The former president recently gave a radio interview on how REP have used victimization of White men to get votes. As he says that Republicans have wrongly created a narrative where white men see themselves as "victims" who are "under attack", according to Barack Obama.
and this
The former president said this belief was pervasive among many Republican voters despite the fact that it "obviously doesn't jive with both history and data and economics."
After being out of office for four years, it seems the former President has not been seeing what has been ongoing in the country. The cancel culture of the left is doing exactly that. It is attacking white America. It is
deeming white Males in the country.
I did not see one solitary monument to a Black American….a Hispanic American...a Asian American stature being torn down by the left this summer. As the rath of the left was pointed solely at White American male figures.
I did not see one group of Black American….Hispanic American….Asian American being accosted in restaurants and outdoor dinners by the ANTIFA and BLM this summer. But I saw White American males and their families being accosted by both ANTIFA and BLM.
The former President must have some blinders on. But that is what identity politics will get for you.
We all are individuals. A white man is just likely to be a real victim of crime or even racial hatred in this country as a black or hispanic or asian is. Yet for some reason the former President ignores this simple truth.
Have whites males been subject to racial hatred?
Here are a few quotes from female Asian naturalized American, a reporter at the New York Times. She, to be unnamed, is a graduate of the University of California Berkeley and Harvard Law School, said this.
“The world could get by just fine with zero white people.”
It’s “kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”
“Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically only being fit to live underground like groveling bilious goblins?”
Later she would say..."it was all said in a time of stress....I really did not mean it"
So why is a not White Male given the same out when they say something defacing a minority? They might going thru a time of stress and not really mean it either. But the accountability of DEM party demands that white American male be held to slightly different standard.
I need not go far back in countries history to come with terms like “whitey”... ”honkey”....”greaser”. They were all used to describe and degrade white males.
Often by minorities of this country.
So the former President is way out in left field on this one. Nor does he site his data and economic studies that support that white males are not subject to victimization as a race and income. It is easy to make a claim that is unsubstantiated when you are a former President. Everyone wants to believe you.
But you go to the Appalachian hill country of this country. You don’t see white American living in multi million dollar homes. You come down to rural Florida, you don’t see white Americans living in even $500K homes. I live in rural Florida and I don’t live in such a house. Yet all around me, minority families all do live in upscale homes of such value.
Like Black, Hispanic, and Asian poverty, white American poverty is blended into the fabric and localized areas of the country.
So there is both racial hatred for white males and there are economic imbalances within the country that impoverishes white people.
End of part one.
