It's not every day that one is confronted with an alternative viewpoint that gets right in your face.
I guess you got to decide for you if that has happened today.
Double standards shouldn't go both ways.
We got laws that apply to everybody, except those with political connections?
Well, I hope these boys give 'em hell, somebody needs to.

Trump’s white identity politics
In ‘activating’ white group consciousness Trump is remaking the Republican party

On August 21, 2015, the conservative writer Ben Domenech wrote an analysis of the Republican presidential primary headlined: ‘Are Republicans for Freedom or White Identity Politics?’
Even at this early date, Domenech saw in the rise of Donald Trump the very real prospect that Trump could reduce the party to the “narrow interests of identity politics for white people.”
Three years later, and after Trump’s improbable victory in the presidential election, Domenech’s fear appears vindicated.
Most will remember the President’s reaction, back in August 2017, to a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in which participants attacked counter-protestors and killed one.
Rather than condemning the white nationalists he appeared to apportion blame equally: “hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides”.
The President created more controversy later that year when he retweeted a British far-right group that was circulating misleading videos purporting to show Muslims engaging in acts of violence.
And in August 2018, Trump endorsed a longstanding but false claim pushed by white supremacists that black South Africans were killing white South Africans and taking their farms.
The white male is the only creature that is allowed to be slandered, made fun of, discarded, discredited...
"You can't be racist, if you are against whites"
"men are bad" hashtag kill all men
And so, just calling this out makes you a "white supremacist"
White people are 1/3 of the population.
hurray! White people are a minority now.
With all the privileges afforded to minorities.
Lol, as if,...
Except TRUMP did not ACTIVATE the white group consciousness. We all KNOW what really activated it. Trump is just riding that wave.
White people are 1/3 of the population.
it is delicate, I think that in a certain way the balance is leaning more to one side in its politics leaving the Republicans themselves a little thoughtful
Rule by force is the disease, who and how are symptoms.
Until the bullies stop running things, this is what we get.
