Yes, white men are being oppressed.

139. You should acknowledge why it's happening, though.

There is an undertone to the OP about various degrees of inequality causing a divide and that if somehow magically we fixed it everything would be OK. That's precisely the authoritarian mindset. It's not that white people are privileged, it's that we just can't all get along! Duh!

The reality of the matter is that white people use their privilege without even knowing it, without even thinking about it, it doesn't even occur to them that they are privileged because some guy got laid off three times.

How the fuck could anyone "get along" if the very people who have the most privilege on the planet don't recognize it and exploit it to their own ends, because, why not? Leftists have realized a long time ago that to solve the problem the rest of society needs a safety net to protect them from the plague that is the parasite of the European descended developed world war mongering person.
