    Why is this a problem is everyone in the US is said to "be equal"?

    Well gee when your government EXPLICITLY discriminates against you, like they’re doing with whites, you tend to be less optimistic of the future? No way!!! Stop the presses! Lol

    Stop using the government to discriminate against whites under the guise of equality would do it.

    That’s called racial anxiety, the idea that you aren’t going to do as well compares to your racial peers. Also a sign of deep seated problems with race.

    No it’s called facts. The government discriminates against whites under the guise of equality.

    Or as you folks like to term your racism “positive discrimination”.

    Yeah but why be concerned with it? Of all the things in the world, why post that the government is “EXPLICITLY discriminating” against white people? If I asked you could you name your local town board members and their legislative plans right now without looking them up, I doubt you could do it. Despite local being more important than national politics. So why be concerned about what the “government” is doing?

    In what way? Is it possible that its in your nature to see yourself as a victim?

    I am white, but not once in my life have I felt that I have been discriminated against.

    Our government through the SBA program 8a provides grants, loans and government contracts to minority businesses that white business owners either can’t access or are forced to jump through hoops that NO other race has to jump through to access those funds based on nothing more than their ethnicity.

    Our government provides grants and loans to minority farmers that white farmers can’t get access to because of the color of their skin.

    Our government provides tax credits to businesses who hire minority contractors but not for hiring a white contractor. So the white contractor has to work for longer and for less money in order to achieve the same level of success as his black competitor.

    Our government provides tax incentives to entities who invest in minority owned businesses but not for investing in white owned businesses. Making it nearly impossible for a white business owner to compete against his black competitor for the same investment funding.

    These are just a FEW of the federal ones. I haven’t even gotten into the DOZENS of state and local level government policies and programs that benefit minorities at the exclusion of whites. Such as NY setting aside $1.3B in taxpayer funding for minority businesses that white business owners can’t access. And there are these types of programs in literally EVERY SINGLE STATE.

    FFS bro they’ve created an ENTIRE vernacular to allow them to discriminate against whites. They use terms like socially, culturally and economically disadvantaged when what they ACTUALLY mean is non-white. They use the terms “minority” and “majority” when what they ACTUALLY mean is non-white and white respectively. And they do this because it’s acceptable to advocate for policy that benefits the minority at the exclusion of the majority but it’s EXCESSIVELY racist to advocate for policy that benefits non-whites at the exclusion of whites... but they are the EXACT same thing.

    Because that’s how genocides start. And as Winston Churchill stated so magnificently:

    If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

    Are you thinking that this will cause a genocide? How exactly does this work?

    Oh, I see. You are not getting the hand-outs you feel you are entitled to and you take it as discrimination. Got it.

    When I needed a loan, I just walked into a bank and got one. No hoops.

    The difference between us is that you feel like a victim because you are not getting government hand-outs, while I am just glad I don't need them.

    Look at all genocides in history. They don’t simply start by one group waking up one day and going “**** I hate Jews we need to kill them all.”

    It starts through the dehumanization process. You take the group whom you don’t like and you blame ALL of the country’s problems on that group. You attempt to remove the individuality from the people within the group whom you hate and label them all under one label. This allows you to treat all of the people you identify as that label as one entity. Like the left has done with white privilege and the Germans did essentially the same with Jews.

    Once you successfully do so, you can then start setting LEGAL PRECEDENCE for your discrimination against said group. You don’t start big. You don’t shut them off from schools and deny them medical care and take away their rights immediately. You start small and you start making the argument that the country’s resources are better used on groups who do NOT fall under that label.

    Once you have set the precedent that it’s legally acceptable to discriminate against that group in smaller things. You can then start to attack that group in more important areas of society such as education, the ability work and the dissolving of rights as well as their ability to protect themselves or have state resources used to protect them.

    Which then creates the potential to devolve eventually into full fledged genocide.

    No read my last post. I don’t need handouts. But setting the precedent that it’s legally acceptable to discriminate against one group is dangerous.

    The president is responsible for everything which happens during his watch. He was warned about fuel prices and the effect on the economy. He could have taken actions to mitigate it. In spite of that he chose to ignore it. A number of people close to Biden want high fuel prices because it will speed up the transition to solar. They got their high prices. It should make you proud.

    In addition with that kind of attitude from his administration, it changes people's behavior. They put their investments elsewhere and people who might have otherwise chosen to find employment in the energy fields, go elsewhere.

    I will repeat. The president is responsible for what happens. That is the way it is and that is the way it will always be.

    When Russia invades the Ukraine, that will be Biden's war and he will be responsible for what happens, good or bad.

    You realize that "democrats" is not a race or an ethnic group, and most of them are just as white as you are, so you are not making any sense whatsoever.

    You use that as an example to portray yourself as a victim, and now you compare yourself to Jews at Nazi concentration camps.

    You think the victim card is the winning card? It hardly ever is. People are more likely to feel pity for you than anything else.

    We already have been. They’ve already moved onto part two and started setting legal precedents.

    They did so by labeling every single white person as privileged and, by proxy, racist.

    It’s racial anxiety. The fear that because racial minorities are catching up to you, that you are falling behind.

    I didn’t say democrats I said the left. But that’s irrelevant. The whites on the left have bought into the idea that the whites are to blame and (I think more importantly) believe that by going after whites, it’s helping to attack the Republican Party whom they dislike and are mostly white.

    Furthermore these same white liberals believe that as long as they show their fealty to their black peers, that their black peers will view them as allies and treat them better than they’re treating the white conservatives. They’re going to be in for a rude awakening just like the idiot Jews in nazi Germany who supported the National Socialist Party’s rise into power.

    Of course. You’re a great example. You’ve insinuated that I’m privileged because I’m white. Even though you know nothing about me except I have white skin.
