I think that if people would read before they react, they'd see that there are plenty of people who are angry about some things that white people tend to do, but there's just not a whole lot of danger in being white and there IS some danger in being nonwhite. Especially with Trump and his crew in office.
So, maybe white parents should work harder to remind their kids that they are fortunate to be in what is considered the most socially acceptable thing to be for the purposes of damned near everything in US society, instead of stoking their kids' fears at what they might read online.
None of my kids think that they or their parents are hated because of whiteness. Because they have EMPATHY for other people.
I mean, at the end of the day, this sign was unneeded. Better parenting? Definitely needed.
I disagree. STONGLY disagree. All you're doing with that is subliminally telling the kids that they're better than everyone else.
I really don't think that's what it's about for some of these guys. It used to be that this white identity thing used to be much more desired than it is now for the most part now a days it's the uneducated, thick skulled no job guys without skills screaming about "white pride" because they have nothing else going for them.
Not to defend them but the alt right guys like Spencer and his ilk are college educated and don't fit the profile of the skinheads and KKK of the past.
But their ideals are just as wrong as the uneducated ones that came before them.

Exactly. White liberals can be SOOOOOO oblivious to how incredibly patronizing they are. I also think much drive to embrace diversity stems from a patronizing place as well. So often when you speak to white liberals you can see that they believe people and "others" are like pets that they have to protect or they think are just the "cutest little cultures."
In contrast to the "different expectations based on skin color/race/ethnicity/religion"....I expect ALL people to behave the same, and follow the same standards of conduct.
Giving a pass for bad behavior is what you do to people who you feel are not intellectually or morally responsible or equal to you. What is "right" is only a calculation between equals, so if you have different standards for different people, you're demonstrating you actually do not feel equal in status - intellectually - to that person for whatever reason.
Children. The elderly. The mentally handicapped or the less intelligent. Those are the ones we sometimes give bad-behavior passes to.
Fortunately for me, my every thought isn’t held in comparison to people of color. If I feel a microaggression, I’ll point it out without worrying about how the white liberals or people of color feel about me.
Then why did you say you feel that minorities hate white people? Isn't that thinking about skin color and race?
Ethnicity isn't race. You can't escape your race no matter how hard you pretend.
I don't rely on my race as a source of pride or shame I view it as a pseudo taxonomic classification of little importance to me. The difference is you appear to place great value on your "race" and depend on it for a source of pride(perhaps it serves the purpose of some sort of an external validation). I get that from my ethnic group, my family history and my personal accomplishments.
