I really don't understand why white people felt like they were under attack. Some said it was that their privilege was being questioned. Well, it should. In this world, we need to either treat everyone equally because no one is better than the other or we must submit to merit based systems of compensation (which is the opposite of privilege). For example, people seemed hostile to the idea of equal pay. I don't. I agree that there are some jobs that men are physically more able to do in general, but if a woman does that job, pay her. Like, why not? Do you feel like your privilege to get more pay that a woman supersedes general fairness? There is something so insidious about our politics that seeks to conquer by division and you would think that by now we would be on to it.
I'm a White male that lives in the US that did not vote for Trump nor do I care for the guy.  I do however believe in some of his policies.  The biggest problem that the election really brought to life is all the hate that some people in this country harbour.  I find that most of that hate comes from people living in small rural areas that have lived their entire life in a "bubble".  For some reason, they believe that everyone that isn't White (and even some that are) are out to get them.  It really is sad and I can’t imagine living my life that way.  I've gone to school with, worked with, vacationed with and lived next to people of all races.  You know what, most of them are just like most of us.  They have hopes and dreams and they're hard working people trying to make a better life for them and their families.  My suggestion is that people that live in these “bubbles” should reach out and try to get to know others better.  You might just like what you find.


Stop hating and start playing.
