If President Obama had done anything close to what
president Donald Trump has been accused of, he would not have been
impeached but lynched.
That was the consensus opinion of the participants of color,
who in their latest podcast entitled “Politics across generations,”
discussed the current impeachment process being conducted by Congress. They
based their opinion on the premise, that the laws in the USA are enforced
differently when people of color are accused of anything as opposed to when
the privileged whites are. (link; https://anchor.fm/politicsacrossgenerations/episodes/Impeachment--democratic-candidates-e9d50s.)
These podcasts are hosted by 24-year-old Shadrach
Williams, a 2017 graduate of Florida International University (FIU) and
author the popular self-help book “A month to re-create Reality”
available at Amazon.com link; https://www.amazon.com/Month-Re-Create-Reality-Change-Mentality-ebook/dp/B07V78Y8ZT/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=a+month+to+change+your+reality+by+shadrach+williams&qid=1573.
The podcasts provide Political education
from the perspective of the Baby Boomers and the Millennial
generation coming together to understand each other’s viewpoints and
discuss the issues, candidates, as well as their ideas, for the
upcoming 2020 elections.
Joining him in the discussions are; fellow FIU
graduate, Psychology major Shadaen Stephens and author Joan Williams
who recently published; 2020 DECISION; SOCIALISM, RACISM OR HAPPINESS,
an outsider’s perspective of the choices available to voters in the USA for the
2020 presidential elections. It is available at; https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B001KJ40KG
Delving further into Trump’s actions which are being
sanctioned by the Republicans, it was observed that one defense being
put forward was that because the economy is doing well, Trump’s criminal
activities should be overlooked. However, that was rejected on the grounds
that, simply because one is successful in one area, it does not mean their
criminality in other areas should be overlooked.
The discussants compared how laws in the USA are enforced
against people of color versus how it is against whites. This was reinforced by
the revelation that America is now being spelt by many Generation Z
youth, with 3 k’s (KKK!)
Participants also found it intolerable that a US president
can never be charged for a crime while he is in office, not even murder.
Turning to Democratic Party politics, it was observed that
there seems to be a level of dislike for billionaires in that party, with one
participant wondering if this was not based on a philosophy of “envy” among the
socialists in that party!
During the animated debate that followed, the observation
that in the USA, money can buy lot including delegates, was made and the
other discussants were reminded by the moderator, that in 2016, Trump was
supported Vladimir Putin, who is allegedly the richest person in the
world.
