On all the many days I helped stand at the boundaries of Planned Parenthood Clinics when they were being hit with fanatic protesters, the faces sneering at us were ALL white and mostly male. And those people had more fear than hate in their eyes.

There is a chunk of the population that liked the bad ol days when it was a white man's world where women and people of color kept their place. There is a chunk of the population that think somehow that equality for all lessened them particularly.

There is an element of racism to the whole thing. Same as in Hitler's day.
