    There's more historical precedence of seizing property from a demonized minority in the United States.

    Maybe that's what you meant by nipping it in the bud by rejecting Trump's rhetoric against Mexicans and Muslims.

    Tell you what, why don't we deal with actual extant minorities that are actually getting screwed here and now on a day to day basis. Once we get that dealt with, we can dedicate resources to worrying about you potentially becoming a minority and possibly getting screwed at some point in the distant future.

    You know, triage, and all that.

    This is just more what-aboutism.

    Lol. You're like a 2 year old that just learned low to say "no". Everything is "whataboutism" with you over the last couple of weeks.

    It's like there has been a hurricane and your neighbor's house was blown down, while your roof leaked and your suede jaclet was ruined. You are demanding that we devote all of our attention to you and the horrible tragedy of your destroyed jaclet, while your neighbor is living on the street. If you want to call that whataboutism, fine. I personally would call it getting a grip on reality.

    The mirror neurons in your brain are broken or something. You cant imagine being someone else.

    Train for the Olympic mental-gymnastics all you want, but your what-aboutisms do not negate what I am saying.

    As far as I can tell, no major-party presidential candidate attacked people for “brown privilege” or “black privilege” or any other kind of privilege other than “white privilege”.

    The problem with your analogy is that there are no other homes hit by the hurricane.

    Broken neurons? At least I have neurons.

    Well, the current white people did nothing to earn their wealth either, your point? Were you against Jewish people getting their land back or Native Americans getting reservations?

    Also, no, it can't happen in here in America, don't worry.

    White privilege is certainly when equality feels like oppression. Not much to nip in the bud here, racism for white people in America is hurt feelings. Racism for everyone else is ruined lives.

    Just going to drop this here: the non-war-time expulsion of people based solely on race.

    I'm sure this was totally "justified".

    Continuing on the discussion of ill-conceived golden ages in Africa: Asians and Whites were discriminated against in post-British Kenya. People should be wary of when political parties and strongmen attempt to define some mythical golden-age which can only be retrieved through race-based policies of confiscation and expulsion.

    Of course Trump is now repeating the Alt Right "Bring Back Apartheid" talking point, which he picks up from Fox News who picks it up from the Internets.

    These are the same people who supported the Apartheid regime back in the days. So no surprise.

    Awesome timing.... Why would Trump want to shift the narrative at this time....

    What’s been going on with Trump lately for him to want to distract people....?

    The South African government is effectively a Richard Spencer/Alt-Right government.....but you have people on the left in America supporting their actions based on the color of their skin. It's actually pretty crazy.

    Boy it is odd to me that the people crying genocide have said nothing, 0, zilch, nada, about the Rohingya. An actual genocide.

    But we know why, some people are really pushing this just because of the race of the 'victims'. If they cared about an actual genocide then their focus would be on the Rohingya, but those people are brown, not white, so it goes completely ignored in their circles. Surprise, surprise.
