I am a white male and have no clue what you're talking about, honestly. I have never felt blamed for anything. Talk to people who are dissimilar to yourself, understand other people's situations, and just have some compassion overall. You'll quickly start to understand why other people are frustrated, and you'll gain respect of people who are very unlike yourself.
You say you have no clue what the OP is talking about, then at the end you encourage him to talk to others "dissimilar" to himself so as to "understand why they are frustrated."

So which is it? Is the OP mistaken, or is there a reason for said "frustration" out there that validates his concern?

I think your comprehension is failing a bit here, intentionally or otherwise.

I read that as "I have no idea what you're talking about" regarding feeling blame - based on the sentence that directly precedes it.

Recognizing frustration doesn't require any assumption of guilt or blame.

Aside from the defacto genocide of whites and racial hatred being sanctioned today by MSM and political figures, yeah, everything is hunky dory.


Here are the facts: America was 85% white in 1965; America is 60% white today.


Ted Kennedy said the 85% racial makeup would "not be upset". We were lied to, and now we have all the Ivies (that were all founded by Protestant white men) now only made up of about 10% white Protestants. These schools produce our leaders. Politically, socially, it is now okay to openly spew racial hatred about whites. It is absolutely evil and sick.

My comprehension is fine, your post however contains contradictory sentiments. Don't hate because you were found out!

I am a regular on this forum. Places like here, Twitter, and CNN are all blaming white men for everything wrong in society.

Elsewhere, as a white man, my life is pretty normal. I work, spend time with my kids and the wifey and I try to have fun when I'm not earning a living. Nobody blames me for anything, I don't get yelled at when I'm out and about, and I certainly get along with my neighbors most of whom are black or mixed couples.

Whenever I feel that the world is out to get me, I turn off the news. Then it's back to normalcy for me and I realize that what the media world is trying to cram down our throats is just not the reality of my life.

Are you for real? That "single video" was made by the founders of BLM. So, yes, it's a Marxist group. Did you even listen to the video and read the link?

So, if you support BLM, you are supporting a Marxist group. Period.

All those people you claim to have talked to, are unaware of that fact. They are being played by BLM and convinced to carry their water. IOW, they are being duped.

Well if they limit it to white men who are Democratic politicians or journalists, they might have a decent point!

Sure - I've been called Trumper, deplorable, welfare queen and a Marxist by some of our black posters here. The last two really made me laugh because nothing is further from the truth.

Also they like to name call bigot, xenophobe, racist, nazi, Stormfonter, White supremacist. privileged and fragile..I think I got most of the other commonly used labels.
