People are sick to death of mainstream American culture being denigrated over and over. No, America is not evil, in fact it's the greatest gift the world has ever seen.

Wonderful post.

Spot On.

I abhor Identity Politics.

Being American is a wonderful identity which is mocked when another word precedes it with a hyphen.

This is the silliest supposition I've seen in a while. Every Democratic president we've ever had except one has been white. Every Democratic nominee except one has been white. Every Democratic Vice President or VP nominee has been white. I'm white. I live in a very liberal city in a liberal state that is very white. The idea that whites are somehow persecuted or that Democrats oppose whites (I oppose myself?!) is completely ridiculous.

This whole meme is being driven by the Republican party in an attempt to somehow stoke the anger that started because Republicans were outraged that the country elected Barack Obama. On day two of his inaugural, they started the "Democrats are racist against whites!" lie. And that's what it is - a lie promoted by Trump and his supporters. Trump was the guy obsessed with Obama's birth certificate because he was certain Obama couldn't be American, he had to be Kenyan.

So do you think all white people are morally inferior or just all the white people who don't think like you?

I take it personally because the left disparages one particular race only that I'm a member of and then claims to be anti-racist. The left is attacking me personally.

You’re not going to straw-man your way out of this; your logic is flawed and baseless.

Where, prey-do-tell, are you getting this narrative?

Attacking one’s morality hardly signifies an attack on one’s entire race.

It's the democrat's constant narrative. It's like you're trying to deny the sun rises in the east haha.

You’re the only one parroting this narrative.

Being "persecuted" (vs just being used as a convenient scapegoat) are two entirely different things.

Just as is "education" vs. indoctrination.

But you leftist don't limit to attacking someone's morality, you attack the morality of whites and blame them for everything.

Trump supporters are obsessed with white victimhood. It's embarrassing.
