Simply put, it's White Guilt. Or "White/Western Guilt," as I sometimes say. The protesters believe that America and Western civilization.is inherently tilted toward Whites--i.e., the founding demographic--and so is "racist." "Racism" is defined by them not as an attitude or an ideology, but as a system--THE system. They hold that the tilt toward Whites makes our system unfavorable by nature toward others. So, no matter who any given individual feels, if their words or actions support "the system"--e.g., they stand for the Anthem--they are being "racist." They are upholding the system. Hence, to be "anti-racist" in fullness requires opposing our system--the country, etc. This is why you will sometimes see, "Anti-racist is anti-White" in memes. In a very real sense, it's true.
It's not about individual opportunity or achievement. Too often
conservative-types let their tendency toward individualism--which itself
is to a degree pushed on them by PC White Guilt (only Whites are denied
a collective identity)--cause them to give responses that don't really
address what the other side is saying. This fellow in the video hits on
it, but because PC and White Guilt make it difficult to follow through
on any collective view of the issue.
And therein lies the
difficulty in combating what these BLM-type insurgents are doing. They
think collectively, and it gives them strength. Opponents think
individually, and are scared to counter BLM with a collective response.
When I point this out to White conservatives, they desperately try to
shift and find a way to counter BLM without doing that. That's how
powerful PC is, and that's how deep--if perhaps subconscious--White
Guilt is with many of them.
So the question is, have Occidental
(Western) peoples--Anglo-Europeans--fallen so far that they can't
recover. Trump can only do so much. It's up to our people.
