#EndorseThis: Corey Lewandowski Says Trump’s Arizona Speech Clearly Meant For White Men

The charge against Donald Trump’s immigration so-called proposals is that they’re nonsensical word salad meant to appeal to white people.

Deport 2 million people, in the first hour of your presidency? Yes, Donald Trump did promise that last night, along with an ideological test on immigrants and a plan to begin forcing the rest of the 11 million undocumented people out of the country… after the inaugural ball, I suppose.

Word salad. Nonsense. Impossible. These are not real proposals, or if they are, then Donald Trump also plans on bankrupting the Department of Homeland Security, creating another recession by taking millions of people out of the work force, and deporting the citizen children of undocumented immigrants, because, as Trump has said: We won’t split up the families (that would be cruel) they are all leaving.

So it may have been a bit shocking to hear Corey Lewandowski say that Trump’s red meat speech last night was aimed at white men specifically, but it wasn’t a surprise at all. That has been the aim of Trump’s whole campaign, and watching him gaslight his supporters last week with an alleged “softening,” on immigration, by briefly proposing that “the good ones” be allowed to stay, turned out to be one of the media’s vague, Trumpian fever dreams: It happened, but not really.

Lewandowski left out one word - the word "ignorant" right before "white men". tonyt53 Sep 2016 #1

in the mirror; white skin looking back at them.

I recall going to a rally with my older sister back in the 70's where a speaker said that the anti-abortion movement was not so much about the Right to Life but more about keeping America a white nation. He said that because of Title IX of the Civil Rights Law of 1964, Affirmative Action, and the Birth Control Pill, the white man would be a minority in this country in the next 50 years. He said that because of Title IX, white women were enrolling in colleges in record numbers and they were also the biggest beneficiaries of Affirmative Actions programs. Their ability to control their reproductive rights would lead to the browning of America.

That thought stayed with me every since, and now that that day seems to be in the foreseeable future, they don't seem to know what to do with themselves. In many cases, the brown people have been here as long as, if not longer, than many of the white people.
