Glaude: Trump Sits in the Sweet Spot of Three Things - Racism or White Supremacy, Greed and Selfishness

‘And it’s right there that he thrives’

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE JR.: "Look, that's — it is true that black communities are complex and that black men can in some ways inhabit the machismo of patriarchy and want to benefit from it. It's true that some black men, some black people generally are invested in their class status and don't want to be taxed at a certain rate, I'm thinking about Lil Wayne and 50 Cent and others. So that's true, so we can make that claim very clearly. Look, I think it's very important for us to understand that Trump sits in the sweet spot of three things. He sits in the sweet spot of the intersection of racism or white supremacy, the intersection of greed and selfishness, and it's right there that he thrives. And so part of what we have to do, and I think Britney is right in terms of the understanding the moral dimensions, the ethical dimensions of this, is to understand what selfishness and white supremacy is doing and what greed is doing to the polity."
