Bernie is wrong and Malcolm was right: What white liberals so often get wrong about racism and Donald Trump
White progressives have a tough time confronting racism — as Bernie Sanders, a hero in many ways, has made clear
Chauncey DeVega
First some of my background:
I've been tracking white nationalists and
anti-government people for almost 30 years.
I grew up in an integrated neighborhood in
Coatesville PA, a partly black steel town in Chester County, PA. I don't feel comfortable in an all white community. I know how they think.
While driving along Chester County’s rolling
hills you will see Confederate flags flying from white nationalist homes. It’s
not safe for a black person to walk alone on a rural Chester County road.
My next-door neighbors for the first 17 years
of my life were Dr. Lewis Stokes and his wife Ms. Barbara Stokes. Dr. Stokes
was a pioneering Black physician who was active in the NAACP.
A relative of mine was allegedly the teenage boy that
pushed Zachariah Walker back into the fire when he was lynched in Coatesville on August of 1911. Later he was most likely the man who lit a cross on my Uncle
Lou’s yard.
In the local elections in Coatesville 2015:
I tried to warn Coatesville voters that while
the some of people running for Coatesville City Council are Black, their
campaign manager was a White Nationalist John Birch Society member.
Pat Sellers is a JBS Chapter Leader. He reads Jared Taylor’s pseudo-scientific racist eugenics American Renaissance Magazine.

Shortly after Pat Sellers’ “Bloc of Four”
Coatesville City Council was elected our police Chief Dominick P. Bellizzie left because he had no
support from the 4 member majority "Bloc of Four" city council. Chief Matthews, a fake police chief was installed. One
half of the Coatesville PD left for higher paying jobs. On a weekend there was
one officer on duty in a town with a crime rate similar to North Philly. The ensuing lawlessness became an attraction for arsonists and Coatesville nearly
burned down. I think Pat Sellers would have played a fiddle upon learning that
Coatesville was burning if he had one. Harry Walker, the Coatesville City Manager at the time, was a former business partner of Pat Sellers.

I’m familiar with racism and racists.
People hate and fear different people they
don’t know. Its why people in Montana that never saw black men are afraid of
black men. It’s why a man I met in Gardner Montana told me he brought his
handgun with him to Independence Mall at the Bicentennial celebration in 1976 and
risked arrest. And racists say they're not racists because they have black friends.
On February 17th of 2016 before the GOP or
Democratic Conventions I wrote:
"In a Trump vs. Clinton general
election, I think Trump would win Pennsylvania."

Bernie Sanders knows what he's doing.
Don't confuse treating people with dignity with
soft headedness. Bernie Sanders doesn't expect support from the hard-core
racist/Neo-Nazi Republican Base. But some Democrats that voted for Trump are
persuadable.
And most importantly, Trump didn't win, Clinton
lost. Clinton lost because most Democrats didn't vote and many of the very few
that did, voted against Hillary and mostly for Trump.
Many Black women don't respect Hillary because
she stayed with her many timer husband. And Clinton is responsible for putting
Black men in prison and giving us the biggest prison system on earth.
Clinton and most of the DNC know what they're
doing too, but what they do is take in money, whether or not they win elections
is optional.
If Clinton and her corporate backers did not
conduct a subversive campaign against Sanders, he would have been President
Sanders.
By the way Trump is unequivocally a Nazi. But
it's the other N word.
The New York Times or maybe Salon should write
that Trump is a Nazi before it's too late.
