You're right, it did. Once a black man was elected President, the racists and white nationalists were mobilized to action.

Now under Trump, the dogwhistle is gone, and the bullhorn is in use.

I guess he forgot the fact that many parts of American history were also established on the backs of slaves. So, no, it was "White people did all that". It was a parasitic collaboration of sorts.

Demonizing whites because of the past actions of white people is sick. Blacks didn't like it when it was done to them. Don't do the same to whites.



Humans find a way to unperson someone, so it justifies their killing to society.
It has happened for many millenniums

A conflict with reality here. You have to explain Republican support for people like Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Alan Keyes, etc. I'm old enough to remember Republicans going nuts over just the talk of Colin Powell running for president in the 90s.

Under Obama, all opposition was deemed, "racist." It was an easy, lazy tactic straight out of Rules for Radicals.

Problem with reality here: That never happened.

I am white, independent and I was so disappointed when Powell said he would not run. Condie too. I was not stupid enough to vote for Obummer though.

LOL.

Get outta here with that mess. He's a whiner. I mean, he is entitled to his own opinion, but if you step to any group of people, especially minority students whose ancestors likely BUILT THE STUFF HE IS TALKING ABOUT WITH THEIR OWN HANDS.... ???

Expect some blowback.


He's playing you... he wants controversy. Controversy sells books.

Controversy gets you on TV.

He's not stupid, not at all. He's just another Milo, but (presumably) heterosexual.
It's a pity we can't get this same reaction consistently from folks like you with regards to the privileged brats on the other side, as well.

It would be interesting to debate the point he made and you dismiss in your first paragraph, though that would be "off-topic" and thus unacceptable here.
