Stupid White Men Will Be The Death Of Us

I know that it is currently fashionable in some parts of this great land o' ours (including the White House) to blame everything on "them".

And, of course, by "them" I mean black and brown people.

They're taking away "our" jobs and gaming the system and ruining things for "real" Americans.

And, of course, by "real" I mean white Americans.

I don't expect the people who believe this racist bullshit to ever change their minds. Hell, many of them are still fighting the Civil War.

So they wave their Confederate traitor's flags, scream their foolish heads off, and attempt to intimidate those of us who see them for what they really are.

They are enabled by one of our two major political parties. Guess which one.

Naturally, the truth is something very different.

See, black and brown people (and women of all ethnicities) have so little real power in this great land o' ours that they can't be blamed for anything.

You lost your job? Chances are it was a white man who fired you.

Entire industries moved overseas? All of those Fortune 500 companies aren't run by people of color.

Health insurance and prescriptions costs too much? Congress is 90% white males. Blame them.

No social safety net? Like I said, Congress is 90% white males. You voted for them. Shut up.

Poisoned air and water? The people who pay Congress to undo regulations are not black and brown.

Moron in the White House, rattling his flaccid saber and nodding and winking at neo-Nazis, white supremacists and the KKK?

Repeat after me,

Stupid white men will be the death of us--if we let them.

PS next time you are unfortunate enough to encounter one of these verminous creatures, ask them this: since they believe that black and brown people have all the advantages in our society, if they could, would they like to be black or brown? That should shut them up.
