“For me, not hating is a constant battle which I lose at least once almost every day.”

So true!

But in my lifetime, I have never felt like I was “hated” by my own government, like I did the eight years of obama...That is why I believe that Simpson wasn’t talking to President Trump, he was talking to the obama’s, of course this is one mans opinion.

"But in my lifetime, I have never felt like I was “hated” by my own government, like I did the eight years of Obama . . . "

It goes well beyond Obama. As we saw during the Kavanaugh hearings, and in many other contexts, it is now socially permissible for white people in general, and particularly "old white males," and particularly "old white conservative Christian males," to be mocked and taunted and demonized as a group in major media, on college campuses, and in governmental and corporate seminars.

To cite just one example, a recent issue of National Review quoted a woman who is the CEO of a major educational consulting group which holds considerable sway over public school curricula and testing. She said, "If you are under the impression that there are good white people and bad white people you are wrong . . . [racial biases are universal] and something you cannot be cured from."

That is an extreme and frank statement of the philosophy behind the "white privilege" and "anti-whiteness" movements that are now pervasive on college campuses, corporations, and government. It is even filtering down into the elementary schools.

Now, this kind of hate-talk has also entered the area of gender, in which maleness and heterosexuality are now almost treated as diseases, as something to be fought and despised.
