A few days after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump, a professor at Morgan State University in Maryland wrote an op-ed stating that she and other Black Americans are justified in wishing that the attempt to kill the “evil” Trump had been successful.
In her article titled “‘Is He Dead?’ Why Black People Are Not Grieving The Failed Assassination Of Donald Trump,” Dr. Stacey Patton, a professor at Morgan State University, compares the attempt on President Trump’s life to two failed assassination attempts against Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and she pushes the ‘Trump is Hitler’ narrative.
Patton argues that the world would have been better off if the assassination attempt had succeeded.
“Is it immoral to yearn for the death of another human being? Of course, it is, in most cases,” she wrote.
“But when we look back upon the past and see the acrid smoke of crematoriums and mountains of bodies, can you blame people for weighing the value of a single life against the salvation of millions?”
Patton employs this twisted reasoning to suggest that the July 13th attempt on President Trump’s life is comparable to killing Hitler. She argues that, as a result, Black Americans might wish for Trump’s death due to their desire to see ‘the death of evil.’
“Violence is America’s main currency and Donald Trump has served as the spark for the official rebirth of white supremacy,” she wrote.
“Black people are not reveling in violence. We are wishing for the death of evil. We are longing for the prevention of evil. For a moment on Saturday, we held our collective breath. We were suspended in uncertainty, caught between desperation and hope, asking: What if?”
Patton then seized the opportunity to stir fears of violence among the American public by stating:
“This failed assassination has radicalized and emboldened his supporters to complete the unfinished business of the first Civil War.”
This isn’t the first time Patton has offered a bizarre opinion.
Her book ‘Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won’t Save Black America’ is part of her mission to educate people that spanking is “the whitest thing you can do.”
