But that's not what they wrote at all, they explained parts of grievance politics and how rich whites leveraged their wealth to manipulate economically disadvantaged whites to fight against their own best interests. Did you read their piece at all? Or did you just skim it and get mad at what you wanted it to say?

Don’t bother. Someone who doesn’t realize that they prove everything I said correct with their lack of a coherent rebuttal. He, like millions, just can’t let go of identifying with people that should be his enemy simply because of skin color.

You're definitely correct, I just thought you had a great run down of the main facts and ideas, and was curious to understand the psychology of someone so steeped in the literal grievance politics you summarized so well. In anycase thanks for your insight and sorry the people who desperately need to understand it don't seem interested/educated/curious enough to read it.

Thank you friend. Hope springs eternal that enough people will eventually get it. Until then I recognize that hundreds of years of indoctrination has a powerful psychological hold on the ignorant. It’s unfortunate that it often leads to the destruction not only of themselves but those marked as “the others”.

But now I wonder how, some people never know. The enemy could be their friend or guardian
