Because racism against white folks is real, despite how much everyone chants reverse racism isn’t a thing.
I just went through company bias training where it was explicitly stated a white CEO should exclude mentorship to white people because of bias, and a LGBTQ leader should embrace that bias because it supports diversity.
No nuance, no conversations about how to mitigate and identify subtle bias. It’s just don’t mentor white people.
Show me where white people were subjected to red line policies or rejected for loans because they’re white.
THAT LITERALLY NEVER HAPPENS
When white people complain about racism it’s things ppl say to them. When minorities complain about racism it’s because the system is literally abusing them.
These are not the same “racism”.
Grow up. Someone calling u cracker doesn’t make you a race victim…lol
The reality is the civil rights movement is both about increasing the social power of non-white citizens AND decreasing the social power of white citizens.
The former is what usually feels okay for white citizens, but the latter tends to be what white folks call “reverse racism”. It doesn’t feel great losing the social power tied to your caste, but it’s necessary to create an equal opportunity society.
I assumed I’d get a response along the lines of “do your own research” this might have been even better. Don’t bother defending your take, just lash out bc nobody has to actually make sense nowadays–just be loud and obnoxious like the bad orange man
You are getting downvoted, but I have seen a bit of this myself and I understand why people would really start to resent this kind of thing. I grew up dirt poor, but I get a lot of messaging about how I should “check my privilege” from people much further up the economic ladder than I am now and certainly where I came from. I used to shrug off this ignorance based on racism, but it’s become more prevalent and definitely more strident. I’m to shut up entirely and listen to others merely and only because of demographics? No, I’m not having it. That’s about as bigoted as it gets.
I don’t think the answer is to vote for a terrorist like donnie or demons like any Republican politician. I really don’t know what the answer is. I just don’t think that some of the people pushing extremely racist things while supposedly under the banner of equity even have any clue just how many Republicans they are probably creating. When you go around preaching at people, and telling them they are the source of so many problems and they need to just listen at all times to a certain set of self-selected demographics, or else be accused of all kinds of things, people really don’t take it all that well.
Shocking the same policies fucking over various minorities also make life shitty for poor white people. The republicans being created are the ones that bought into the whole as long as we have an underclass for the poor whites to look down on they’ll never look up at who is actually fucking them over because they’ll at least be better off than those other ultra poors.

“White people don’t suffer from my specific thing so they can’t possibly be discriminated against in other ways.” - You, apparently.
Keep on creating fascists 🤷♂️
Reverse racism?
I can’t believe there are idiots still using this word like it means anything other than calling attention to how stupid you are

“Racism is ok but reverse racism whoa nelly hold your horses”.
Sounds more like a company problem if that’s the way they’re choosing to go about it

Can you point me to a few of these examples? So far I’ve only heard anecdotes
I told my story and look at the response. I’m not going on to my work laptop collecting screenshots. We just had a SCOTUS case on racist admissions.

I’ll just “trust you, bro” lol
The guy you’re responding to thinks affirmative action is racist.
Don’t bother he’s a complete nut.
I’m not surprised in the least 🫠
