Well, they had to pick a race, and the white race is the only one left to place in a negative light, the only race that can be bashed, that actually deserves to be bashed, without fear of accusations of racism.

Everyone needs to realize while we may not be a marxist nation (yet), our government, at its highest levels, is (neo) Marxist. Its the same destructive principles, only the enemy of economic "oppression" has been joined by oppression by race, gender, ethnicity, religion, etc..
Therefore, whites, males and christians are the highest enemy our Fed.gov has.
