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.

Oh, STFU you victimhood-loving gobscheit.
This is the US of A and anyone - anyone! -can make it here. Maybe if black families were real families... You're an AA father? You are the exception. In the inner cities there are no fathers, and the eighteen year-old black males prey on the 14 and 15 year old girls, perpetuating the cycle of children having children. How about addressing the real issue rather than stewing about nonexistent white supremacists?
As the father of a white twenty something I want to ask black fathers, why they abandon their sons to the streets? Why do your sons disrespect your women and have no appreciation for life. Why do you allow your sons to deal drugs to other children?
I’m sorry those people were shot in Buffalo but frankly it has nothing to do with me.
Okay, he’s not stupid. He’s an educated dishonest ratbag, then.
His LinkedIn profile has him being a “visiting professor in Cultural Justice at University College London Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose” and a former member of the Obama campaign team.
This POS has led a far more privileged life than most white people. His entire existence revolves around trying to make white people feel guily.
Like Ilhan Omar? Like Ayanna Presley? Like Louis Farrakhan? Take good look at who is peddling such theories. And take a look at who is assaulting Asians and whites across the country. It's not white supremacists.
Morgan Freemen (one of my favs) said something like “If everyone would just stop talking about racism, it would go away”.
What power is Tucker Carlson trying to grab?!
The truth shall set you free!
So can now grieving white family members ask “Why” to a senseless killing by a non white.
After all, it always race, race, & race with CNN.
Oh, he worked for Deval Patrick. That explains his position. And he’s on the faculty of two UK institutions but his specialties are American rights?! Seems odd ...
What a racist steaming pile of s^^t!
He’s a plant.
“No one will try to rob you of your right to vote. “
Just emphasizing his spot on the IQ Bell Curve.

“ 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.”
This is called learned helplessness .
People learn to be victims .
They totally ignore the TRILLIONS of dollars given to black people since the 60’s.
They have an advantage in college admissions, getting hired, and on and on.
This kind of victimhood is truly nauseating .
Where is the barf alert? Does he know that 60% of all college students are women? Does he know that graduate school programs are overwhelmingly filled with women? Has he ever heard of AA? If we are such a racist country, why do almost all famous biracial people identify as black? Does he not know that there has been a war on white boys and Men in this country going on for 40+ years and it’s bearing fruit with addiction rates, suicides and young white guys checking out of society in ever increasing numbers? How about the differential between whites killed by blacks vs blacks killed by whites the numbers are staggering, only overshadowed by the numbers of blacks killed by other blacks. Dies he know that 60% of all violent crime is committed by 6% of the population, young black men between 18-35. Does it bother him as much that more black Men are in orison than college?
Clean up your own house first then if all those horrible things you think are true seem to still be, we’ll talk.
