Here's the thing: there's a strong strain of anti-whiteness on the left, and there has been for years. That threatens some and drives them into the arms of the "alt-right".
Talking about "systematic oppression", what about affirmative action? That's the only systematic oppression I see.
The left started a racial coalition politics that excludes whites. As long as this continues, I'll vote against them every time, even if that means voting for Trump. Mutually assured destruction.
I abhor racism and racial identitarianism and I challenge it everywhere I see it on the right. You must do the same, and this includes all identity politics.
Stop celebrating people for their genetic makeup. No more black or women pride stuff, because it all reinforces our differences. And it's such a pathetic source of identity, it shouldn't be enabled.
When I was growing up, the prevailing attitude was to move toward color-blindness. Now it's the opposite. That's the problem.
Agreed and I strongly suspect the people of Charlottesville would agree too. As I've stated already, this city is very diverse. We do not look at people as separate for any reason. Everyone should be equal under the law, and the law should be fair without double standards or special protections for some over others. All the people coming in from out of town to protest are giving the city a bad reputation.
