White privilege is a lie; American privilege is the truth.

White privilege is a slogan that comes from a concept called Conflict Theory promoted by Karl Marx, the founder of communism. Marx believed that if you create conflicts among different groups in society, anarchy follows. Anarchy will allow communism to capture that country, ours.

Ask these African Americans if they do not think that American privilege is the truth: Ken Fraser, CEO of Merck Pharmaceuticals; Berry Gordy, founder of Motown Records (worth over $300 million); Lebron James and Michael Jordan, multi-millionaires; Carla Harris, executive of Morgan Stanley; Kourtney Gibson, president of Loop Capital; Robert Johnson, billionaire founder of Black Entertainment TV; President Obama and Senator Kamala Harris; and many other successful African Americans.

The question is, why are President Obama and Sen. Harris not speaking out, telling us that their success in life is because they are Americans. Perhaps it is because they see a political advantage in having civil unrest here continue.

If you want the civil unrest to stop and maintain an environment for American people of color to have safe neighborhoods and the freedom to achieve the American dream, you need to vote for President Trump. He has created an economy with the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years for African Americans.
