"My wife Mary and I moved from Florida to West Virginia to be closer to our elderly parents. Its a tiny town, population 500. Because internet will not be installed at our home until later this month, I was at the local small library working on my computer.
Despite Mary and I burying our heads into our computers, the librarian approached our table insistent on conversing. He kept asking probing questions. Out of nowhere, he began trashing and calling Trump a racist. Because I am black, he probably assumed I agreed.
He was genuinely shocked and amazed by my defense of Trump. "You're a black man telling me, a 76 year old white man, that Trump is not racist." The librarian could not tell me one thing Trump has done to prove him racist. And yet, the librarian acted as though Trump being a racist was as obvious as the Pope being Catholic. Clearly, this 76 year old white man was totally infected with fake news media's Leftist zombie-ism.
With the airways filled with people pandering to racists demanding the removal of historical monuments, I had very little patience for this idiot parroting fake news media's bogus crap about Trump.
I ranted to the librarian about how blacks are murdering each other in record numbers every weekend in Democrat controlled cities like Chicago and Baltimore which cannot be blamed on Trump, historical monuments or white Americans. bit.ly/2s7i9zBNinety percent of issues devastating the black community are due to an abandonment of morals and liberal Democrats' destruction of the black family. And yet, every time anyone compassionately suggests how blacks can help themselves, they are attacked, called a racist white or an Uncle Tom black.
I informed him about the epidemic of blacks dropping out-of-school bit.ly/2g3vOpf and having babies out-of-wedlock (72%) which feeds a cycle of generational poverty and crime. bit.ly/1fo1iLd Blaming poor life choices on whitey, Trump and America only weakens blacks rather than empowering them.
I told the librarian that America is the greatest land of opportunity on the planet for all who choose to go for it. He agreed that America does offer opportunities, but not for minorities. I asked him to explain why blacks are quitting high school which is free and how is that the fault of white America? The librarian's only retort was to tell me to calm down.
For decades, I have been encouraging fellow blacks to forgot victim crap Leftists have filled their heads with and simply go for their dreams. Education, hard work and right choices always lead to success. I explained to the librarian that as a black American, I have been extremely successful throughout my life; much of my support coming from white teachers, businessmen and employers. My formula for success was simple. I performed my job well which profited my employers and I was well rewarded. The Bible celebrates my chosen path to success in the parable of the talents.
The librarian, Mary and I were the only ones in the library. After cautioning me to lower my voice, the walking dead Leftist zombie librarian continued attacking Trump; accusing him of being uncooperative with the press and refusing to help blacks. He appeared clueless to the truth that Trump reached out to so-called black civil rights leaders (Congressional Black Caucus) only to be rejected; given their middle fingers. bit.ly/2squ4Kt
The librarian praised Obama and lamented how poorly he was treated as president. He had no idea that cowardly Republicans treated Obama with kid gloves for 8 years. Fearful of the press calling them racists, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell said Republicans would not impeach Obama no matter what illegal act he committed. Obama exploited Republicans giving him free reign to behave as king, becoming the most lawless president in U.S. history. bit.ly/2inDt2F
My liberal zombie librarian gave me a blank stare when I told him how blacks suffered and actually moved economically backwards during Obama's reign. bit.ly/1VJG0jM Black unemployment which reached double digits under Obama has been already cut in half under Trump. bit.ly/2inaiwy
Again, the librarian cautioned me to lower my voice. Folks, I was a bit POed. I was not in the mood to be lectured by a man filled with Leftists' poison; hate and lies. Leftists arrogantly spout their holier than thou brain dead arguments while ignoring facts and truth. They claim the moral high ground while their ideas and policies usually harm people. Minorities are so much better off when they stop sleeping with their Leftist enemies and join the rest of us decent, God-fearing, hard working and patriotic Americans.
Folks, facts did not matter to the librarian. This guy was a fake news media anti-Trump zombie. Finally, the librarian said, "Well, you're in the right town. Folks around here will agree with you!" Then, he turned and hastened away.
Good! I was free to resume my work.
The librarian was a prime example of what we are up against folks. Despite zero evidence, this guy is totally convinced that Trump and his agenda to make America great again is racist and evil.
Trump standing up for America, making her great again has not been pretty. Like making sausage, the process is ugly, but the result is delicious. Powerful forces on both sides of the political isle are doing everything in their power to stop Trump. Democrats and Republicans seek to continue the status quo.
Trump needs us folks. Please stand firm in your support and defense of our president. I'm kind of looking forward to another political sparing session with the librarian. Prayerfully, another dose of truth might penetrate his Leftist zombie-ism.

Another Marcus letter that deserves notice.
My black brother who lives in Baltimore said something that has stuck with me. He said, “I am tired of having to show people (whites) that I am not like them (black thugs).” His comment was made to convince me that NFL players have valid reasons for protesting our country.
I told my brother it is not white America’s fault that blacks commit more crimes than any other race except whites. Blacks are only 13% of the population.
White Americans did not burden my brother with constantly having to show he is not a thug, blacks did. Like our dad, Dr. Rev. Lloyd E. Marcus, my brother is highly respected in his community; awarded for his service as commissioner of his county’s youth football league. However, my brother does dress urban style — the casual attire typical of inner city blacks. No, he does not wear his pants below his butt.
I am a black artisan; singer, songwriter, fine artist and writer. My signature black hat and attire reflect my artistic nature. Nine times out of 10, a white person would be correct in assuming I am a liberal democrat. I am a Christian, conservative, Republican activist. Seeing my artistic appearance and the fact that most blacks are Democrats, it is reasonable for people to assume I am a liberal Democrat. Therefore, it is silly for me to be offended when people read my visual message incorrectly.
Years ago when I moved to Florida, I went to join the local Republican club. When I walked into the meeting room a sweet elderly white woman said, “The Democrats meet down the hall.” I laughed and told her I was in the right place. Did her assumption make her a racist? No. That Republican club was extremely excited to have its second black member. The local Democratic club was 90% black and Hispanic.
Leftist news media and despicable race-baiting democrat politicians have made everyone hypersensitive regarding race. Leftists demand that we abandon common sense.
For example. A Middle-Eastern neighbor was infuriated and in tears because her two brothers who are in their twenties were screened by TSA at the airport. She ranted about how America is riddled with racism. Well, given that 99.9% of terrorist attacks have been committed by Middle-Eastern men between the ages of 18-35, TSA did its job. Her brothers were not abused in any way.
Leftists call us evil racist “profilers” for using common sense, our life experiences and reading the message people send in the way they choose to dress. So much of Liberalism is emotion-driven idiocy.
A Hispanic buddy was mugged on the streets of Baltimore. He saw the group of thuggish dressed black guys approaching him. Typically, using his street smarts (profiling), he would have crossed to the other side of the street before the muggers got to him. Unfortunately, his mind was preoccupied elsewhere.
The idea that profiling is evil is absurd. The dirty little secret is we all profile because it is common sense. If you judged a person incorrectly based on their appearance, you are pleasantly surprised when proven wrong. I don’t see anything wrong with that.
Since moving to West Virginia, two of my new neighbors looked like central-casting, gun-toting, racist rednecks. Both are great guys who helped me on home projects. Giving their appearance, it was wise for me to deal with them with caution before getting to know them.
Remember the book, “Dress for Success”? That book could be re-titled, “How to be Profiled a Winner.” Hookers dress to be profiled as women open for business.
Years ago in Maryland, a white resident saw two suspicious looking black guys walking around her upscale neighborhood. She did not call security for fear of being thought a racist profiler. The two thugs hijacked a white woman’s car and threw her toddler out the window.
I was raised in an all-black suburban community. Whenever we saw white youths walking around, we knew they were there to buy drugs. Did that make us racist profilers or were we simply using common sense and our life experiences? Leftists refuse to allow people to tell the truth or use their brains.

Two Opposing Black Views of America
by Lloyd Marcus The Unhyphenated American
While discussing black movies Fences, Get Out, and Black Panther, my friend said something outrageous. He said it is impossible for a white person in America not to be racist because racism is entwined in all things American. Folks, he sincerely believes his absurd view of America.
He went on to recount horrific incidences of racial injustice: a black boy sharing an elevator with a white girl igniting a race riot, black inventions stolen, and black businesses destroyed. These events happened in the 1920s. And yet the passion with which my friend reported them was as if they had happened yesterday.
My friend's anger at America is as if eight years of Obama never happened and Oprah is not worth three billion dollars. He believes that police routinely murder young black men. He believes that America's evil white power structure labors 24-7, scheming to undermine blacks economically and culturally.
In his circles of black academia, his erroneous beliefs are deemed inarguably true. His colleagues think any black who doesn't subscribe to these obvious truths is either an idiot or an Uncle Tom.
Throughout our phone conservation, my friend repeatedly referred to whites as "crackers." It never dawned on him that his derogatory use of the term "cracker" is as racist as whites calling us the N-word.
My friend was even annoyed by praises showered upon Billy Graham in response to his death. Though he would deny it, my friend has a deep hatred for whites. And yet I have witnessed God use him to bless people. I've come to realize that neither facts nor truth can penetrate my friend erroneously viewing white Americans as blacks' nemesis. Therefore, I am praying for God to heal his vengeful heart against white Americans.
On the bright side, I caught an interview with black Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, a hero of mine.
Justice Thomas said he is worn down by what is going on in our country's culture. Justice Thomas said, "At some point, we're going to be fatigued with everybody being the victim." Justice Thomas recounted a conversation he had with a young black woman who said, "I am really tired of having to play the role of being black. I just want to go to school."
Folks, I know where this black sista is coming from. She just wants to be an American pursuing her dreams without being forced to carry the baggage of viewing herself as a victim of her skin color. Isn't this what civil rights pioneers fought, suffered, and died to achieve?
Decades ago, we allowed leftists to infiltrate public education, transforming our kids into their operatives. Consequently, black Millennials who have never suffered an ounce of racism believe that racial loyalty requires them to riot in the streets demanding racial justice. Leftists have our kids hating and fighting a war with a nonexistent enemy.
If a black awakens on a sunny morning, grateful to be born in the greatest land of opportunity on the planet, viewing the world as his oyster, knowing that between him and God, they can achieve great things – leftists will call that black an Uncle Tom traitor to his race. Leftists have decreed that we black Americans must view ourselves as victims in this evil, eternally racist country.
Clarence Thomas grew up in extreme poverty, familiar with feeling cold and hungry. He was sent to live with his grandfather. Justice Thomas said regarding his grandfather, "He is the single greatest human being I've ever met." Clarence's grandfather would not allow him or his brother to wallow in their bad circumstances, whine, or complain.
With only nine months of education, Clarence's grandfather never saw himself as a victim. He never knew his father, and his mother died when he was 7. His grandmother, who was a freed slave, took him in. And then she died. His uncle, a hard man with 13 kids, took him in. And yet Clarence's grandfather never complained.
Whenever young Clarence wanted to complain, his grandfather would say, "You have to play the hand you're dealt." Clarence's grandfather became a great businessman, including owning his own farm.
Justice Thomas has a bust in his office with his grandfather's favorite quote: "Old Man Can't is dead. I helped bury him." Justice Thomas said that is the mindset his grandfather grew up with.
Isn't Justice Thomas's self-reliant mindset far superior to and more empowering than bitterly viewing oneself as a victim, placing one's success or failure in the hands of someone other than himself? Justice Thomas marveled that he grew up in a world of total illiteracy only to find himself in the Library of Congress. Justice Thomas is expressing the greatness of America, folks.
Why isn't Justice Thomas's grateful and hope-filled vision of America, a land ripe with opportunity, being touted by civil rights activists, inspiring black youths to make right choices to become all they can be? Instead, leftists demand that black Americans view themselves as victims. I choose to live in Justice Thomas's America.
