If you're willing, I'd love to hear how White men in America have been demoted to 5th class citizen.

I appreciate your taking the time to explain, Rick. The thing is, I've been white my whole life, and I haven't noticed any of the suffocating oppression you speak of. I also didn't see any sources to go with your claims. I do know that White people have the vast majority of land, wealth, governmental seats, and executive positions in America. That won't be changing anytime soon, clearly... I confess, your complaints (which I doubt are factual) sound kinda whiny, especially in light of the fact that this administration is tearing families apart and grabbing people who were here legally.

"My people" are working Americans of all races. I believe it's rich vs. poor, and white Americans are slowing everyone down because we haven't dealt with our racist bullshit. By the way, it's hard to understand why I'd be proud of my whiteness when you have made white men, at large, sound like the most pathetic little crybabies in your messages. You're so mf threatened by a show that features (gasp!) people who look differently than you, so utterly terrified of (shock!) soft white men, that you believe your ass is under psychological warfare? There's literally a whole show for guns run by OAN. If whiteness can't survive by simply being treated equally, GOOD RIDDANCE, in my opinion. Mixed babies are adorable.

I hope America gets MORE diverse, and I hope white men make peace with the fact that their skin color does not make them special. All people are created equal.
