Elie Mystal: Conservative white folks turn violent when they don't politically get their way

[867-5309.]

...ELIE MYSTAL: Let’s start here. Okay, let’s start with the problem with the fourth estate. The American media. Listen to that clip again. Right? That, Hugh Hewitt made himself sound like Billy Bush in that clip, right? [Doofy Voice] “What kind of problems, Mr. President?” Like, he’s threatening to unleash domestic terrorism on the country if he is held accountable for crime. And you, a media person, is sitting there saying [Doofy Voice] “what kind of problems might we have?” What is that? What is that? At some point, the fourth estate is going to have to realize its complicity in allowing these white domestic terror terrorists to organize and attain some level of legitimacy as they threaten our democracy. So I want to table that because that’s a huge part of the problem. The cause of the problem, of course, is Trump himself and his MAGA acolytes themselves and the people who are willing to do the violence in Trump’s name. Again, I’m not, I guess I want to say that I’m not surprised that he’s threatening this because A. He’s literally done it before. And B. This is literally what conservative white folks do when they don’t get their way. They turn violent. As a Black man in this country, as a person who was always aware of the Black history in the new world, white people turn violent when they don’t politically get their way all the damn time in this country. It’s what they do. And so from the perspective of a Black person, I’m kind of like, welcome to the world that I’ve been living in America. Because now what we have is white domestic terrorists threatening to turn violence against unarmed Black people, against everybody else. If the white supremacist ideal ideology doesn’t win the day and the white supremacist king is held accountable for crime...

4. Worldwide, apply it to every color of the melanin rainbow

but her point is well taken for here in the US.

To hell with all those aggrieved, victimhood obsessed dimwits in fancy suburbs.

Now the ones in rural and semi rural areas do have something to complain about, but they've all been led around by the noses for years to complain about stuff that just isn't true, and to blame themselves for the stuff that is true.

5. Amen!

I'm about as white as it's possible to get without being albino.
No Black or Brown or Asian person has ever harmed me.
White guys in suits, though...
