Want to ‘Take America Back?’

One of the important legs which Trump and his gang hoped would support their whole table of lies about the 2020 election got kicked out and basically smashed to bits yesterday by a federal judge in Georgia who denied a request by Mark Meadows to have his indictment and trial moved from state to federal court.

Meadows wanted to move his trial as far from Fulton County as possible because in Georgia, like in most states, the percentage of blacks of the total population goes up as the particular location becomes more urban, and becomes a ‘whiter’ area as housing projects are replaced by trailer parks.

The attempt by Meadows to find a ‘whiter’ population from which to come up with a jury pool is, of course, a racist strategy in and of itself, because such a strategy assumes that blacks are going to be less honest or less fair when asked to judge the behavior of a defendant who happens to be white.

It figures that Mark Meadows would be the first member of the Trump banda to make this move because, after all, he’s a white guy from the South. And while I’m making my own assumption about what goes into the heads of white Southerners about blacks is often, if not entirely based on some racist crap, in this respect I’m not usually wrong.

You see, I never understood why we took those goddamn thirteen Confederate states back into…
