I was told to be proud of my heritage. What heritage is that I asked? Do you mean my heritage as a white man? Yes, they said, you're disconnected from your culture. And I'm like, look man, I don't give a flying fck if a non-white majority rules this damn country. Justice and democratic rule is not a skin game to me, you dig? And they looked at me funny like I had a screw loose.
So yeah they're wired different. They're racists
If you're MAGA you're a White Nationalist
It is a mental illness, but try telling a mentally ill person they're ill. You can't. If you do, they'll just open their Donald Sutherland Day of the Triffid mouths and screech that you're the insane person which is what I was told
yes, these people are sick and they are definitely driven by fear. Fear of a non-white majority. So as a white person I have every right to say fck them all and they can go to hell, because this land was made for all of us, especially after we murdered all of the original inhabitants and stole people from other lands to do our labor
That's what they're afraid of, a just society
Man this was beautifully well said. I’m a strong believer that racism can be eliminated but it takes a shift in mindset on the part of white people. I’m genuinely curious how you came to your current line of thinking about race.
I went to grade school at a public school in Manhattan where kids were from everywhere. That's what I saw from an early age, a playground full of all races. That's who I played with. My three best friends at age six were black, puerto rican and white. I only fear what my intuition tells me to watch out for and your skin won't be the trigger, just the way you talk to and look at me.
So being in Florida was a major change of scenery and I learned all about white crackers and what they think and what they say. And it is pretty easy to see most of them were limited in experience and never learned to think independently. Even some of the ones with some education are stuck in mental prisons.
They inherited their views on race and with that inheritance comes a deep seated fear that it could all go sideways someday. Some of them actually do feel black people are vengeful and want them dead. So the history is baked into them. They don't claim to have any remorse for the past of their ancestors, yet they sure seem to still fear the karma of it.
To them affirmative action is akin to legislation hating on the white man and giving the minority person an advantage they don't deserve. So all of these old hatreds flow from two historical timelines, slavery and LBJ era legislation. These white people still carry all of that around inside of them. Some of them know it, some of them don't even know themselves well enough to know it, but they surely do by their words and deeds.
MAGA people are full of fear of a non-white majority. To them America means whiteness. This is mental illness that may not be treatable so you need to maintain a majority until they fade from the scene in a few generations. That's why there can be no letting up. The whole GOP strategy that culminated in Trump was predicated on sabotaging what the census told us, a non-white majority was happening. So they felt they could close the borders and prevent it and maintain white power.
