind, kind of fluffed off Obama as a strange fluke who had four to eight years to be deflected and blocked and then ‘ razzmatazzed ‘ so that a Black man can never catch them off guard again (and he DID shock them with his win because they had decided his skin color alone would end his bid at the gate); but also I found that when I mentioned Hillary’s name, that well-to-do white man who had been a Georgia lawyer of great renown for umpteen years turned coarse bright scarlet red and started spitting so much spit and teeth that they may as well have been nails.

I’d never in my life seen a white man turning more curse phrases off on a white woman than he did the Black man. It was a first.

It was sealed back then.

I knew that if Hillary ever did run, they were going to go to the Gates of Hell and back and offer satan a big deal to keep her out of office. And they did.

Michael Moore finally picked up on it, but when he said that Hillary Clinton could not win the national election if they screwed Bernie Sanders, and that Trump would be President … I could not even disagree with him.

I’m not horn-tooting, Hillary lost her true base — the Obama voters — by kowtowing to the wrong people at the wrong time in history. She tried to go back to where she left off in 2008 and it was no longer working for her.

You’d have to read my book The United States of Georgia, written in 2008 and published in 2009, to know that I had already called it for Missus Clinton before she ran again. She was damned if she did and damned if she did not, and the Democrat Party messed up BIG when they went for the “I want to see a woman president” okey-doke rather than understand that Black America, ad majorum, were going to side with old white southern racists when it came to Clinton’s rep. The truth is the truth and it don’t care what color told it.

When Moore realized Black people all around him were mythed about Sanders’ loss in the Democratic Party, and that 11-percent of the voters who voted for Barack Obama were bowing out this time, he said “Trump Will Win.” And so he did.

Black people were not going to just show up en masse and “punt the victory ball” for the touchdown for Missus Clinton as they had done for her husband, and even as they tried to do for Al Gore at the last minute down in Florida.

It wasn’t in the cards.

Trump was not written in the stars, either, but the Bible itself speaks of the things that happen when men choose for themselves a king not ordained by God.

There is a price that has to be paid for going against the ultimate authority and will of God to choose the wrong man out of due season, and Trump is most definitely not in his place nor his proper position. But let patience have its perfect work.

Trump was not, by far, one of the WORST racists Black America has seen. He was one amongst a cloud of witnesses as to his character and nature, Goldwater and Johnson and Lincoln included; they would never have left Hillary Clinton’s name out of the conversation on racism even if she had won.

Trump was not the first nor the biggest racist to come our way, but someone is dead-out determined to make sure he is the last of his Tiki torch-bearing inferno breed to darken the doorsteps of The White House, or to enter the doors carved out by the hands of BLACK AMERICAN SLAVES.

The sheep’s wool has been torn off the fox and the wolf. The Lamb will be redeemed.

In the meantime, it is not a time to rest on our laurels; but to work while it is still daylight, as the Will of God will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven: 2018/2019/2020.

End Game.
