Those in power positions are the ones who can illicit the real change this country so desperately needs.

Please, please, speak up.

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Ouch. That was hard to read.

I don't argue with the premise that silence implies consent, but I do have a problem with the implication that all white people are silent.

That's pretty much it.

There was a series on one of the networks on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany. As the Russians and Americans were closing in, the narrator read a quote from a German woman which went something like this, "I did not vote for Hitler. My friends did not vote for Hitler, but we will all be punished. I suppose we are all guilty."


I reject the Nazi comparison because unlike Weimar our institutions are strong. It may be less about evil than we have become a nation of under Trump.

Yes, it’s okay to stereotype white people.

It’s been 30 years since I heard the N-word used in a derogatory manner.

Most white people, just like everyone else, are too busy trying to pay the bills to save the world.

A. You are fortunate.

B. There are other ways of being racist, The Word isn't the only one.

C. It doesn't take much time to call it out when you see it.

D. I don't do what I do to avoid being stereotyped, although I admit that does hurt. I do it because it's right.

I'll tell you how I see it as an outsider looking in, and a white man. We're fed up of all the crap shovelled our way blaming us for everything.

We feel we are the ones holding the whole thing up. We pay the vast majority of the taxes, yet nobody listens to us, and allows our countries to be invaded by brown and black people holding out their hands.

We are sick to the back teeth of this invasion, and sometimes even hate coming from the folks demanding we help them.

They don't do anything except try to turn our countries into copies of the ****holes they have left.

This is why we now have a nut case like Donald Trump winning and becoming POTUS. This is why we are seeing more right wing governments in Europe. We are sick of being blamed for the world's ills, when we're just trying to get by, and pay our way.

We are sick of politicians who do nothing but insult us and laugh at our fears of being overrun in our own countries by foreigners, who in many cases despise us, and even kill us in our own land.

Donald Trump is waving the big stick, and saying 'enough.' I can't stand him, but support him all the way on this, and some other issues.

Yes, there are other ways of being a racist.

For example, blaming another race for your race's shortcomings (low test scores, violent crime, government dependency, fatherlessness, etc.)

I've long supported BLM and the like. I quit reading when anyone goes down the Nazi path.

Funny how brown and black people always seek refuge in countries founded by white men.

Don't like white people? Move to a place without any. Those places are doing just great.


We are never going to adopt this bs sociology psychobabble.
