Title: There's nothing more frightening in America today than an angry White man
Some comments:
I’m a white guy and lemme tell ya….there ain’t a thing to be angry about. I feel zero oppression, I’m not really scared of anything (In an existential/political sense, Piranha fish scare the poop out of me). I’ve never had a negative interaction with the cops, I’ve used the old “college educated white cis guy” network to get jobs, buy a home and take advantage of other opportunities. No one is “coming for me,” I can assure you. There’s no “assault on my freedoms.” People who have wanted their slice of the pie are getting it and I can’t do anything but be happy for them and offer my help and support.
There are people out there who want what I have as easily as I’ve gotten it. They want a little of the hegemony that I’ve enjoyed. That’s fair, it’s human and it’s what’s right. The stage has to be shared because at the end of the day we’re all just people. If you are a white guy and you are angry you are actually just scared and too greedy to share the stage with people who don’t think mayonnaise is too spicy.
