      In 2011 too. That’s pre-BLM. I can’t think of anything out of the ordinary where white people were getting called out or felt under threat. I think this is just good old fashion, “Momma says” racism.

        During the Obama administration, some honkies felt every day was oppression. The FEMA camp conspiracies were off the chain.

        Yet…here we are. Who made the camps now?

        I think in those days white nationalists were obsessed with Jews controlling them and changing their weather

          It turns out that if they were just overt about it the white nationalists would suddenly not have cared.

        Liberated from education? We could call them liberated retards, or libtards for short.

    • The percentage of the global population made up by white people has declined from 40% to 7% in like 50years. According to the definition of genocide by the UN that qualifies.

      DEI policy has provided opportunity, employment, benefits etc to all minorities across the western world. That by definition requires the reallocation of those thing. Now who loses out in this situation (cos someone is losing out) turns out to be predominantly straight white men.

      You can argue all u want that that they shouldn’t have had it in the first place but do you expect them to lie down and take it like good little bitches as u take their opportunity and future away from them?

      I think people forget that it only takes a few young men (3.5% of the population) to for them to become the monopoly on violence and take power by force through suppression of everyone else. People do not turn the fascism cos they hate liberty they turn to fascism cos action by peaceful means has failed them.

        🤣🤣🤣

        The world has never been 40% white. The world is not currently 7% white. Is this what PragerU is telling you? 🙄

        • 1900 Wikipedia (citing historical demographers) states areas populated by European-descent people were 36% of world pop (~594M of 1.65B).

          Today (2025, world ~8.2B) No UN global race data exists. Estimates for European-ancestry population: 800M–1.3B (10–16%), with ~8–12% common in stricter counts excluding mixes/immigrants.

          I exaggerated a bit but the math checks out

            Back in 1900, it wasn’t just European-descent that lived in Europe either. We were as multicultural back then as we are now. Travel has existed for a long time.

            So what if other parts of the world had a bigger population growth? This isn’t a competition.

            There is only one race you should care about: the HUMAN race.

            Everything thing else are variations that aren’t relevant.

            Your math doesn’t check out. It is just racist-baiting and full of backwards thinking.

            • Back in 1900, it wasn’t just European-descent that lived in Europe either. We were as multicultural back then as we are now. Travel has existed for a long time.

              Yeah and not all people have 10 fingers. A good indicator that someone is either a moron or trying to intentionally mislead is when they use a small minority to try disprove a generalisation.

              So what if other parts of the world had a bigger population growth? This isn’t a competition.

              So you admit my numbers do hold validity?

              There is only one race you should care about: the HUMAN race.

              Yeah and I want all member of that race to be treated equally ie no free shit for your identity.

              Your math doesn’t check out. It is just racist-baiting and full of backwards thinking.

              The beautiful part of math is that u can objectively prove things vague claims it doesn’t check out without evidence is bullshit.

            If you’re getting the short end of the stick, you should be mad at the billionaires who are stealing from you.

            But I’m sure you voted for Republicans because they successfully pointed your anger at black and Hispanic people instead.

                • Sure thing.

                  Dei: Their is a set quantity (with minor variations) of jobs, opportunities, wealth, etc. Those resources should be offered to the person most qualified ie egalitarianism. Dei by definition fails at doing this it reallocates resources from those who are most qualified to other people based on their identity (race, religion, sexuality etc) dei requires and thus enforces racism, sexism, homophobia etc, etc.

                  Immigration: Economics 101 outlines the laws of supply demand. Immigration increases the supply of labour and increases the demand on goods and services. Thus the value of labour drops and the value of goods and services increases. The end result of this is lower wages and higher cost of living. This is exactly what u want if you are part of the bourgeois ownership class and the opposite to what everyone else wants.

                  We have statistics to prove that immigrants commit higher levels of crime and cost more in terms of welfare.

                  That’s not to say I dislike all immigration as we can very easily tell from the statistics that certain classes of immigrants actually commit less crime and contribute more to economic prosperity.

                    If you study economics deeper than 101 you learn that supply-and-demand is mostly a fantasy in the modern age and the problem is oligarchal control and lack of regulations.

                    But both of your issues boil down to the same point: there are more people than there are useful jobs. The solution is not more jobs or fewer people, it’s decoupling productivity from food and housing. Anything else is admitting that a permanent underclass of jobless, homeless people must exist as an implicit threat against the working class if they get too uppity.

                    Also, immigrants commit less crime on average and get less in government benefits than citizens. Your “statistics” (that you did not even cite) are made up right-wing xenophobic propaganda.

            Lol no you’re not getting the short end of the stick. Yes, DEI shouldn’t be a thing in an ideal world, but we don’t live in an ideal world and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.

            • Lol no you’re not getting the short end of the stick.

              I had more I now have less because what I used to have is being reallocated to other people who are less skilled/capable than myself.

              Yes, DEI shouldn’t be a thing in an ideal world

              Glad we agree

              but we don’t live in an ideal world

              So ur idea to fight systemaric bias is to introduce more systematic bias? That’s like saying the best way to defeat the systematic bias by the Nazis is to become a fascist regime and send all German citizens to concentration camps. That’s fucking insane.

              and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.

              I’m not privileged cos I’m white I’m privileged cos my parents are well off and they got me highly educated, are involved in my life, care about me, love me, and I was born in Australia. None of that has anything to do with the colour of my skin. Unless ur implying that nonwhite people are poor, uneducated, and have unloving parents because of the colour of their skin. That’s racist as fuck bro.

              No problem addressed by dei is caused by identity. I have no problem with socialised services for those who got unlucky. I have a problem with that being allocated based upon identity.

              I think the libertarian way of thinking of liberty applies very effectively here: you should have the liberty to do whatever u want on the condition it does not reduce the net total liberty of society. Giving poor people food, water, housing, education, etc (essentially general necessities to produce productive members of society) does not reduce total net liberty it increases it. Taking an opportunity away from me and giving it to someone else based on the colour of their skin does not increase liberty. The number of opportunities remain the same, it causes less qualified people to have positions despite more qualified alternatives being willing and available. It also has a byproduct of enforcing racist/sexist/homophobic grouping and thinking.

        Why don’t you just pick yourself up by your bootstraps and not expect us to fix your sorry life for you?

        Isn’t that the usual conservative view?

        The percentage of the global population made up by white people has declined from 40% to 7% in like 50years.

        Well yeah if you just gonna make quotes up I guess anything is true.
