White is the New Black
There was a shameful period in post-Civil-War America -- that war undertaken to rid us of a heinous national moral outrage, slavery -- in which the freed slaves were treated incredibly poorly. Denied opportunities, facing racism throughout the land, these African-Americans suffered indignity after indignity. They were denied access to good schools, or, sometimes, any education at all. They were passed over for all but the most menial jobs. The legal system was especially harsh to them. Welfare and other forms of government aid were shoved at them, in the effort to buy their votes and keep the largest percentage of them dependent and unmotivated to achieve. They were not permitted access to public facilities.
This began to be remedied in the 1960s, most notably with the Civil Rights act of 1964. As time passed, racism was more and more discouraged. Groups like the Ku Klux Klan began to diminish in influence and importance. Those who were trained by their parents to be racists since birth began to pass on. Things began to brighten for people of color. More and more opportunities became available. More and more wealth began to be accumulated by those who were motivated to pursue it.
But now, we find ourselves in a time when the very victims of this degrading and unacceptable racial treatment seem to be embracing racism directed at Caucasians. The American left has continuously pushed the idea -- in both government and institutions of learning -- that the very act of BEING white is a sinful thing, and something which must be punished.
I ask you: Does this not fit the very definition of racism? A white person is judged to be of negative character and worthy of poor treatment, because of their race?
Witness the many acts of the American left that is intended to chastise and punish whites for the color of their skin:
I shall close by paraphrasing the immortal words of the Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King:
Not wrong enough to ban it world wide though! While slavery has been outlawed in the US for over 150 years, Democrats and leftist are obsessed with the past only in the US and tolerate slavery in other parts of the world.
Their obsession with racism it has become a mental illness.

This is simply false, and it enables all sorts of justification for racism against whites in America.
I agree, systemic or institutional racism (or ethnicism or whatever) can be applied by whoever controls government and other institutions, whether this group or groups are in the majority or minority.
In our current situation, leftists teamed up with BLM ideology, perv promoting groups and Islamists and have created racist/ethnicist standards (while accusing others of same) and "one religion is good/all others are bad" animosity against whites, men, normals, and anyone not atheist or Moslem.
LOL YOU'RE great Laz. Thanks for the ping.
Okay Las, please put me on you ping list sir.

Since he misunderstands the reason for that, it's hard to care what else he has to say.
Respectfully, I disagree. That he happened to be mistaken about one point does not undermine his others.
He added some interesting points to the discussion. I also got a chance, by phone, to clarify one if his misapprehensions: That I was speaking of whites as an underclass at this moment. I was not. I was, however, warning of the ripples of undercurrent that may make that a reality in my lifetime.
Perfect! Thank you, Laz.
Actually, being a Rat Tard could be a congenital form of mental illness, and I will continue to call out, ridicule and humiliate these people.
Of course, they are not. But in the circles of power, media, academia, and government to various degrees, conservatives are becoming an underclass, And "white privilege" is really a euphemism for conservative principles. Hell, to some even spelling and speaking well is a "white thing".
Unum-mas?
I am neither black nor white, not mixed race. Both sets of grandparents immigrated legally from Mexico around 1910. I am a dark-skinned Hispanic, darker than most mulatto blacks.
I was taught from a very young age that all Republicans are country club white racists. I don’t know why my parents and extended family taught me that, they knew the white racists in the south were all Democrats. When I turned 18 my mom made sure that I registered to vote as a Democrat.
I stayed a registered Democrat for about 20 years. I left the party because the party leaders (including the Clintons) and the platform became too sickening and repugnant to me.
I’ve been a registered Republican since the early 90’s, I have never met a single Republican who ever behaved in a racist way. Never.
“Never meet a Republican Racist...
Our core beliefs are centered on
the divinity and dignity of All Men.
I love you and wish to marry you.
Unless you are a guy.
You are the 372nd Satisfied Customer!
LMAO, I am a horrifying cisgender female, and even worse, Mr RooRoo is an evil cisgender white male.
I love you as part of my Freeper family that makes me laugh so hard that I literally start wheezing! God bless and have a great day.
The Republican party is a party of ideas, not a party of false victims and skin color. The Rat party is the exact opposite, they totally disgust me.
That’s a perfect example of why Hispanics aren’t a bloc in the sense that blacks are (voting 95%+ for Dems); there is much more variety in that group than the media would like to let on (they tried to fabricate a group). Your experience is similar to many Irish-Americans, with prior generations voting straight Democrat until the past few decades (as an anti-Christian message took over the party).
The Democrat policies regarding certain minorities are the most demeaning, racist policies possible, treating them as mentally deficient by way of genetics.
