The Blackest Breakdown of Trump's First Week Featuring MC Debra GIFs

Donnie's election as POTUS serves as an affront to the millions of individuals who identify as minority. Whether a member of the LGBTQ community, Jewish, Black, Latino, Immigrant, Muslim, or the white friend of any of these demographics, this administration's presence and actions are alarming and disheartening to say the least. Don-Don's cabinet serves up a cold brand of legislative homophobia: touting North Carolina's "bathroom bill" ( HB2) and proposing implementation of a "First Amendment Defense Act" which would essentially allow racists and bigots to call disparate groups whatever they please. As a celebration of the LGBTQ community and a swift fuck you to Don-Don and his homophobic minions, I have put together a compilation of moments, with MC Debra, a trans icon with epic antics and one of my personal favorite online personas. Special thanks to the Human Rights Campaign article entitled, Donald Trump: Opposes Nationwide Marriage Equality for the facts in this introduction, Ain't no Monica Crowley over here bih ( we believe in citations) .

1. The Women's March



























Chile! White women really tried to come and step right in front of the cause because they finally felt threatened by The Donald. Despite women of color protesting, marching and raising hell for years about pertinent causes, our white sisters just couldn't take it no more and showed up in full force all over the country to protest the Pussy Grabber in Chief. Baby... those white women were furious! They had their little signs and off-beat call and response. It was cute, but like much of the resistance that has been doing this shit for years ( in my Khadeedra Cuvosier voice), I couldn't help but feel a bit amused and annoyed by the impetus of their tipping point. When they killed Trayvon, white women didn't take to the streets ( some but not many). When Sandra Bland died for having an attitude and smoking a cigarette in HER car, I didn't see many white women speaking out. But when Donnie called Hillary a nasty woman and threatened to take away abortions all hell broke loose. Madonna literally didn't give no fucks on TV and threatened to blow up the White House, Meryl Streep went off at the Golden Globes and the resistance "began" all over the place. I'm not going to be petty because no matter how late they are to the party ( Formation 2016 vs Erykah Badu since like forever ago, no shade) I am happy to have them and appreciate their voices.

2. Mexico was like " we not paying for shit"


The Donald has insisted that he is going to build this big fabulous southern border wall to keep our Mexican brothers and sisters out of the country ( that for the most part belonged to them, look at an old map of the US). As if that wasn't scandalous enough, he has insisted that they will pay for said wall. Now I don't know about y'all but I used to watch the Wire on HBO and this sounds like something that Omar, better yet Snoop and Chris would demand from their enemies on some real thug shit rather than a diplomat elected to be the head of the " free world".  

Snoop in husky Baltimore accent: What you gone due (do) is front us 30 kilos
Enemy: I can get it from my connect, just let me live!
Chris: And you gone pay for it...
Enemy: I don't have that kind of cash!
Snoop: Better make somethin' happen nigga


3. Kellyanne Conway stepped out with that tragic ass coat and then had the nerve to defend LIES from the press secretary Sean Spicer by calling them Alternative Facts. She may not be able to actually see our reactions, but she knows that's bullshit.


4. China is not feeling Trump, they saw his meeting with Taiwan and raised him a G check

Trump has basically stepped in and totally disregarded the One China system by talking with Taiwan. Long story short, China is Pimp Snooky ( look him up) and Taiwan is Mika. Nobody talks to Mika without going through Pimp Snooky. Trump has worsened the situation by tweeting about the situation ( even before the inauguration) and China has responded by seizing a sovereign underwater vessel that belongs to the USA in a symbolic move that essentially says " whats up then?". On top of that, one of China's military officials has said that " war with US under Donald Trump is becoming a practical reality". 

5. California is trying to take they good weed, good "sanctuary" and good gun reform talents elsewhere by seceding



For the sake of sparing verbiage, I will just sum this one up quickly. The Californians are contemplating removing themselves from the Federal Union and becoming independent in response to Don Don's election as president. Although it sounds like a good idea it may leave the rest of the country stuck with two terms of Donnie's bullshit. You see without California, Democrats would be short millions of the popular vote ( which would be nightmarish if this country got rid of the electoral college) but would on the other hand also fuck the rest of us over if they kept the electoral college due to California's significant point value in the electoral college. In our best Jodeci voice.... Stay!


Shout out to MC Debra and BallRoomThrowBacksTV for the GIFS and being awesome

Talking In Code: The Closeted Racist Terminology of Trumpians - 3 Terms to Look For

Its no secret that Donald Trump's supporters are some of the most hateful, backwards and asinine people. Just a quick stroll through the rough streets of Twitter can quickly confirm their knack for vitriolic and hateful rhetoric but thanks to Twitter's new policies regarding harassment and hate speech, blatantly racist terms such as " nigger" aren't used as readily as in the past. Given the aforementioned crackdown, Trump's proud deplorables have started to use a coded lingo in order to get their abhorrent messages across. Behold, a short list of dialect that is not to be readily dismissed as innocent banter.

1. Dindu
This is the Trumpian synonym for " nigger". At first glance I mistook this word for some sort of abbreviation or even as mention of an exotic dish of some sort. Boy was I wrong. Dindu is a play on words that insults Afro-American vernacular. Dindu attempts to replace the two words " didn't do". This term is often accompanied by the word " nuffin" as to say " dindu nuffin" or " didn't do nothing". The context of this slanderous term is often accompanied by some news article relating to a black person who has commited a crime. For example, " look at this Dindu, bet he's innocent like the rest of the Black Lives Matter crowd". And surely you will find a link to an article that details some sickening or heinous crime commited by a black male.

This closeted slur implies that Afro-Americans are surely always guilty of commiting crimes and when prosecuted, often plead that we "dindu nuffin". If you here someone in your school, or workplace or perhaps in an establishment you may be frequenting using the term " dindu" most likely if your black... they're talking shit about you.

2. Nig Nog

This term is a bit more obvious than dindu but is just as offensive. The term nig nog has a cutesy feel to it and I can imagine some racist asshole defending his use of the word. The following scenario would most likely play out:

Racist Asshole: "Calm down nig nog, Trump's gonna build that wall."
Black Person: "WTF did you just call me?"
Racist Asshole: "Dude, its not that serious, nig nog is not the same as the n-word. A nig nog can be anything.... why do you people resort to the race-card for everything. "



- We agree Craig, we totally agree

3. Cuck
This one is for the white folks. No seriously, racist Trump deplorables love to insult allies of the Black Lives Matter movement or those sympathetic to the grievances of POC  by using this term quite often. A simple Twitter search confirms its use. This term is used to dismiss non-racist whites (they do exist) in the most disrespectful manner. This simple four-letter word intertwines sexual violence, misogyny and the dangerous erotic villianization of black men at the same damn time!

A cuckold by definition stems from the cuckoo bird laying its eggs in the nest of other birds. By the time the 16th century rolled around, the term cuckold came to allude to a man married to an adulteress. Fast-forward to modern times and the term basically refers to a genre of porn that consists of  white men having their wives banged out in the most disrespectful nature right in from of them. The guys doing the banging of the wife are almost always black men with huge members. One contributor to the online forum, bodybuilding.com, describes the genre as a "compounding result of feminism and female equality, emasculation of men in Western society and white guilt". Racists on Twitter have decided to shorten the term to simply, " cuck", and they throw it around mercilessly. To call a white male who sympathizes with the plight of Afro-Americans a "cuck" is to basically say " hey, don't feel bad for Tyrone, let the police kill him, if not he'll be reclining in your LazyBoy all in your wife's guts while you watch". The term puts forth the age old false notion that black men crave white women and puts the white woman in the position of the ultimate damsel with no control over who engages in sex with her and a mere object to be defiled in order to show male dominance.


There you have it, a short field manual for navigating Trump's America, where closeted insults and slurs fly under the radar.

Donnie and Hitler Part 1- Women

This post serves as the kickoff of a series of posts regarding comparisons of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. After participating in the Women's March, I thought, what better topic to explore than women? After seeing a particular Melania Trump GIF go viral, I seriously contemplated making this post about Trump's similarities to Ike Turner ( still might). Here it goes, a comparison in quotations.



Hitler: The program of our National Socialist Women's Movement has only one point; that point is called the child.
-- Nurnberg Speech (September 8, 1934)

Donnie T: By re-implementing the Global Gag Rule, Donnie has essentially asserted via policy that the woman's role is to care for children. By prohibiting the funding of international healthcare programs who utilize abortion, The Donald is essentially holding the uteri of women all over the world hostage in an effort to concert a forced alignment of logic concerning the issue of abortion. By denying the funding of all sorts of programs based on the contingency of whether or not  these programs implement even the discussion of abortion as a apart of whatever purpose they may serve, he is essentially shoving the " duty" of motherhood down the throats of millions, which at its root keeps the woman in the workplace and forces her to focus on childbearing and rearing rather than occupational endeavors. 



Hitler: A man should be able to leave his stamp on a girl. It's what women like.

The Donald: If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her."
— During an episode of The View in March 2006


Hitler: A man's world is big compared with a woman's. ... The man is all her world. Only occasionally does she think of anything else .... A woman’s love is deeper than a man's. Her intellect is of no great consequence.

Donnie: “I would never buy Ivana any decent jewels or pictures. Why give her negotiable assets?” 

Hitler: When a woman starts thinking about the problems of existence that's bad ... it is apt to get on one's nerves.

Don Don: "I think that putting a wife to work is a very dangerous thing. If you’re in business for yourself, I really think it’s a bad idea. I think that was the single greatest cause of what happened to my marriage with Ivana."
— During an interview with ABC News in 1994

And there you have it.... Donald and Hitler on women, a comparison of quotations part 1. 




Welcome to MABAF


I started this blog to reason with my own doubts, fears, angers and disbelief ( or lack there of) regarding Donald Trump's election as POTUS and recent inauguration. I plan to utilize this web-space as a virtual domain for venting, introspection and eloquent ranting. The mission of this blog is to provide an easily accessible realm for like-minded individuals to identify and to seek reprieve from the ensuing mayhem that is surely ahead of us under Trump's presidency. I can remember the hollow and destitute feeling that often consumed me while George W. Bush was president. I felt discontent, lost and for the most part unheard. Not this time. I plan to chronicle this journey with as much vigor, humor and black girl magic that I can muster. Together here, we can make America laugh at her latest shortcoming. For what is more black than turning sorrow into amusement? I say make America stare into an unflattering front-camera that reveals all of her side-boob. All of the Dorito residue lodged in her back-rolls. A clear view of her low-hanging gut... accumulated by her greed and glutony. I say MAKE AMERICA BLACK AS FUCK!

Black as the impersonations of white folk that Richard Pryor gave us!

Black as the soul of light-skinned activists ( Malcom X, Kathleen Cleaver and Angela Davis) 😅

Black as the countless black women who have sang America's national anthem even though the lyrics literally evoke their demise and the lie that is thee American Dream.

Make it real
Make it pretty under such ugly conditions
Make it dance on tired feet after double shifts of hardwork
Make it something from nothing

MAKE AMERICA BLACK AS FUCK
