Trump Lost: Blame Conservative White males!

This Sunday the CBS program, "60 Minutes," broadcast a segment entitled, "A Shot In the Arm," which reported exactly how the U.S. military will distribute the vaccine for COVID-19. In this segment, all of the on-camera persons interviewed, and all of the people in position of control and responsibility for distribution of the vaccine were White: six-(6) White men and four-(4) White women. I'm not playing the race card; as always, the race card has already been played.

Get it?

So, don't talk to me about diversity and inclusion and all that stupid ass crap. Again, nothing has changed. It's all talk - no action, which brings me to President-Elect Joe "racist" Biden.

Just like White men, there are millions and millions of women and people of color (Black, Latinos, Asian, Native Americans) who align themselves to "conservative" principles, but you'd never know it from broadcast television, broadcast radio, and print media. There's a perpetual lily-White-maleness that permeates conservative print and broadcast media.

QUESTION 1: Consequently, given the perpetual absence of women and minorities in lily-White-male owned and controlled print and broadcast media, how in the world could like-minded "conservative" women and "conservative" minorities ever encourage other women and minorities to vote for President Donald Trump?

RESPONSE: As clearly validated by Joe Biden becoming President-Elect, not enough women and minorities voted to re-elect President Trump. It's basic math.

QUESTION 2: Given how close the presidental race was in several key "swing" states, if more "conservative" women and "conservative" minorities had voted for President Trump, would it have been more likely for President Trump to win these swing states?

RESPONSE: Yes, with more votes, President Trump's chances of being re-elected would have been much greater. It's basic math.

QUESTION 3: Is it right to blame anyone for President Trump losing the presidential election, and in particular, it is right to blame conservative White males?

RESPONSE: Yes, it's right to blame someone, and it's damn right to specifically blame conservative White males. For example, at major radio stations operating in Nebraska's two largest urban cities, Lincoln and Omaha, here, take a look at the people immediately responsible for prohibiting, restricting, and limiting the "conservative" voice of women and the "conservative" voice of minorities.

Week after week, month after month, and during the entire duration of Donald Trump's presidency, no "conservative" women and no "conservative" minorities were hired or contracted as a dedicated, regularly scheduled daily or weekly "host" of a KLIN (NRG Media) program to encourage other women and minorities to vote for President Donald Trump and other conservative-minded candidates. In order to have "conservative ideas and principles" and a program on KLIN, must you be White and have a penis? And you wonder why Trump lost?

Clearly, only men are "best suited" to lead at NRG Media; plus a token female.

Week after week, month after month, and during the entire duration of Donald Trump's presidency, no "conservative" women and no "conservative" minorities were hired or contracted as a dedicated, regularly scheduled daily or weekly "host" of a KFOR (AlphaMedia) program to encourage other women and minorities to vote for President Donald Trump and other conservative-minded candidates. In order to have "conservative ideas and principles" and a program on KFOR, must you be White and have a penis? And you wonder why Trump lost?

Omaha's #1 Talk Radio Station

Week after week, month after month, and during the entire duration of Donald Trump's presidency, no "conservative" women and no "conservative" minorities were hired or contracted as a dedicated, regularly scheduled daily or weekly "host" of a KFAB (iHeartMedia) program to encourage other women and minorities to vote for President Donald Trump and other conservative-minded candidates. In order to have "conservative ideas and principles" and a program on KFAB, must you be White and have a penis? And you wonder why Trump lost?

 

(ABOVE) Overtly compliant with directed health meausres for COVID-19, Trip Reynolds guest-hosting for Chris Baker from 2PM to 6PM on KFAB News Radio on August 12, 2020 and August 19, 2020

Over the past four years, I occassionally called-in to Chris Baker's afternoon program and conveyed my support of Baker's conservative observations, which had absolutely nothing to do with me being Black and male. At one point, I conveyed my disappointment about the lack of on-air talent featuring women and minorities, which was not well-received by KFAB management. Nevertheless, eventually KFAB was very gracious and asked me to guest host during Baker's brief absence, and I expressed my gratitude for the opportunity.

Then, in the wake of hosting the program, I submitted a proposal to enable more women and minorities to convey "conservative" values and principles on KFAB. MY PITCH: An eight-(8) week temporary segment leading directly into the presidental election to support Chris Baker’s on-the-air convalescence, lasting no more than thirty-(30) minutes (including 10-minutes of commercial spots) aired during Chris Baker’s program entitled, “Reynolds Rap: Conservative Thoughts from the Silent Majority,” which would feature “live” and/or pre-recorded editorials, each lasting no more than two-(2) minutes, from a decidedly diverse group of “conservative” women and "conservative" minorities who represent Nebraska’s EEO-1s and EEO-4s. Equally important, instead of only targeting KFAB's primary broadcast audience of White males, this segmented program would exploit and "monetize" a significantly greater and a far more diverse demographic that includes "conservative" women and "conservative" minorities.

RESPONSE FROM KFAB: No, thank you.

 

Ironically, instead of embracing its alleged commitment to diversity by including "conservative" minorities as regularly scheduled on-the-air talent with "conservative" White men, iHeartMedia created a "separate but equal" (you stay in your lane, we'll stay in ours) Black Information Network (BIN), as the first and only 24/7 national and local all news audio service dedicated to providing an objective, accurate and trusted source of continual news coverage with a Black voice and perspective. The more things change, the more they stay exactly the same.

Clearly, only men are "best suited" to lead at AlphaMedia; and surprise, surprise two token females.
 
What about broadcast television?

If only "conservative" White men are "best suited" to host mainstream talkshows on radio and on television (Fox News, CNN, etc.), then why didn't wealthy "conservative" alpha-males broadcast content to directly compete with the constant onslaught of negative comments and stories against President Trump? Why didn't they launch any "prime-time" counter-programming to assail the overtly liberal White-male talk show hosts? Well? Well?

 

For nearly four-(4) years President Trump was and remains the constant butt of contemptuous jokes and ridicule by every White-male late night talk show host. It wasn't fair, it was rarely funny, and although for decades and decades I consistently watched Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Arsenio Hall, etc., I completely stopped watching all of these White guys - and I will NEVER go back. Like many people, I've become very comfortable with alternative programming from Netflix, Showtime, TCM, or even better, a book!

Conversely, although the income gap between Black and White people increased throughout his presidency; and although the salary gap between women and men increased throughout his predicency; and although the fate of Native Americans and the Republic of Lakotah did not improve during his presidency; and although the deportation of illegal immigrants increased throughout his presidency; and although Professor Cornel West and Tavis Smiley documented how more White people and minorities became poverty stricken during his presidency than during any previous U.S. President; nevertheless, for eight-(8) years and counting President Obama was constantly treated with "kid gloves" by these two-faced, hypocritical White-male late night talk show hosts; because they didn't want to be labeled a "racist" for pointing out Obama's flaws, and Obama's deceitfulness in telling people he'd bring change while not changing a damn thing except rescuing Wallstreet and force-feeding the penis of Obamacare down everyone's throat. Oh, but it's perfectly okay to call President Trump a racist. Oh, the hypocrisy!

So, what does a "liberal, far-left agenda" mean to YOU?

It's already happening, and it'll get worse as every TV show must have an obligatory LGBTQIBPP+QAAPX cast member, an obligatory LGBTQIBPP+QAAPX game show participant, etc., and for absolutely no purpose except to publicly state, "I'm gay!" Or, "I'm transgender!" Or, whatever.

We must automatically give preferenital treatment ($$$) to all illegal immigrants, and help them to achieve a "good life" in America; homeless U.S. citizens (who are mostly White women and children) MUST wait in line behind illegal immigrants who cut to the front of the line; illegal immigrants MUST be given not equal rights, but more rights than poverty-stricken Native Americans who remain incarcerated on Indian reservations, poor White people, poor Black people, poor Latinos, poor Asians, etc.


It's a big mistake to "overthink" racism, sexism, etc., because as long as ultimate ownership and/or control is held by only one entity or group, the existence of injustice and inequality is perpetual. The "perpetual" problem is that men, mostly White men, who own and control the overwhelming majority of U.S. business and government, make the rules and make all exceptions to the rules (http://www.tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-hurst.htm). Consequently, they unilaterally determine how "equity and equality" are both defined and practiced. We can NEVER ignore race and sex because White men absolutely refuse to objectively measure and subsequently hire the best performer, the best ideas, the best whatever - unless they ultimately own it or control it. Nothing has changed (http://www.tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-wealth.htm), and as validated by the ownership and operation of print and broadcast media, change will NEVER happen. It is what it is.

Man oh man . . . it's damn arrogant for "conservative" White male
print, radio and television hosts to think they can unilaterally speak for
females and minorities. That's really arrogant. Or, if "conservative" White men
are not unilaterally speaking for females (who represent 51% of the U.S. population)
and minorities (who represent 42% of the U.S. population), it's just as damn arrogant
for "conservative" White males to intentionally ignore two demographics
that individually and combined represent a greater percent of the
U.S population than White males.
Oh, yeah, that's really arrogant!

But what a minute! Let's be fair, because some, but not much, of the blame must also go to the extremely limited minority owned and operated print and broadcast media. Where's the network of Black-owned and conservative-oriented print and broadcast media? Shouldn't wealthy Black people, and other minorities, embrace "conservative" principles of discipline and commitment that enabled them to acquire and sustain their wealth, and consequently, improve the socio-economic status of other people of color? Instead, far, far too often wealthy minorities, especially Black people, fall prey to Democratic-liberalism hook, line, and sinker. Instead, Black billionaires and Black multimillionaires remain brainwashed on the stupidity of Willie Lynch-inspired obligatory integration and obligatory assimulation into White culture. The history of the United States of America constantly validates that whenever women and minorities assimulate into While-male owned and controlled culture . . .

Integration doesn't mean a
damn thing unless you OWN it!™


For example, given the wealth acquired by several minorities, especially Black people such as Oprah Winfrey, Bob Johnson, Michael Jordan, etc., where is the Black-owned and Black-operated print and broadcast media? Well? Back in 1998, Black people owned only 168 of 10,315 commercial AM and FM radio stations in the United States, which are concentrated in the southern region of the country and are distributed among 30 states. Twenty-two-(22) years later as reported in, "Off The Dial: Female and Minority Radio Station Ownership in the United States, June 2007" not much as changed:

Women own just 6 percent of all full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, even though they comprise 51 percent of the U.S. population. Just think, not even smart and creative conservative women like Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and Laura Ingraham as treated as "well" as their conservative White-male colleagues.

Racial or ethnic minorities own just 7.7 percent of all full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, though they account for 33 percent of the U.S. population.

Latinos owned just 2.9 percent of all U.S. full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, but they comprise 15 percent of the U.S. population and are the nation’s largest ethnic minority group.

African-Americans own only 3.4 percent of this country’s full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, but account for 13 percent of the entire U.S. population.

People of Asian descent own less than 1 percent of full-power commercial broadcast radio stations, though they make up 4 percent of the U.S. population.

Non-Hispanic white owners control 87.2 percent of the full-power commercial broadcast radio stations operating in the United States.

Unfortunately, there are NO Black-owned local television stations in the United States of America - period. At best, there's a handful of cable-based Black-owned pseudo-networks often partly owned by White people and broadcast through much larger White-owned and White-controlled networks, such as Comcast, COX Communication, DirecTV, Time Warner Cable, etc. For example:

BET (Black Entertainment Television) is a property of White-owned ViacomCBS.

Aspire TV - Owned by Magic Johnson Enterprises but with limited distribution by DirecTV, Comcast, AT&T

TV One - Owned by the largest African-American-owned broadcasting company in the United States, Urban One, operating 55 radio stations and majority-owning the syndicator Reach Media, as well as its digital arm Interactive One, and the cable network TV One and Cleo TV.

OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) is primarily the property of White-owned Discovery, Inc., and minority owner Harpo Productions. Oprah Winfrey is contracted with the channel through at least 2025.

Bounce TV - Founded by Martin Luther King III, Andrew Young, and Andrew "Bo" Young III, is a property of White-owned E. W. Scripps Company.


Clearly, do NOT blame White people for the stupidity of Berry Gordy, and his lack of business acumen and lack of "Blackness" for selling Motown to White people. Do NOT blame White people for the stupidity of Robert Johnson, and his lack of business acumen and lack of "Blackness" for selling BET to White people. Do NOT blame White people for Oprah Winfrey's stupidity and hatred of Black men, her hatred of the traditional Black family and marriage, and her extremely low self-esteem that propelled her to be perennially obese; but question why Winfrey launched the television success of two White men who were already "rich," Dr. Phil McGraw (Dr. Phil) and Dr. Mehmet Cengiz (Dr. Öz), instead of using her media influence to make Black men and Black women multi-millionaires. Do NOT blame White people for Bill Cosby's stupidity and predilection to chase pussy instead of using his creative and financial influence to work with other prominent Black people to create a Black-ish version of Disney, TimeWarner, Comcast/NBC/Universal, ViacomCBS, Sony, etc. Do NOT blame White people because the biggest and wealthiest Black musical artists like Michael Jackson and Prince had a predilection for drugs instead of using their creative and financial influence to work with other prominent Black people to create a Black-ish version of Disney, TimeWarner, Comcast/NBC/Universal, Sony, etc. Do you get it? Stop blaming White people; instead blame Berry Gordy, Oprah, Bob Johnson, Prince, Spike Lee, Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, 50 Cent, Beyoncé, Tiger Woods, Floyd Mayeather, Jr., Jay Z, Tyler Perry, Cathy Hughes, etc.


If "systemic racism and systemic sexism" did not or does not exist in the United States, how could the New York Times find the data, confirm the accuracy of the data, and then on September 9, 2020 publish the data, "Faces of Power: 80% Are White, Even as U.S. Becomes More Diverse," that (yet again) validates the perpetual existence of systemic racism and systemic sexism?

Some people erroneously believe an anti-white sentiment has suddenly piled up over the decades, which is not true. It's less anti-White but more anti-injustice. Unlike White people (http://mappingdecline.lib.uiowa.edu/map/), and despite the genocide of Native Americans and their perpetual incarceration; and despite the enslavement, exploitation, racism, and oppression of Black people; and despite the exploitation, oppression, and racism of Latinos; and despite the oppression, incarceration, and racism of Asians, nevertheless, people of color have consistently proven to be more accepting of White people (http://www.tripoetry.com/Black.htm#14). People, including poor White people, have always resented injustice (http://www.tripoetry.com/Letters/reynoldsrap-wealth.htm). You do see the problem having a government supposedly founded on the principles of a democratic republic, but NEVER actually providing true "access" to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to poor people, women, and minorities, right? And to make things even worse, "now" we're supposed to allow illegal immigrants and LGBTQIBPP+QAAPX to leap-frog over women, minorities, disabled, and senior citizens and cut to the front of the "equal opportunity" line.

In summary, "conservative" women and "conservative" minorities are perpetually excluded from mainstream print and broadcast media. If you're a conservative White male, after excluding "conservative" women and "conservative" minorities from showcasing their support for President Trump, did you really expect President Trump to be re-elected?

You blew it.

I welcome your feedback.
