75 Percent of Republicans Say White Americans Are Discriminated Against

The victimization of white America put forth by conservatives and right-wing media has taken hold, according to the results in a new poll from Hill-HarrisX. A whopping 75 percent of registered Republican voters said that white Americans face discrimination.

A majority of Independents, 55 percent, sided with Republicans and said white Americans are discriminated against. Meanwhile, only 38 percent Democrats agreed, and sixty-two percent of Democrats said that white Americans face little or no discrimination at all.

However, the poll did find some agreement among the different political spectrums. Seventy-eight percent of Republicans, 82 percent of Independents and 95 percent of Democrats said that African-Americans are discriminated against. And, in total, 81 percent of the registered voters polled said Hispanics also face discrimination.

Interestingly, only 19 percent of white respondents said they personally faced racial discrimination, proving the point that the fear tactics of Fox News and other conservative media who sell the myth of “reverse racism” are working.

Remember the White woman's who took pills to become Black and live as a Black womans for a year? It opened her eyes, though she was already racially sensitive, she had no idea how bad it was for a Black woman.

To discriminate you must have the power to do so. Only those who control the government, control the media, control the money, control the message, control the schools, control the military have the means, the methods, and the might to discriminate. Discrimantion is an overt act, not a philosophy or bias or feeling, or thought. It's an action that can and is enforced by law, societal mores, and majority agreement.

Whites are NOT executed on the spot by police, they CAN walk (or drive) safely after sundown, they don’t have their families separated, or have 911 calls made about their very presence.

But they DO like to complain about all the political correctness that forces them to substitute “black, or “African American” for their go-to, “n*****.”

Cry me a river, peckerwoods.

openly use the n-word, or other lovely sobriquets for Jews, Hispanics, Muslims, Gays, Asians, etc. The rich ones would prefer to openly bar all of the above from their gated communities and country clubs, while the blue collar ones don't want non-whites taking "their" jobs.
