It’s a wild thing to watch the Vice President of the United States post content suggesting that white men are being discriminated against. That mentality has existed in America since Reconstruction, after slavery ended. The idea has always been: they deserve everything, and everyone else should have nothing—because it’s all “owed” to them in a fairytale version of America. A country that became the richest on Earth off the free labor of enslaved people, including the ancestors of Southerners like me. Black unemployment is rising under Trump and Vance. America is less affordable for everybody—including white men, the majority of whom voted for Trump. Black people are under attack in this country. The propaganda is designed to keep those attacks going by convincing white men to blame Black people instead of the billionaires who are actually robbing us all—laughing all the way to the bank. America isn’t harder for white men because of Black people. It’s harder because, like generations before you, you bought into the “white is right” lie. You chose the white guy again—and now he’s cashing the checks while telling you to call a hotline.
