Mr. Rogers says, it's okay to be white.

Who says it's not okay to be white?

It's also okay to not be. And to also be different.

Anyone who blames “white privilege” for their problems.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone blaming white privilege for their problems. I've heard people use the term as in calling it out. I struggle to understand what they mean sometimes and don't always agree. Many times I at least get the point they are trying to make.

There is no question that millions of blacks returned from WWII and were not given the same GI bill access to education or loans for housing that white soldiers were given. We saw the greatest boom in middle class wealth in the 25yrs after the war, where millions were made in increased wealth due to better education and the jobs created because of it and property values skyrocketing. Many blacks were left out of that.

Well you can actually thank southern democrats for the exclusion of black soldiers in the GI Bill. And of course the civil rights movement didn’t start until 10 years after WWII.

But honestly, that is no excuse for today. “White Privilege” is used today to somehow claim I, as a white person, have advantages over other races. And that with these advantages, it is somehow my fault, or white people’s fault, they don’t succeed. “The man is keeping me down” is the phrase that use to be used, referring to white men.

There is less excuse today, yes.

But, through the increase in wealth created from the better education, better jobs, improved real estate sales, created a better childhood for the children and more advantages that live on today for those children.

That isn't your fault but that doesn't make it not true. Just like any second or third generation college student has advantages over a first generation college student. Generally, not in all cases but percentage wise, they have advantages.

Explain to me how a 2nd or 3rd generation college student would have advantages over a 1st generation college student?

Son, I went to BU, we need to go visit so I can show you around. An old college buddy works in admissions. He says we can do a tour this weekend. Your mom went to Dartmouth. We'll help you through the admissions process and visit schools this summer during my 4 weeks off at the great job I have myself, due to my own education. We've signed you up for an SAT prep happening in two weeks.

You seriously have to ask how a 2nd or 3rd gen student would have an advantage over a 1st, gen with parents who know nothing about admissions, funding, or the entire process and likely have much less money and time off to visit schools?

How is it an advantage, when it is very possible for a 1st generation college student to go to the same school as a 2nd or 3rd generation college student and receive the exact same education?

I was the first in my fam to graduate college. I'm telling you, there is a difference. My parents knew nothing about the process. Many people I know had parents who flipped out that their kids even wanted to go to college and prevented them from doing so! For multiple reasons, fear of losing them to partying, fear of losing them because they knew they would move away, fear from just being poor and miserable and living their entire lives that way.

I had to handle the entire process knowing nothing about it. No idea what schools to look at, no idea what direction I should go, no idea what my strengths even were. I also had to find all my own funds to do so and working full time as I was doing it.

Yes, both a 3rd gen and 1st gen can get the same education at the same school but for a far greater percentage of the 1st gens, it is a near miracle they manage to even complete it!

And that has nothing to do with “White Privilege”. But yet that is what they will blame, trying to claim it is somehow my fault (or other white people’s fault) and try to make me feel bad for being white.

And honestly, that seems like a self-motivational problem than it does with anything to do with race. The opportunities are there for them, they just need to want it in order to get it. All I see is excuses being made. The only thing keeping them from succeeding is themselves.

By saying it's a self-motivational problem, you can just wash your hands of the whole thing. I've given plenty of examples of other issues that are part of the problem. You simply can't discount the pressure people get from their own family, trying to force them to be the way they are and not to better themselves. People are small minded. There are parents out there that are jealous of their kids and play head games with them, making life difficult so that they cannot succeed in college, keeping them down.

"Who says it's not okay to be white?"

Anyone who ever got angered by the statement "it's okay to be white" and called it "white supremacy".

You have to read the comments below. We've had a long conversation about this and it's a lot bigger discussion than your comment suggests.

Ummm... Like all the media?

Explain. Give examples.

Like when posters went up saying exactly that and universities and the media said that was hate speech. That it's was okay to be white.

You missed that?

"In my mind, it's a nonthreatening statement" Washington State University, Phil Weiler, Vice President of University Communications

A police department spokesperson at Berkley said "the signs did not constitute a hate crime because they did not target a specific race and because no criminal act was committed"

Not everyone was immediately flipping out over this slogan. It looks like most people maintained a level head to try to figure out the intention of creating and posting it in the first place. Of course it's okay to be white. What's the need to say this? Same question I had.

What was discovered:
"The suggestion for the use of posters with the saying originated on the message board /pol/ of 4chan, with the intent of provoking reactions. The saying was later spread by neo-Nazi groups and politically organized racists, including former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke and The Daily Stormer.[4] A report by the ADL states that the phrase itself has a history within the white supremacist movement going back to 2001 when it was used as the title of a song by a white power music group called Aggressive Force as well as fliers with the phrase being spotted in 2005 and the slogan being used by a member of the United Klans of America."

So you don't mind being associated with those individuals.

Thank you for letting us know, I guess.

This was a trend that pretty much tanked world wide, not just in America. A New Zealand company stopped selling printed T's with the quote once they realized its origin and people started to complain. The Australian government unanimously voted down the, It's Okay to be White" motion in their Senate.

If you can't understand why there was a world wide negative reaction, underlying motives and subtlety is lost to you.

Yes, a senate voted that it's not okay to be white.

Take a second and think about that. Really.

That's not what they voted against. They voted against racism. Just how many non-white people do you think there are in the Australian government? You're saying they hate themselves.

Yeah. Maybe some do and maybe some are scared to admit otherwise cuz there would be people like you crying rayyccccciiiiiissssss.

Yeah well.... it was a unanimous vote so that pretty much ended the discussion either way.

Yeah, i'll tell ya what. Lean in closer.

I'll never be ashamed for being white. You hear that?

I don't give a shit where it comes from. When the saying 'It's okay to be white' is considered offensive, i'll tell you or anyone to f**k off every time.

Thanks for proving their point. The point that an innocuous slogan would be offensive if it defended white people.

Seriously dude, absolutely no one cares that you're white. NOBODY. You are no better than anybody else or no worse, due to your skin color. And, nobody finds your whiteness offensive unless they have problems of their own.

I have to believe most normal thinking individuals would find it a bit strange to see someone, (Anyone) walk around with a chip on their shoulder over the color of their skin. Look at me everyone, I'm "_______". Fill in the color that I just happened to be born with.

Who gives a f**k what color you are? What are you trying to prove?

The only way you make sense here, is if you have a problem with people who are NOT white. Which, makes your skin color insignificant but your mindset, offensive to everyone.

Holy strawman Batman. So if I agree with that statement 'it's okay to be white', I have a problem with others?

All you lefties are exactly the same. All projection and strawman. Point me to a single place I talked about anything other than not accepting that I have no obligation to say it's not okay to be white.

Disgusting.

No one would have a problem with anyone who thinks it's okay to be white. Parading the slogan around town, posting it everywhere with the backing of neo-nazzzii's and dirtbags that honest people in the world find disgusting, yeah, most people would then see the true intentions in the act and tell you to go pound sand. What is there about that you don't understand?

Then would the world hold people like Al Sharpton to that same example? Or your beloved 'squad', IF it was just outrage over racebaiting?

Which as I explained, is moot since the universities took action BEFORE they knew it was a troll. Which, was the whole point.

Who says it's MY beloved squad? I don't pay much attention to them. It's people on your side who are so obsessed.

Don't pay any attention to Al either. He's too old and speaks too slow to listen to.

You're basically saying everyone loves what those people say. You know that's not true. They likely get more hate mail than any neo-nazzziiiii.

I could care less what your opinion of the people that put it up. The fallout and outraged happened before it was known who did it, thus proving the point that only one group, ethnic group, has hate speech applied to the sentiment that it's OKAY to be you.

What do you not understand about that?

Okay, you're simply wrong in your statement. I listed statements from officials at different schools with the opposite reaction you claim EVERYONE had. So, you need to recalibrate your initial take on the worlds perception of the action. You're wrong in that thinking.

It was also likely that those on the fringes who deal with racism every day, realized the intent the moment they saw it.

Why do you feel you are a member of such an oppressed group of people? How have you been wronged throughout your life that makes you feel you've been cheated so badly?

Oh but you need to care what other peoples opinion of neo-naziii's and snakes are, in order to understand!

My opinion here doesn't matter. I was so removed from the issue at the time I either didn't hear about it or had forgotten it. It's the opinion of the world that YOU need to understand in order to understand why it mattered!

YOUR INITIAL STATEMENT:

"Who says it's not okay to be white?"

Again, no one is saying it's not okay to be white. They are saying it's not okay to race bait.

Who said I was cheated so badly?

Hey, I'm just trying to understand why you have such a wide hair across your ass!

What wide hair?? I've been pretty cool although you've tried to guilt me by association to nazzzzzzzis because I agree that it's okay to be white.

Again, barking up an empty tree. EVERYBODY agrees it's okay to be white.

Both Al and those 4 have real power.

Altho aoc is at 22% favorablility, Omar at 9%. I agree to an extent, but they make so much noise, even before Trump got involved.

I like debating you. You ignore alot of my points but whatever. At least you'll put the effort in.

They don't have much power. Just from their district. Not nearly the power the tea party people had over the GOP after they were first elected. Nancy is trying to tamp them down the same way the GOP tried to tamp down the tea party people.

Tucker Carlson has more power than those four.

I know little about the green new deal. Some of it looks stupid and will never happen. Some of it looks like a good idea. There is no question we need to advance ahead to be the world leader in clean power.

1. One cow produces as much greenhouse gas as an average auto. We can't have 10 billion people eating hamburgers. She's right about that.

Guns will never be outlawed. In our lifetimes, it WON'T happen.

So many of the things people are worried about, are nothing to worry about.

Again, why the chip on your shoulder. NOBODY CARES about your skin color.

Until someone says 'it's okay to be white'.

That's the whole point. Are you stupid?

If no one CARED, why was it a problem?

I shouldn't ask if you're stupid, because you're not. But I think you're probably just not seeing that me having to defend that slogan when you'd have zero problem with even Farrakhan saying it's okay to be black and would never ever challenge that. Or anyone from any other group.

Again, don't care. I don't care if someone says it's okay to be black or white. Makes no diff. It's not about the slogan.

Don't know Farrakhan's motives. Don't care. If they were negative and he's anti-white, wishing to string up whites like many whites strung up blacks, yeah, there is a problem with it and people around the world would agree.

You seriously need to ask yourself, "If virtually everyone around the world is NOT getting my point, maybe I'm the one who's not getting this?".

Muh appeal to popularity.

It is

Okay to be white. That's me saying it. Not anyone else.

People would agree it's not okay to be black because one black guy strung up whites? I don't think so lol

"The world" is not popularity.

"The world" is cross culturally accepted norms of mankind and how one must live to be a decent person in that world.

"It's okay to be white", has been obfuscated by negative, cross culturally hated people. The "slogan" won't be accepted as anything other than race baiting, till someone or something positive comes along and somehow changes the term to the point that it is acceptable.

No one who finds offense the term because of the race baiting heritage it was created in, hate or wish ill of white people in general.

You're barking up a tree that has no cat.

It was words on paper on a wall. What you uncovered 426 days later doesn't matter.

"The world" once supported slavery.

"The world" can get things wrong and right.

You're seriously counting the days since that happened?
Yeah, what I uncovered does matter because your narrative is skewed from reality. You can't just pass it off.
You're the one with the problem here, not the world.
By the time the issue was hitting other nations, it wasn't about a piece of paper any longer but surprise, surprise, people had the same reaction didn't they? it was about a T shirt, about laws being created, still met the same way by people who saw through it for what it was.

What? You think there is some grand scheme to wipe white people off the planet and 99% of white people are in on it?

Yeah, the world once supported slavery. The world also thought the earth was the center of the universe. We've learned a bit since those days. Do we need to learn more? Sure, we likely get some things wrong but there is no turning back.

By the way, with that logic, someone saying' it's okay to kill white people' would be acceptable if David Duke denounced it.

Wow, no. It's not okay to kill people. Can't believe I have to explain that to you.

You get my exaggerated point.

There is a difference between even the lowest form of life saying the obvious, "hey man, you shouldn't kill people" and that same lowest form of life, instigating and race baiting people for a reaction. At that point, the sign could have said the "sky is blue". Anyone defending, "the sky is blue" is not arguing for the fact that the sky is blue, they are arguing for the lowest form of life.

Pretty simple, straight forward stuff here!

Who are you as a far leftist to cry about racebaiting and people finding a difference in race?

Will you join with me to end affirmative action and bring back meritocracy in higher education? The best gets accepted REGARDLESS of race, creed or color?

I have generally lived my life not worrying about ANY advantage anyone else has. They will have to be damn good to do better than I will and in the end, if they aren't, they won't. Not worried about affirmative action. They can give all the handouts they want to whomever they want. It means nothing against my own performance.

Yeah, UNLESS you're an Asian guy who didn't get accepted because someone else with a 'more important' color and a lower SAT gets in.

Why won't you acknowledge that racist policy? Aren't you against racism? Do you want Asians not to be discriminated against?

Yeah, that's a problem. Asian median household income is 1/3rd higher than for whites in America, so that's a problem too. 80k vs 61k.

Median household income for blacks is 38.5k.
Asian median household income is more than twice that of black households so, there is that problem too.

The overall problem isn't so black and white/easy to solve.

Stop deflecting. I alreadt admitted it was an exaggerated example. Address my point. "it's okay to shun white people'. David Duke says no. That to you is automatic justification that it's right. That's your standard. If Duke pushes it, it must be wrong.

But okay. Someone saying that sky is blue because a low life form said it is is wrong. And arguing for some other beliefs. lol I see why you want to tear down statues of flawed men from the past. Let me make one assumption since your posts have been full of them.

You're just not getting it. I'm NOT deflecting! I'm telling you the slogan is of NO consequence. The sky is blue, white people matter, don't be offended by peoples reaction to the slogan when the slogan is of no consequence. People don't care about the color of either. They are offended by race baiting, haters trying to find differences in color!

In one way I agree. Harvard still carries weight, i guess, but anything but stem courses is kinda a waste. And altho some are discriminated against, a high IQ person has a good chance to succeed regardless.

I can repect where you are coming from with your 'it's similar to free trade' post. I like the 'based on their local economy' point.

So you lived your life without it being impacted by discrimination. Congratulations on your privilege. Now go tell that Asian guy that he can't get into Harvard because someone else with a lower score, but the 'right' ethnicity got in ahead of them.

It's not right, sure. But, if he can get into Harvard with his scores, he's got nearly the entire rest of the world for other options.

Aren't they kind of winning the battle in court? It's being seen as wrong.

Affirmative action means EVERYTHING against your performance. DEPENDING your ethnicity.

I say meritocracy. Chips fall where they may.

It's similar to free trade. There is no such thing as free trade when the country you're dealing with has child labor working for 5 dollars a week to feed their family.

Ideally, there would be a system in place to be sure workers in all countries make some kind of standard level of wage for whatever country they happen to live in based on their local economy. Ideally there would also be a system in place to be sure that their land isn't being polluted badly by industry just so they can under cut American companies and produce goods cheaper, while polluting the land people need to live on. Both these things happen all the time.

That kind of system would level the playing field for world wide free trade.

When a 1st gen kid enters the system, sometimes they are dealing with the same type of deficits a 3rd world worker in a locked manufacturing plant might be dealing with. It's not equal between that 3rd world worker vs any American worker dealing with our high costs and OSHA, any more than it is equal between a highly successful 3rd gen family vs a barely scraping by 1st gen kid going through the process on his own.

There is nothing wrong with helping lift up people who are willing to work. That is the American way and is what made our nation great.

Today, our government is charging 7% on college loans. They are essentially making money off people who are just trying to work hard and improve themselves.

These red comments!

I think it's still in court but I honestly can't see how they can lose. Plus alot of times people that are put in there with lower grades can't cope, drop out and are saddled with debt with nothing to show for it, which sucks.

Sometimes they can't cope and have low grades because of the guilt the family is putting on them and the bs happening at home.

It seems I always confuse you with Whistlelock lol but was it you that I had reasonable discussions about climate change with? Or was that him?

I'm glad we didn't have to end on a sour note. It's just all these red comments.

Not sure, I sometimes talk about climate change.

There's something you are not taking into consideration.

If some young white kid sees the uproar over the statement but DOESN'T know the context for which the people are protesting it, they will be left with the idea it's not okay to be white.

Possibly. Hopefully they will ask enough questions to understand.

That's the problem with satire in general. Leaders in 3rd world countries don't even get it.

So if Hitler stated a fact like "water is wet", you're saying anyone that agrees with that statement and defends it is as bad as a nazi, and yet you can't understand why people have a problem with lefties?

Water is wet, it's okay to be white, the sky is blue, do you see any similarities between these statements?

Everyone agrees with all these statements and not one of them NEEDS defending.

There is an underlying reason people say things that don't need to be said. The only strange thing here is the need to defend them!

Everyone would agree with Hitler that water is wet, even tho he killed millions of people. Everyone agrees with even the most racist, snake in the grass that it's okay to be white, everyone agrees that the sky is blue.

Like I've said numerous times, it's not the statement. The statements sole purpose is to provoke people who know there is an underlying reason for saying it.

If you repeatedly defend Hitlers obvious statement that water is wet, most people will interpret that as a sign you support Hitler and his other actions because what is obvious to EVERYONE, is that water is wet and doesn't need defending!

"If you repeatedly defend Hitlers obvious statement that water is wet, most people will interpret that as a sign you support Hitler and his other actions because what is obvious to EVERYONE, is that water is wet and doesn't need defending!"

Stop a sec and think about how contradictory that statement is. Why would anyone "repeatedly defend Hitler's obvious statement that water is wet", unless they /had to/ defend it? The only reason it would have to be defended is against someone /attacking/ the obvious statement that water is wet.

That's the position conservatives are in these days, having to defend blatantly obvious, scientifically proven facts against ridiculously moronic "progressive" claims. And now, with your arguments, you're making me wonder if that's deliberate on the part of you people, making completely idiotic claims precisely so you can find any slightest shred of justification in claiming all conservatives are "literally Hitler" when they try to defend against those claims.

Gawd.

No one is attacking the obvious statement. As I have likely said, ten times!

And, don't bring up the idea that any conservative has to defend blatantly obvious, scientifically proven facts of ANY kind! Scientific facts are not something in the conservative corner lately.

Dude, there are plenty of people that thinks there's 40-70 different genders. Even if you think they are far left extremists, they still exist. That isn't made up by the left.

Right, because it's a scientific fact now apparently, according to the left, that there is no biological difference between men and women, and yet there are at least 78 genders... *snort* Glass houses, chum.

And I didn't exactly say anyone was attacking obvious statements, only that IF they have to be defended, it's blindingly obvious that attacks are what they'd have to be defended from. It's almost embarrassing to have to point that out to you

I'm about as left as any normal person should be. I know of no one claiming 78 genders. That's all right generated garbage to delegitimize the left.

You've got your panties in a knot over something like 1% of the population who in some weird way that makes no sense to me or you, identify differently. It's not worth bringing up. Who gives a flying fig? Obviously they have something different in them that make them different. Otherwise you could tell me about the day you realized you were not pansexual. I know for me, that day does not exist. I am who I am.

I'm more concerned with leaving a planet for my kids that can support life. That's kind of important science!

Yeah, I'd delete that as well.

"The suggestion for the use of posters with the saying originated on the message board /pol/ of 4chan, with the intent of provoking reactions"

And look what happened. It worked like a charm, didn't it? Why? Because the state of the left has gotten to such a point that they /knew/ a harmless phrase would provoke a reaction, the same way they knew the left would grab onto those stupid jokes about the "Ok" hand sign being a symbol of white power, or milk being racist.

You know what else white supremacists do? Drink liquids and eat foods. Guess we better put those things on hate crime lists too.

In honesty, I find that ADL "report" to be highly dubious, since real white supremacists wouldn't be so passively apologetic as to say "it's okay to be white", they'd be proudly spouting "it's /better/ to be white".

And that's not even counting the fact that the ADL is about as reliable a source as the SPLC, or the National Enquirer.

It's called satire. If anyone gets satire it's people on the left.

Many people on the right thought that Colbert was a Republican.

You have a point. Most white supremacists don't get irony or satire. Although, 9-11 happened so, even the ignorant can occasionally be successful.

F**k off Mikki. You won't bully me to be ashamed of who I am.

That being white before you misinterpret me.

The actual phrase was developed to be a troll, some of the alt-left fell for it called the phrase racist as a reflex action and dump people that say it in with the alt right. https://www.snopes.com/news/2017/03/30/antifa-white-posters-seattle/

Your statement supports what I've been saying in multiple posts. It was developed to be a troll for the sole purpose of provoking people because obviously, it is okay to be white. Everyone can agree with the statement and most understand there is an alternative reason for stating something so obvious.

Many people have reflexively called the statement racist. It doesn't really work as a troll if people do not fall into that trap. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/oct/16/its-ok-to-be-white-is-not-a-joke-its-careless-politicians-helping-the-far-right

No, it's not a reflex to immediately be triggered by saying the obvious. People are triggered because they understand satire and know there is an underlying premise to the simple statement, "it's okay to be white".

The statement hits on several levels. Obviously, it is okay to be white, everyone knows this and agrees with it, that's why it needn't not be said.

1. So, why is it being said? That is the first question people ponder and none of the reasons that come to mind are positive. People don't just automatically become angry because they want to get angry. That makes no sense. People go through a process of understanding what things are supposed to mean before they react. Just because you cannot understand why they get angry, doesn't mean their reasons for getting angry are not legitimate or warranted. Maybe you just don't get satire.

2. It's being said to trigger people who believe, "black lives matter".
(A phrase that shouldn't need to be said yet still triggers many people!) People have vigorously worked to delegitimize the very fact that of course, black lives matter!

3. It's being said to trigger people who believe, Alt-right/skin head, low life's are finding a voice and coming out from under the rocks they should still be under. Because of course, if you don't like the phrase, "black lives matter" and want to cut that down, you just might like the phrase, "it's okay to be white". You see, people can rationalize why something is being said without being told why it is being said! All while still understanding that of course, it's okay to be white.

4. It's being said by white people who feel the white majority is somehow being threatened and not getting a fair share any longer in America. Again, people who are tired of the LGBTQ crap and rights for everyone while the whites seem to be getting overlooked, I get that.

Still, nobody likes it or appreciates it when a complete stranger walks into an elevator and loudly farts all over everyone. It's just rude. Can that stranger then strike up a conversation and try to convince anyone in the elevator to their way of thinking while the stench is still in the air? No. They blew it, so to speak.

So, the bottom line is, this is bullshit. Don't shit on people to prove your point. People won't listen to you. All it will do is delegitimize your ideology further and make people want to steer clear of you.

I've actually heard liberal say they feel guilty for dating someone that's white. And many people to fly off the handle stating that it is not Ok to be white and scream racism non-satirically over the phrase. Further you get calls about how white people are inherently bad and calls for white genocide. It in the end not really BS but tapping on that nerve that some people (usually ironically other white people that are well off) have about hating white people, especially poor whites, in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baizuo

That is the most ignorant post I've seen in a long time. Good job.

How so? You act like there is no animus towards whites from certain sjw like groups. We've all seen the double standards.

Don't be a snowflake. Stop crying about how all the poor white people are getting beat up. It's pathetic.

Just look at the faces in congress, even the faces running for President on the left. Out of 20, all but 3 or so are white. Yeah....... we don't stand a chance against all those darkies who hate us and are on the verge of taking over our nation.

Don't strawman me. Don't be a pathetic cuck either. You were arguing honestly with me before, what happened?

It is pathetic to continue crying about poor white people being hated on.

That's just a fact. Who cares if there is animus? Who cares!
I've never cared what others think of me. Why? Because people suck anyway.

You really need to get off the race thing. I care more about people of ANY color, living on the welfare system for generation over generation. If you believe in evolution, this a problem. Just what exactly are we doing to the human race when we house and feed generation over generation of people so they can have more children and spread more of their genes than those who work and can only afford to have one or two kids?

There is NO difference between black and white people other than their skin. I don't care what color people are, I don't like supporting people who don't have the work gene, so they can outnumber and have more kids than I can. THAT IS A PROBLEM!

There are plenty of non-working whites. You're missing the problem by continually concentrating on the color of peoples skin.

Rationalize it away as you will. I can't even talk about it with you without you utterly strawmaning me.

When you can't respond, that automatically means I'm strawmaning you.

Just look at the most recent thread of political memes. They are all hate. There is nothing positive. Nothing to make people think or consider another point of view. Libs are socialists. Hillary is awful, AOC is stupid, 4 colored women need to go back to their country's.

It's nasty, nasty stuff, playing to the most ugly underbelly of our nation and anyone who truly looks at it, should want no part of it.

Have you been on a campus lately?

Have you never heard of Nick Sandmann?

Do you not read the memes here?

Just because you choose to ignore reality doesn't mean I will. *shrugs*

Boy, one white kids gets undeserved criticism a year ago and you're still crying over it just because he had his MAGA hat on. His 250 million lawsuits been dismissed. Sorry for you.

It was thrown out because his defamation claim, never made a lick of sense in an AMERICAN court!

What else you got? Got any Hillary hating? She's only been out of the picture for a little more than two years. Still relatively fresh in your mind I would think.

You got the Presidency, you got up till recently, both houses. What are you feeling so cheated out of? Honestly, there is some truth to the snowflake comment. You have to get some backbone, man up a bit and stop this incessant crying.

Yes, I read the memes here and that's the main reason I stay away more than participate. This is one ugly place.

95% of these memes do not represent America, the America I know or even the America from 30yrs ago. They are hate filled, nasty, racist and just plain ignorant.

Just because 95% of the meme's look like something YOU can agree with, doesn't mean you've got your finger on the pulse of a nation. It just means you hang out in a place filled with a small minority of like minded individuals.

Wow, I had thought we had come to a place of mutual understanding. Not agreement, sure, but something outside of rancor.

I'm just saying that all racism should be abhorred, even towards whites, which you seem to feel should bear some generational guilt.

You do you and I'll do me. Peace.

Where is my rancor?

Of course all racism should be abhorred. It's just not my focus because we have much bigger issues.

Refering to me as crying when I'm making a valid point.

Saying you should ignore a problem because there's a bigger one isn't an argument.

You are fixated on an issue that physically and financially harms you in no way. You are currently living in a white majority nation that is primarily controlled by white men. It makes no difference in your daily life that an extremely small percentage of people have, "animus" towards you. That makes you overly sensitive to criticism on that issue.

That's pretty black and white, as far as I can see.

I cannot help it if the loony left is ignorant.
