Hitler's Hair

Hillary is on the tube in North Carolina shouting things.  I believe she can not or will not accomplish any of them.  She is the quintessential Southern gubernatorial candidate.  Like Pappy O'Daniel she could be traveling around on the back of a flatbed truck with a huge horn attached to its cab.  Bluegrass music wafts gently through the Lousiana bayou.  "Buy Pappy O'Daniel flour.  You won't be sorry." Politics like American Popular Music is a small percentage of its former self, and yet the tactics remain the same.  In today's modern context, where the world drastically has changed because of mass media the old soap box stumps seem like antiquated cartoons.  Attempting to rally black votes in the American South by shouting Hitler-like rants into the crowd is an embarrassment to America.  Not only is Hillary embarrassing, because she is not capable of doing a thing she says, but Donald is because now he has allowed himself to morph into David Duke.  I wouldn't have believed it, had it not happened in Fayettenam.  Trump purposely was eliciting response from his political rally with violence.  I would like to take this opportunity to give Mr. Trump a bit of advice.  Fayettenam is no different than Watts or Detroit.  Telling a black man to go home to his mommy is a risk, and not a risk to that black man.  Watching a KKK clansman threaten a black man WITH HIS LIFE IN THE YEAR 2016 in Fayetteville, North Carolina at the Crown Coliseum on national TV....   Well it made the headline of the Huffington Post as it should.  There is a reason why brothers are violent in the American South.  It is because they may get lynched, if they don't defend themselves.  Sincerely I would suggest that in a place where murders occur daily, and black men don't appreciate Grand Dragon's yelling at them to go home to their mothers, Trump should refrain from rekindling anachronistic racial images no matter how politically helpful.
