Since the Las Vegas shooting I am noticing a disturbing trend where people in the liberal media and elsewhere are collectively demonising a group of people based on the colour of their skin. This group is 'white men'.

I'm not sure what the whiteness of a persons' skin has to do with their character. Dr Martin Luther King would be appalled.  If anyone referred to any other group in a negative light i.e 'black women', or 'brown people' they would probably end up being fired (or worse).

I see these groups saying that if this was an Islamic terror attack, all Muslims would be demonised. This is a false equivalence. Islam is not a race, it's a set of (really bad) ideas. ISIS read and refer to the same texts as moderate muslims. Bad ideas can be criticised. Most importantly though, Muslims can be any colour. Just as communists, Christians and fascists can be.

I can't believe the liberal media don't see the double standard, and dangerous people like Jared Taylor are just waiting for enough people to fall for the identity politics to build a political platform based on 'race realism'. He claims he is not a white supremacist. But read his work, he considers black people akin to a different species.

We can't let this happen. We saw the results of this over 70 years ago. Wake up.

I don't think in regards to any issues that grouping everyone up as though they're a singular being because of one reason or the other was the ever the right answer, it feels counter intuitive to how everyone should be trying to unite together against racism and stereotypes and only really promotes further generalizations. (ie. comments such all [insert anything here] are [insert anything here]". It already sadly happens with many middle eastern people due to the amount of terrorist attacks that have happened over the past few years, and it's a really sad thing to see. The disgusting actions of a few shouldn't be treated as those for everyone or as if everyone feels the same way, and in regards to white people specifically there are obviously tons of things white people will never have the experience of having to go through but I also don't think making it a situation where it's okay to generalize one compared to others because of that will be beneficial in the long run.

Edit: I've edited this comment to more accurately portray what I intended to say at the time, as the original was very poorly worded and did not properly convey what I meant.

There are people in this day and age that think that it's 'impossible to be racist towards a white person' and that saying racist remarks and grouping them all up is fine to do apparently because 'reverse racism' is impossible. (They call it reverse racism, even though racism towards anyone is just racism.) Just shows how crazy people have become lately, just like people who claim that there is 'white priviledge', when that doesn't exist either.

I've seen it a lot on sites such as Neogaf (which shouldn't surprise anyone), where a lot of posters can literally write stuff like 'fucking white people' and say shit like 'all white people are racist' blah blah blah and basically group them all up like that and not get banned but if it were for example said about black people or another race they would immediately be banned. 

I thought reversed racism, ment when you say something race related thats possitive.

Like "them black dudes got big c**ks", or "asians are smart" ect.

And yeah theres plenty of racism towards whites too.



The bbc in the uk kept pointing out that he was a white man, as if we didn't know that when they showed a picture of him. The bbc is basically an SJW feminist corporation.

However, Muslims are treated like a race nowadays, and for even many Muslims themselves, it's more of an identity. Many people that call themselves Muslims aren't even practising the religion, but call themselves that because of their family background, or something to that effect.



White, black, yellow, polka-dot... doesn't fucking matter. Crazy is crazy.



They're all a bunch of hypocrites. The ridiculous aspect of this is that these people don't seem to realize that the people that were mercilessly mowed down in Vegas were probably 95% white.. But you'll never hear that part.

And let's be clear, there is racism on the right too, which I of course reject - but as of late it's been a lot more frequent on the left being racsists against whites, and far more socially acceptable too (though in a subtle roundabout sort of way I view this "victimization" of many minorities these guys obsess over as a kind of bigotry too, as it's a sort of "soft bigotry of low expectations," which was one of the very few intelligent things I ever heard George W. Bush speak). I hear the shitting on white rhetoric from even my close family and friends on nearly a daily basis, or at least see it on twitter or TV. I used to get angry about it but now I just sort of sit back and laugh at what hypocrites they are. Let them wallow in their own hatred and realize THEY'RE the ones with the problem, not you. I've realized over the years many of these people's cries of "RASCIST!" is usually just projection. It's like when those super conservative priests or congressmen yell about the evils of homosexuality and lo and behold many end up having a history of fucking young boys.

I try to just remind myself that at the end of the day, what's it really matter? I'm still lucky enough to grow up in a middle class familiy in probably the most privledged and prosperous country in the world, in an era where we live like kings compared to people merely 100 years ago. I've never once in my life been confronted (at least in real life) or "called out" in some way merely for being a white man, let alone discriminated against or "oppressed" in any apparent way. Life is still pretty decent from where I sit, and many many people in the world have it far far worse. And besides, we're all individuals - which is by far the most important characteristic of humanity, not skin color which nobody has any control over whatsoever anyway - so people shouldn't make things personal based on race, myself included.

Some within the Muslim community want to be considered a race. That way the islamists can divide the world into a race of muslims and unbelievers. If I can do anything to continue to remind people that Islam is just a set of ideas, I will.

It's not just those withing the Muslim community. There are racists that do the same, associating Arabs with Islam.
