Whiteness is a liar. 2017 tried to fool us into thinking that the collection of unmelanated degenerates who gathered on the National Mall to celebrate the goldfish-cracker in chief was the biggest crowd ever. It gave us a straw-haired skeleton queen named Kellyanne Conway to thrust the phrase “alternative facts” into the American lexicon. It gifted us with Sean Spicer’s befuddled fibbing, Anthony Scaramucci’s confidence-man condescension and Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ blatant ************ as they stood in front of the press and lied in our faces. This was the year of “both sides,” “white lives” and “I do not recall.” 2017 lied its ass off. Whiteness is a thief. Police stole 220 black lives in 2017, more than the previously mentioned worst year of lynching. White women tried to rob black women of the credit for an Alabama election. They swiped the #MeToo movement from a black woman. 2017’s whiteness tried to steal health care from those who couldn’t afford it. It stole the blame for violence from white supremacists and mass shooters and placed it at the feet of anti-fascists. And Black Lives Matter. And “black identity extremists.” And Chicago’s top gang thugs. And Mexican immigrants. And Muslims. And everyone but white people. Whiteness is fragile. In 2017, whiteness felt oppressed. It said white people were discriminated against. It carried tiki torches while whining that it will not be replaced. It rallied for the cause in Charlottesville, Va. It cried when it found out it was in trouble. It called everyone else “snowflakes” but melted down when NFL players took a knee. It boo-hooed about white genocide. It reminded its fellow milky martyrs that it was “OK to be white.” But more than any other year, whiteness regressed. This country moonwalked backward instead of toward the light. 2017 put us in reverse, and it wasn’t because Americans wanted to go backward. White people did. They returned to mandatory minimums. They went back to mass incarceration. They took a regressive stance on marijuana. The Ku Klux Klan returned in force. Nazis started walking around proudly. Confederate sympathizers sprang out of nowhere. So did Confederate flags. And swastikas. And hate crimes. And people ranting in Starbucks.

They believe it is their privilege and right to take what they please. But it ain’t 1930 and it ain’t never going to happen.
Well... I guess that's one outlook to avoid. Guy needs to put down his crack pipe and start shooting fentanyl like respectable white folk. I got a laugh out of how he killed his argument right at the start. From the article: "...[List of other white years the author provides]... Despite the trouble and turmoil in all of those years, they pale in comparison to 2017." So, those prior years were paler than the whitest?
Trump is a strange nazi, the kind who is pro israelian. Your hatred of white people is pathetic. You realize that a lot of muslims are white ?
@Cigar Furthermore, you're the one living in 1930. You're the one who is building the hatred of a specific race like the nazis did too jews. You're the one who live with an apartheid in your head. For you people are not good or bad people, criminals or honnests people, no they are white or black or hispanic. You complain that Police "stole" life of 200 people who happened to be black, mixing the innocent one and the criminals. What an insult for the innocent one. Because they're black you put them in the same category than some criminal.
Your words make few sense (I don't speak slang, it's maybe the issue). That's what you claim, your first post is a hymn to hatred of white people and to racism in a general way. You don't consider people as people who have to be considered on their acts but as white people, black people. That's conservative ideology, you realize there is non white people who are conservative ? You realize that healthcare concern not only non white people people ?
