Aha! So THAT’S why people lose their senses and vote for Trump. Deaths. So now, group counseling for the whole state seems in order, you know, to remedy this dire circumstance.

And this is just mind-blowing. From the 1700s through most of the twentieth century whites dominated economically, technologically, culturally and nothing seemed impossible. Then whites were taught to hate themselves and everything almost completely collapsed. I think some awareness of the mistakes of whites was important to allow the economic and political development of minorities. But really the Left took it as a sign of unforgivable weakness and brought out the long knives.
