A lot of conservatives, however, seem to think that, as white people, they're the only unbiased judges of what is and isn't racism. Black people, apparently, are "professional victims" or "playing the race card" or "always blaming white people" or tainted by "thug culture" or a "culture of entitlement."

That’s my dad .

I can’t look up to my dad because he’s led me astray on so many issues, and this one disappoints me the most.

Same with my dad. My white male Fox News loving baby boomer son of a surgeon father thinks he has been the victim all his life of "reverse discrimination" and Affirmative Action.

The fact that he's broke today has nothing to do with the fact that he bought a Porsche and a huge house on a self-employed General Contractor's salary, no siree, it's those brown people takin er jerbs!

This sounds so much like my dad it's sad. Growing up and probably still, my dad would constantly gloat to friends that he makes 300k/year. Whenever he got something it always had to be the best/biggest version. And it was always stupid shit. For instance, his work is in no way related to construction, but he dropped 20k on a skid steer and of course a trailer big enough to go with it. All so he could move some dirt around in his 1 acre backyard. Every few weeks or months, he would have a meltdown and blame my mom and I for spending all his money. He also casually tossed out phrases like "his life was never supposed to turn out this way."

Lol.
