Why is everything the White Guys fault...?
I'm not a Democrat and I haven't oppressed anyone.

It's like why does it become the police officer's duty to break up a fight or stop a crime?
That officer didn't do anything wrong, but ends up shot at or in danger because of this duty.
Why do our military have to give up their security, lives, health or family to
save the world from worse oppression?
The wrong is caused by the other forces they are fighting against.
Yet they pay with their lives, why?
How did this become the responsibility of others?
When a country like America has the ability and authority to police right from wrong,
because we have established principles that we use to enforce and compel others to stand down,
then when problems escalate because people DON'T have this power or ability,
the problems become someone else's who CAN step in and do the job right.
That's why the responsibility gets passed around until it lands on someone with ability to take charge.
Society happens to condition us to respond to White Male leaders in a group.
For some reason, whether social or spiritual conditioning, people defer to the men
in the group, or the white leadership, or both.
So when people continue to violate laws of justice, and contribute to oppression and abuse,
because they don't respect authority of law, then it takes someone who DOES respect the law to
step in and stop the abuses going on.
I have constantly pushed my fellow liberal progressives both Greens and Democrats
to take on responsibility and QUIT relying on party, or govt, QUIT relying on Conservative
Republicans or Christians to enforce Constitutional laws, and do this OURSELVES.
But instead, everyone seems to kowtow to "other leaders" to take charge,
and it's usually the white leaders, the wealthy, the male, etc. whom they respect
and trust to lead FOR them, instead of leading themselves as equals.
They don't see themselves as equally empowered, but keep putting others
above them as more powerful and privileged.
The White Men in particular are pegged as the powerful leaders whom
everyone else cowers to.
Don't know if this is spiritual or socially conditioned.
But if you look around, people make figureheads of the Christian and
Constitutional leaders who lay out the laws, and these are usually
the White Men from Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh to Ted Cruz. These are seen as
more influential with greater following and more of a threat, than someone like
Oprah Winfrey or Amy Goodman whom people don't take as serious threats in the media.
People will listen and take a man seriously before they will hear a woman.
As for Black or Latino or Asian people, these tend to be seen as a group or community
"collectively", while Whites tend to focus on the individual. If you look at the media
pattern where "black and missing" people are seen as "random" members of a group,
while "missing white girls" are seen as INDIVIDUALS, this bias has been pointed out,
but nothing took hold until the focus was on Black MEN, from BLM to Kaepernick,
and then people paid attention and took it more seriously.
So it seems to be a combination of those two things:
Men taken more seriously than women.
Whites seen as more powerful and respected as leaders than Black or other minorities.
I don't know how much correlates to the leadership positions
with Christian and Constitutional laws, and which came first:
was it that these laws invoke authority, and that's why America dominates?
And the "white male" leaders follows from these two laws and institutions?
Or the other way around? But that's where the power is, in the authority
of law, and it is most strongly associated with white male leadership
as part of America's traditions and history.
I know, I know...CAUSE GOTDAMIT IT IS!! IF YOU WANT TO BE THE GOTDAMNED MAJORITY, THE HEAD MF IN CHARGE, THAN DAMNIT OWN THE BAD SHIT TOO!!
