I'm not shocked by the fact that more young white men are turning to nationalism (which is ok), and more extremist stuff like Nazism (definitely not ok).

I think most of this is simply a reaction to the anti-white dogma that is being put forth by the left.
How does the left expect white people to react when they're constantly ridiculed for supposedly having a special privilege, or having their historical statues removed, or being discriminated against by affirmative action policies which sometimes favor less qualified minorities?

It seems like a lot of people are incapable of connecting dots or seeing cause & effect.
I'm not sure if you are open to learning anything new but if you are, here is a good article that explains that which confuses you. https://www.tolerance.org/profession...hite-privilege

First, "a little racist"? Really?

But to your question: No, of course not. My SO, close friends, and most of my coworkers are white - all wonderful people. My favorite authors, artists and actors are white. You can't hate a race while inviting their people and culture into your heart.

Don't know why you'd equate a recognition of some historical flaws or privilege as hate. I recognize the Japanese have been horrendously cruel in periods of history; I do not hate the Japanese people. I recognize the wealthy have a privileged life in the US; I certainly do not hate the wealthy. I recognize Nazis were monsters, who may have had families and loved ones like us all; I have no hate at all for the German people, and not for their descendents.

And, lastly, I appreciate the sincere concern some white people like you may have about feeling alienated in your own country. But... I hope you recognize minorities feel that too, and that's why groups like BLM came to be.

I am starting to think the left wants a race war. It is getting really odd .. they take the side of those who march with destruction on their mind battering Trump supporters , hating cops, calling everyone names, telling white people they should be guilty if they are white. And many are white people.. this is how sick it is...

I still can't believe the left.. they are trying every hate and division path they can find to destroy us all.

I read the first paragraph and already noticed major errors, lol.
Nice try.

There are racial differences in intelligence according to scientific research. People can choose to accept that or deny it, but facts are facts.

I'm actually quite ok with differences amongst varying groups of people, whereas the left seems to hate differences because they want everyone to be "equal". They're obsessed with equality.

I also happen to love diversity, but I also understand that for diversity to exist we must have separate borders, separate cultures, and separate races or ethnic groups that can focus on building their specific cultures.

The left's version of diversity will end up in conformity and mediocrity.

It doesn't mean that I don't work hard. It doesn't mean that I didn't work hard to get to where I am. It doesn't mean that I don't deserve what I've worked for in this life. But it is reality - I have advantages as a white male. I just do. These things have been studied - these realities exist. I will always have implicit advantages that some people don't have. I'm lucky.



People can deny these realities all they want. I know it makes some people uncomfortable to discuss these topics. I think it's a good thing that we're finally discussing these issues.


I don't think there is a (legitimate) movement on the left that "hates" white people. You don't honestly believe that, do you? Really?
List your privileges because I can't list one.

It was a white supremacist among a group of white supremacists carrying Nazi flags that killed a woman and injured twenty others including five in critical condition - led by David Duke, who said they were fulfilling Trump's promise.

Who?

Oh that's right..last year's forgotten loser.

FYI: When you call them deplorable and boast you will kill their jobs as she did, you hate them. She reaped what she sewed. Her lifelong dream crushed.
