I'm not going to apologize for being white or being part of the Western cultural tradition which created this country just as I will not apologize for being gay or having an Asian husband, who btw is becoming a US citizen this month after our 5 year process.
My spouse has adopted to this country, understanding that that equals success and that this country is great. He and we retain his culture at home via food and holidays, but he has assimilated and adopted American norms.
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.

You have to consider that these posters are most likely white supremacists so they take it all personally. They have no understanding that other white people do NOT think like them. Very sad.
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.

Attacking one’s morality hardly signifies an attack on one’s entire race.
Being "persecuted" (vs just being used as a convenient scapegoat) are two entirely different things.
Trump supporters are obsessed with white victimhood. It's embarrassing.
