It’s a GIGANTIC lie that Donald Trump supports the Troops and here’s why:
The Face of our modern US Military is an African American woman. When you look at the numbers it’s staggeringly obvious.
African Americans only comprise 13% of our population of the United States. Yet Black Women comprise 30.1% of all women in the US Military.
The fact that African Americans comprise 17% of all men in the Military is impressive, but the numbers for the women are so substantial, Donald Trump cannot fundamentally claim to support our Troops while ignoring the pleas of millions of African Americans regarding the menace of police brutality. A frightening reality we can solve, that is continually captured on our phones and the body cams of police officers that are not being fired and prosecuted in the best interests of a Free society.
Black Women are so patriotic in this country they almost break the charts. The other conveniently ignored truth by White Supremacists that pretend the Support The Troops? Native Americans have the highest number of Veterans per capita, and that has been the Truth since the Revolutionary War.
These numbers don’t tell the story of how much White Americans have sacrificed for this Country. My father is an Anglo Saxon American hero himself who will never get credit for his Top Secret work in Vietnam.
But while 77.35% of US population is White, White men only compose 69.5% of the ranks of men in the Armed Forces.
When Trump supporters claim he supports the Troops, show them the faces of our most patriotic Americans per capita. You cannot honestly do so without properly representing the disproportionate sacrifices of Black Women in America, fighting for our freedom, far away from the families in loved ones, ready to die to for a Freedom Black Women in this Country are begging us to Honor.
Donald Trump does not Support The Troops. He never has. And until he supports and respects the Rights of Black Women and their Children, he never will.
