In reply to the discussion: Elite White Men as The Problem [View all]sheshe2

I may be misunderstanding you here.
you said.
Funny how its perfectly A-ok to demonize an entire race of people, as long as they're white If someone started talking about blacks or jews being "the problem", well imagine the hellstorm that would be generated.
I have no clue how to start here in response. I don't find it "funny" that white people are feeling so demonized. An entire race feels demonized. Wow they are clueless if that is how they feel. Deaf Dumb and Blind is what they are if they feel that way....and the majority does not.
Talk about what would happen if blacks, and entire race of people were demoralized and demonized... they were brought here on slave ships. Bought sold treated worse than animals. They were beaten, Raped. Sold. Families split apart. Lynched. Segregated. They were beaten for trying to gain their rights. They are being shot today unarmed by police. Hands up Don't Shoot. They are taken to jail and for some reason end up dead. They are called thugs and deserve all that happens to them. Please tell me again how white people are so demoralized, demonized and dying in the streets.
Jews. One word. Holocaust. You remember this correct? An entire race that they attempted to erase. Men women and children beaten starved and sent to the ovens to die. Mass murder. Extinction and here you telling me white people in America know the pain and suffering. Obviously you and others do not seem to understand. You are tone deaf.
Here you are talking about hell storms for poor pitiful trump supporters when they show no outrage for our very unpleasant history.

Many white men see themselves as elite simply by virtue of biology and pigment.
