It honestly doesn't matter how many times you assure a person suffering from white anxiety that they are not being held personally responsible for slavery. Not the pc left, not the social justice movement. That's simply not what either thing is about - it's not even on the periphery of what either thing is about. The only responsibility anyone has today lies in the continuation of that disenfranchisement and exploitation through apathy, antipathy, or the normalization of those views through the use of whitewashing language and positions.
Right leaning opposition to either notion has successfully framed the narrative in this way, for decades. That, somehow, political correctness and social justice discriminates against whites, threatens their fundamental rights, stigmitizes them and denies them their pride..ultimately resulting in a loss of self esteem - chiefly by causing them to worry that their own "individual merits" are being discounted.
Full throated white supremacists, and a well represented ally contingent in government goes one further - white elimination. They..will not replace us! The browns threaten our very way way of life! They're stealing our j-yobs! They're seducing our women! They're creating a cesspool of crime in our inner cities! They're dragging down our economy! They're murdering our white women! Permanent separation from their families!
The solution, obvs, is to build the wall and lock em up and revert to our traditional social arrangements, because all lives matter - and don't forget to vote against those leftist extremists y'all! It's all fuckin silly, lol..but it has gone mainstream, and it has worked it's way into the disaffected left.
I mentioned this pages ago..it's actually a brilliant tactic despite being so superficially stupid - because it's the one thing that the left is categorically incapable of dealing with without opening themselves to charges of hypocrisy (so wonderfully displayed in this thread).
