White, male property owners put themselves at the top of the hierarchy where they made the rules that kept them at the top. And they had a good run at it, too. But now uppity women, people of color, and gays are demanding equality, and worse, equity in the system, and the white Christian patriarchy is pissed off! Their position is being threatened. They believe that they are the real Americans, not the rest of us. And the ones they're really pissed at are liberal whites, for betraying the race and supporting equality for everyone.

There is a big segment on the right who literally wants to kill those of us who oppose them. I'm pretty sure I have a few in my extended family.
