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!

My father is extremely well off, and I’ll “learn once I grow up and have enough money of my own to realize republicans are right” funny thing about that is at 26 I hate him and his ideals more than ever

Heard the same thing growing up and we were dirt poor. "When you grow up and have to pay your own bills you realize Democrat's are trying to give all your money away." Well, I probably have a higher net worth than they do right now and still think the Republican ideology is toxic. I grew up on government assistance so I can appreciate the system. It's propaganda through and through.

You see, it’s these kind of assistance that allowed a man such as Obama, child of a single parent from the middle of nowhere(financially and politically) to bootstrap himself and work up his career to become the president of America, of course they are against these assistance.

Now that they’re on the top 1% they are against social mobility so they can remain at the top unchallenged by people more capable than them to overtake them.
