So, it's tough being discriminated against; is that what I'm hearing? But I'm White, so how would I know, right? Well, I'm a Trump supporter, so I know a LOT about discrimination. I've been called a racist, a White supremacist and a homophobe more times than I can count. If I commit the unpardonable crime of wearing a MAGA hat, I stand to become a national pariah, as happened to Nick Sandman. Maxine Waters (a famous black bigot) viciously encourages the harassment of Republicans in restaurants, very much along the same lines as the KKK harassed black people in restaurants in the past.
My ancestors didn't own slaves, my ancestors FREED slaves. But you won't get positive feedback from Glenn, in that regard. He appears to have the same blind spot as progressives; he can see slave owners, but he can't see abolitionists. To the extent that abolitionists are acknowledged at all, they are treated as some nearly insignificant splinter of the White "race". In fact, the abolitionists movement was powerful and motivated, long before the thirteen colonies became the USA. Slavery was THE divisive issue from the very beginning. States were formed, or not formed, based on the issue of slavery.
We can think that we are the enlightened ones. Yet we treat every White abolitionist and abolitionist descendent as if they are the "Invisible Man". Yes, I'm referencing Ralph Ellison. Think about it for a moment, and then admit that those White people of our past who fought and died to make slaves free, are persona non grata in the pity party now known as racial equity.
My great great grandfather took a bullet thru his hand at Bull Run, and lost the use of it for the rest of his life. He was relatively lucky. My wife's great great grandfather was killed at Antietam. These heroes put it on the line to free the salves. And today I have to listen to them referred to as racists and oppressors. So, next time you're feeling a little oppressed, think about being a Trump supporter and being called every name in the book, accused of every crime in the book, and having your ancestors denigrated by intellectual but ignorant snobs.
