    aren’t you afraid of how you’ll be treated if minorities become the majority?

    Many (mostly white) people are convinced that others will seek “racial” vengeance.

    It’s all throughout the myths regarding what they thought would happen if we freed the slaves, to what they thought would happen if we allowed black people equal footing under the law, to what they thought would happen if a black man was elected to the presidency.

    It’s really one thing the entire time: the false insistence that “race” is some kind of determining factor in a person’s soul or essence, and the loathsome postulate that at some point there will be a “race” war in which their “race” will reign supreme.

    It’s in the Nazi myths; it’s in the KKK myths; it’s in the Turner diaries; it’s in the neo-Nazi myths; it’s in the Manson family myths; it’s in the Ruby Ridge myths; it’s in the Waco myths; it’s in the Timothy McVey myths; it’s in the myths of the racially motivated mass shootings in South Carolina and New York; it’s in the MAGA myths.

    To say the idea is pervasive is almost an understatement.

    These people continually try to incite a “race” war through their actions and insist that if another “race” was in charge they would do the same thing.

    Really, they’re just massive pieces of shit racists and they haven’t realized that most people aren’t such losers that they consider their “race” to be worth killing or dying over.
