    It’s not hard to not get called racist. Just don’t be racist. And if you accidentally say something offensive, apologize. No biggy.

    Are white folks giving their children "the talk" on the expected day a menacing authority figure accuses them of racism?

    The most entitled folks on the planet seem to be white males. Basically you have these weak, do nothing white males cling onto conservatism because it props them up. Listening to my east texas family talk all the back in the day sh*t, you realize there's a wide swath of white males that only have nostalgia or cling to something their granddaddy did or some historical figure. This is why religious extremism is rising.... because it elevates some and pushes others down.

    as an Asian American living in Calif, i find that suburban white females are also entitled, so "Karen"-esque,

    they, in particular those w kids or grand kids trying to get into college, have been the most vociferous complainers aginst of the over-representation of Asian Americans on UC / CSU campuses.
    They act as if it is their inalienable right to send their kids to UC; and the Asians students stand in the way of that inalienable right.

    I'm not saying others aren't entitled.

    From my perspective, males (poor to rich) are more entitled than females (poor to rich) and then you add race into the mix. I come from a very old school, Catholic family (not talking immediate) and I watched as religion and tradition reinforced the roles. It didn't escape my notice things were more lax, fun, and forgiving as a male.

    I don't think woke white people are racist. I'm sure you aren't racist. I don't use ""woke" as an insult

    Should white people be a protected class?

    How sad is it for white people man? They are victims of oppression even with all the median wealth per household they have accumulated.

    Isn't Aryan grievances a core tenant of Nazism?

    Why are you offended when people say you have fascist tendencies?

    I lived at Cambridge Oaks, which was (is?) a gated apartment complex for UH students.

    A bit, yes, I can't remember the context (it was a long time ago), but I did talk to a few TSU students, and I expressed interest in visiting TSU. They seemed to have some reservations against non-black people, but that seemed to go away a bit when they realized that I was a foreign exchange student. I also spoke to some foreign exchange student from Russia or somewhere in Eastern Europe who was at TSU, and he claimed there was something like "reverse racism", that some people were treating him worse at TSU because he wasn't black.

    I didn't really walk around on Scott Street, though.

    My mom used to teach at TSU and I remember visiting the campus as a kid. My never felt threatened there or unwelcome. In fact she like her colleagues and felt her Dean, an older black man, was a real mentor to her.

    Mussolini the same guy who became disillusioned by socialist movements to the point he changed his entire economic philosophy to "an inherent wealth divide is required to exist for a stable functioning society"?
    That Mussolini that is considered the first fascist leader? He exemplifies the hierarchy addiction of fascists and exemplifies how you know nothing about fascism yet embody its core ethos.
