I am a middle-aged African American father, reeling from the sheer horror of what happened to members of my community in Buffalo. Through my pain, I am praying for all the victims and their traumatized families, friends and neighbors -- and for all the minority Americans who are feeling even more afraid now than they did before.

Because you are male, you were born a winner of the patriarchal jackpot. You are more likely to rise to the top of the career ladder and will be better paid on your way up. The state will not attempt to dictate what you can and cannot do with your own body. On top of that, because you are White, and you live in a country that is structurally racist, you enjoy the huge privilege your skin color gives you.

No one will try to rob you of your right to vote. You don't need to be terrified of law enforcement officers. You will benefit from better education, health care, job opportunities and finances, for example, than your peers who happen to be Black. Although your ancestors also likely moved here from somewhere else at some point in the past, it probably wasn't as shackled slaves. If you have the added bonus of being Christian, heterosexual, cisgender and able-bodied, then you might well never know firsthand how it feels to be stigmatized, marginalized or hated because of some aspect of yourself over which you have absolutely no control. That makes you very lucky indeed.

People who openly peddle crazed, racist and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories such as the Great Replacement Theory -- the likes of Tucker Carlson and Elise Stefanik -- are out to grab power, not to help you.

“”If this theory is so great, why haven’t l heard of it?””
That’s the question. Where did it come from? Boy - it would be so easy to throw this country into even more turmoil than it’s already in by just throwing out some stupid words with no one questioning anything! They’re told it exists and it shouldn’t and they let the idiots take it from there! And we thought we’d heard/seen everything. Guess not!
The worst thing that black rage has done is to create apathy. It is so tiring to hear the same chorus every time they scream that it gets tuned out.
Their grievance is irrelevant and I simply do not care anymore.
The po black guy that spouted this drivel could have used his affirmative action privilege to score a easy gumbmint job and had a juicy pension for life. Maybe even filed an EEO case or 2 along the way with a few extra thou.
Or maybe he did just that? hmmm
Progressive moron.
Blah blah blah. No white folk ever were murdered by a black guy. Am I right?
I got a few questions for some black teens. Could you keep them from assaulting me en masse?
First question: Why do teens (and women of any age but usually an excess of weight, treat Macdonalds as a battleground?
Second question: Why . . . wait, wait, stop beating on my a$$ . . .
No one will try to rob you of your right to vote either.
You don't need to be terrified of law enforcement officers.
Neither do you if you do not break the law.
You will benefit from better education, health care, job opportunities and finances, for example, than your peers who happen to be Black.
Very true, and this is a consequence of a culture that values education and hard work.
Although your ancestors also likely moved here from somewhere else at some point in the past, it probably wasn't as shackled slaves.
Maybe not. But being aggrieved forever because of how your ancestors arrived in America is a guaranteed way to hold yourself down.
If you have the added bonus of being Christian, heterosexual, cisgender and able-bodied, then you might well never know firsthand how it feels to be stigmatized, marginalized or hated because of some aspect of yourself over which you have absolutely no control.
You have no control over being Christian? That is news to me! No control over your sexuality? Sounds like an excuse to run rampant sexually. Who does that?
That makes you very lucky indeed.
Personal responsibility, hard work and education. Have I driven you away with those curse words?
Good response.
If that were true, then why would EVERY half-white celebrity, including a former president, identify as black.
It cra-cra !
What a racist, bigoted POS.
No need to look beyond the source (CNN)
yep
Can we ask him, why can’t black people control their kids? White violent crime is significantly lower than black violent crime so why can’t you black folks get yourselves under control?
Well all I can say is this: Mr. AA Father, if things are soooooo bad here in the USA, then GTFO! None will stop you. Hell, people will help whining racists like you to leave. Please please go back to whatever African shithole country you think you are from. I’m sick and tired of the constant racist rant. Just leave already. Do the rest of us a favor and leave.
I know you won’t because you have it too damn good here sucking on govt teat. FOAD.
Oh...now it's "anti-Semitic" too?? 🤣🤣🤣
I’m so sure CNN will run a op-ed from a White father addressed to Black teens about the Waukesha race massacre.
Do I have to read thru 200 replies to find this article modified with all the ‘white’ references turned to ‘black’ and the consequences thereof?
