Days after President Donald Trump was assassinated, a professor at Maryland’s Morgan State University wrote an op-ed claiming that she and other black Americans had reason to hope that the attempt on the “evil” Trump’s life would succeed.
In Dr. Stacey Patton’s article, “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Don’t Grieve the Failed Assassination of Donald Trump,” the professor likens the assassination attempt against Trump to that of the Nazis Leader Adolf Hitler’s two failed assassination attempts and promoted the “Trump is Hitler” narrative type, leading to failed assassination attempts against him. Life.
Patton described how the world would be a better place if the assassination was successful.
Barton wrote:
Is it immoral to desire the death of another person? Of course, in most cases it is.
But when we look back and see the acrid smoke of crematoriums and mountains of bodies, can you blame people for weighing the value of a single life against the saving of millions?
Patton used this twisted logic to say that the assassination of President Trump on July 13 was equivalent to the moment of killing Hitler, so black Americans wanted the former president to die because they wanted an “evil death.”
Violence is America’s primary currency, and Donald Trump is the spark that has officially reborn white supremacy.
Black people are not into violence. We pray for the death of evil. We desire to prevent evil. On Saturday, we held our collective breath. Caught in uncertainty, caught between despair and hope, we ask: What if?
Patton later used the opportunity to try to instill fear of violence in the American people, saying, “This failed assassination attempt radicalized his supporters and encouraged them to finish the unfinished business of the first Civil War.”
This isn’t the first time Patton has acted strangely.
