On behalf of the rest of us, I’d like to know, why are you so determined to be oppressed? It seems clear that this population wants to claim a status of victimhood even when that means distorting history and the present. In one telling statistic, 68 percent of white evangelicals believe that discrimination against white Americans has become as big a problem as discrimination against nonwhites. Republicans, meanwhile, are much less likely than all Americans to say that Asian people (37 percent), Hispanic people (45 percent) or Black people (52 percent) face a lot of discrimination, and more likely to say that white people (57 percent) and Christians (62 percent) do. If the most traumatic thing society has done to you is make you wear a mask or urge you to get a vaccination, yet your victimization radar has you at the extremely persecuted end of the spectrum, you may want to actually read the contents of the "1619 Project" that you’re trying to keep out of your child’s school before you once again play the victim card. While critics claim this project placing slavery in the center of the U.S. narrative rewrites history, it actually gives an in-depth look at what America’s subjugation of Black folks consisted of and the contributions African Americans have made to this country. Even further, you should reflect on the modern-day adversity that your neighbors currently face, like the fact that Black and brown people have been disproportionately impacted by Covid-19.
