Jay Z's Super Cockroach Analogy

Jay Z, black entrepreneur, billionaire, doesn't think removing Trump from office will turn the racist tide in America.

He equates getting rid of Trump with spraying scented Raid on cockroaches.  

"You spray perfumed roach spray on the trash can and the cockroaches all go back into their holes.  They become resistant to the spray and become Super Cockroaches."

Jay Z was referring to prominent, silver-tongued racists as the cockroaches seeking safe haven.

"Look at Donald Sterling," Jay Z explained.  He lost his team, but all that did is make the other cockroaches go back into their holes."

"It might be better just to talk."

I'm a bit older that Jay Z.  I've seen smooth-tongued devils like racist George Wallace tone down their racist rhetoric, becoming populist.

And David Duke.  No one talked racism more smoothly in the 80's than David Duke, sprayed and scented, but still unequivocally racist.

Yet, I see his point.  Trump has been sprayed again and again and is now resistant to insecticide.
