I feel like I’ve come off like an extremist lately, and I want to clarify:

My issue is that we in america are sold a false narrative on race. This narrative reflects the reality 20 years ago. Not today.

It’s also based on simplistic thinking.

For example: If you go to a
Country club, its likely every person there will be white.

And I mean really white. Like, I look ethnic compared to those bitches.

But just because everyone at a country club is white, does not mean every white person belongs to a country club.

Most of white America
Has seen its real income drop in the past 20 years. It’s becoming more of a FORMER middle class. Not an actual one.

Meanwhile, to go back to the country club example, the NFL may be largely black. But no one would assume that just because someone is black, they play for the NFL
You see how ridiculous this is?

Further, there is this assumption that the Country Club whites are somehow interested in the struggles of the formerly middle class whites.

They are NOT.

Most country club whites are only a little rich. They are scared of losing what they have
And are cutting ties to the sinking middle class as fast as they can.

We act like the country looks the same as it did in Caddy Shack, with rich white people being served by poor black and brown people.

And you know what—in places in the 80s, this was 100% accurate.
I’m sure it’s accurate in SOME places today, too.

But where I live, the tourists get more Asian every year. And they are largely served by well-spoken white people.

Back in Seattle, where I used to live, the “native” population from the days of Nirvana was lower middle class
And pale.

Nowadays, those people cannot afford to eat or go out to the fancy bars and restaurants built for the tech workers—who are overwhelming South and East Asian.

Is Bill Gates white?Yes.

But entire upscale suburbs of Seattle are now Asian.

Baristas are white.
My fear—and you can call me paranoid if you like—is that poor and formerly middle class whites in America are going to become an openly-despised underclass.

That has already happened. Hence the “deplorables” comment.

You can see this every time a news reporter shows something
Is “bad” because “white people” like it.

(By white people, here, he means the bad white people. Aka POOR ones. Rich ones, of course, get a pass because they are woke.)

This open hatred rubs me the wrong way.

It is wrong.

And yeah, there may be more black people in the
Underclass. Perhaps more Latinos, too.

But those members of the underclass are not openly despised by media, politicians, university professors, etc.

If a rich NFL player donates time and money to a struggling black community, he is a hero.

If a rich, white person does
The same he is a...?

Nazi?

White nationalist?

You are not allowed to feel sympathy for “those people.” They are supposed to bear the guilt of history, while affluent whites cunningly blend into the globalist melting pot.
All I’m saying is, I don’t like feeling pressured to hate people. And I don’t think it’s acceptable to hate people just for their skin color.

Does this make me a white nationalist?

I dont know. Maybe?

All I know is I check my moral compass regularly. When someone acts like
I should throw a bunch of people under the bus to make myself look better... the hair on the back of my neck stands up.

So anyway, that’s my take

I had to rewrite it, as twitter deleted my first thread.

Broke-ass white ppl in America are being expected to act as scapegoats.
And that’s not okay.

Every controversial thing I say about race stems from this place.

Namely, that “white america” is not the enemy.

They arent even the country-club-tennis-playing richies we think they are.

They are just people. Stuck in the flow of history.
Like everyone else.
Also—I have been to the east coast. In the NYC area I have indeed been to coffee shops where everyone working there was black and every customer was white.

But... east coasters have to STOP being so short sighted as to think THE WHOLE WORLD looks like the upper east side!!!!
