Opis

The purpose of this volume (1 of 2) is to identify the leading black pastors and conservatives, along with their mainstream mentors, that have enabled the alt-right's white supremacist movement that have captured the White House. Their affiliation with the Trump and Pence ticket contradicts Christian moral and religious values at the expense of the least amongst us, particularly the poor and traditionally disadvantaged blacks and other people of color. In addition, there is evidence that their form of fundamentalism is about to lead to abridgement of the religious rights and personal freedom of non-Christians (Muslim Americans) and Mexican-Americans. To understand this phenomenon, the book looks at the rise of Christian "Sharia law and order" belief's among these enablers. Their radical fundamentalism is married to white racial resentment and anxiety over globalism that favors the outsourcing of jobs. The newly elected president and vice-president, Donald Trump and Mike Pence have exploited the ensuing political and religious anxiety to create a "fascism" that now threatens our constitutional democracy. Black surrogates: pastors, evangelicals, conservative ideologist and activists, along with all African- Americans are subjected to intergenerational Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) that causes them to be psychologically dependent on their oppressor, destructive to their race and self. They become, as if not more oppressive, than white racists. Their "Stockholm syndrome" has become as problematic, if not more so, for the underdevelopment of their own racial group and community. This PTSS was exploited by Republican Party, Trump and his alt-right movement to suppress the black vote and ensure their goal of capturing the presidency and government at the federal and state level. The United States of America was looking at the specter of being a tyrannical, racially and religiously, apartheid state.
