I doubt you're correct.  He is talking about race, but it's you folks on the left that are the racists.

The left is loaded with racists. As long as you aren't white, you can say all the racist comments you want because BLUES don't seem to care about what the minorities are saying to us. I wonder if they care about what racist browns say about the blacks and what the racist blacks say about the browns.

Racism is real, but making everything about racism is stupid.  The same applies to gender, gender identity, nativism and heritage.  They're all the same overblown appeal to ones side in the conflict ... which is where this is headed unless calmer, saner minds prevail.

"Real" and "pervasive" are two different things. Some white person may hate what a black person did for reasons absolutely nothing to do with race, such as discourteous driving. Explanations of strange phenomena that suggest ethnic insensitivity must be brushed off if there are innocent explanations. Rachel Dolezal got into trouble because she assumed that everything was about race. People with more experience with blackness know  otherwise. Blatant, unambiguous expressions of animus must get stern responses depending to the extent of the level of provocation. Use the infamous n-word in a hostile context in an educational setting in which I am the teacher, and you will get an unpleasant trip to the principal's office. I didn't believe my ears when I heard it, but someone complained and I believed what I heard.

Quote:At least the cries of racism and sexism had a root in reality.  It's hard to argue that whites and Christians have been oppressed in a country they have ruled since its inception.  That this is changing now is no reason to act like the oppressed.  The truly oppressed are those of us NOT in the top 1%, which should be the basis for common cause across racial, gender and any other lines you might choose.  That the 1% have so successfully managed to keep the fires burning just makes them stronger.

Adolf Hitler told German gentiles that Jews were exploiters and oppressors, and that he would be the agent of rectifying that 'wrong'. We obviously cannot accept every claim of mistreatment by some elite as both real and characteristic of all members of that elite. We must all be wary of 'bum raps', many of them the result of bigotry meeting hurt feelings.

Economic distress of course is a reality in America. How well this Crisis goes will reflect to no small part how we deal with such distress.
