IS IT "TOO SOON" TO TALK ABOUT TRUMP'S RACISM?

FOUR YOUNG PEOPLE OF COLOR GUNNED DOWN AT WAFFLE HOUSE: TRUMP REMAINS SILENT

It's been nearly three days since Jeffrey Reinking gunned down four people in an early morning rampage at a Waffle House restaurant outside Nashville, Tennessee. Killed were three African Americans and one Latino man. All were young people ranging in age from 20 to 29, three men and one woman. Through an act of courage more people weren't killed when James Shaw grabbed the AR-15 rifle from Reinking's hands and stopped the rampage. Shaw says he was just trying to save his own life but he's been tagged a "hero" and rightly so.

Although we might be becoming numb to mass shootings simply due to their unremitting frequency, it's not often that a President does so as well. Trump has been silent thus far over the Waffle House killings. This is unusual since Trump - faced with other mass shootings - often tweets within hours of such horrific events even when the details of a particular case remain unknown.

Why has Trump not issued one of his signature Tweets in this case? Well not to expostulate on the obvious, Trump is simply racist to his core. Note that three of the victims are African American. One is Latino. And Trump has made it crystal clear about his "feelings" towards both minority groups. From the very beginning of his campaign he has railed against and demeaned Mexicans calling illegals crossing the border criminals and rapists. He has tweeted extensively and negatively about Muslims and crafted a racist Muslim Travel Ban that so far is still hung up in the courts. African American football players taking a knee during the National Anthem? To Trump, not Americans exercising their Constitutional rights of Free Speech and Protest but un-American traitors. "Very fine people" among Ne-Nazi White Supremacists. The list of Trump's racist outpourings is pretty much limitless.

Here are the four young men and woman who were gunned down last Sunday morning outside Nashville.

Joe R. Perez, 20

Mr. Perez grew up in Buda, Tex., just outside of Austin. After graduating from Hays High School in 2016, he moved to Nashville to work with one of his two older brothers in an appliance store. His mother, Patricia, said that she had last spoken to him on Saturday night.

“I told him to be careful because he was out late,” she said. “And he said he would.”

“And then a few hours later, he was gone,” she said.

She had last seen her son, her youngest child, early this year. On the telephone that night, they spoke of Ms. Perez’s upcoming trip to visit him in Nashville. He said he would see her on Wednesday, when he planned to pick her up at the airport.

“And now I will never see him again,” she said. “He was my baby.”

DeEbony Groves, 21

Ms. Groves was a college senior who held two jobs, working shifts when she could step away from her classes and homework at Belmont University in Nashville. Despite her busy schedule, Ms. Groves always found time to visit her grandmother.

“Every chance she could get,” her grandmother, Carolyn Groves, said in an interview.

The visits were usually spur of the moment. Ms. Groves would call her grandmother before lunchtime, say she wanted to spend the day with her and then head to her home in Portland, northeast of Nashville. She always brought food, either a sub sandwich to split or McDonald’s.

“She was a sweetheart,” her grandmother said.

Ms. Groves grew up in Gallatin, a Nashville suburb, and attended Gallatin High School. She made the Lady Green Wave varsity basketball team as a sophomore. She rarely led the team in scoring, but she was the squad’s top defender and was often assigned to guard the opposing team’s best player, her former coach, Kim Kendrick, told The Tennessean.

“She was a great role model for the other players,” Ms. Kendrick said.

After she graduated from high school in 2014, Ms. Groves followed her brother to Belmont University, the liberal arts college whose campus is at the end of Music Row. She also joined the Delta Sigma Theta sorority and was eating with some of her sisters at the Waffle House on Sunday morning.

She first majored in nursing but later changed her focus to social work. Her grandmother said she loved to help people.

“The entire campus community is shocked and devastated by how such senseless violence has taken the life of this young woman, an individual full of immense potential,” the school said in a statement.

She was set to graduate in two weeks.

Taurean C. Sanderlin, 29

Mr. Sanderlin, of Goodlettsville, Tenn., was a Waffle House employee.

The Tennessean reported that the customer who wrested the gun away, James Shaw Jr., overheard Mr. Sanderlin say he was going to take a break before heading outside. Mr. Sanderlin was shot and killed outside the restaurant, the police said.

Walter G. Ehmer, the chief executive of Waffle House, said Mr. Sanderlin had worked for the restaurant chain for about five years. The restaurant where the shooting took place had been open about five months.

A man reached by phone who identified himself as Mr. Sanderlin’s brother declined to comment.

Akilah Dasilva, 23

Mr. Dasilva was a musician and videographer, creating and performing under the name Natrix Dream. He attended Middle Tennessee State University for two semesters, and was last enrolled in 2013, Jimmy Hart, a spokesman for the university, said. His proposed major was computer engineering technology, Mr. Hart said.

As a musician, Mr. Dasilva kept up an online archive of work as he produced it, sometimes in coordination with his brother, Abede. Mr. Dasilva was with his partner, Tia Waggoner, and his brother at the restaurant the night of the shooting, The Tennessean reported.

“Music is my life and I will never stop until I achieve my dreams,” he wrote on his Twitter page.

Ms. Waggoner wrote on Facebook that they had been together for five years. She called Mr. Dasilva “the love of my life.”

“The pain is unbearable,” she wrote.

NOTE: A large part of the unofficial duties of a President of the United States, is to unite America around commonly held beliefs. One such belief is that people whose lives are ended in fusillades of gunfire (Columbine, Charleston, Sandy Hook, Sutherland Springs, etc.) are to be publicly mourned and honored, shown respect and compassion due to the horrific nature of their deaths.

Trump has responded to past such atrocities with tweets and statements, but not this time. Not this time over the Antioch, Tennessee killings. There is only one reason that I can think of for his silence: he simply doesn't care. He doesn't care when the victims are not white. He doesn't care when the victims are Black, or Latino, or Muslim. This is a very sad commentary on the man who serves as the nation's spokesperson, the country's Mourner-In-Chief. But then Trump makes no bones about who he is actually President of: Whites. Exclusively.

We've all heard the hue and cry about how his friends and associates say that he's not a racist, they've never heard him utter a racist word. Well, in the real world, actions speak louder than words. And his racist actions go back far into his past. See how he "commented" on The Central Park Five back in 1989. Think about this. Nearly three decades ago, 29 years to be precise, Trump showed the world just what a racist bastard he truly was.

Nothing has changed.

JAMES SHAW WITH HIS DAUGHTER

PS: Breaking News Headlines: Trump, welcoming French President Macron at the White House, just expressed his heartfelt sympathies for the victims of the terrorist attack that killed 10 people in Toronto, Canada. I will assume that Trump is assuming that all the victims are White and not Afro-Canadian nor Latino-Canadian.

It's too much to bear.
