What's the matter?   Do you not know real history?  Probably not if you're a white American.  You've established your identity on a fairy tale.  Making the conversation about me instead of reality is what people do when they can't discuss anything measurable.   It's not intelligent. The exploitation of themselves that white people voted against by voting for Trump is of their own creation.  They just didn't care when it was Native people and black people being slaughtered and brutalized by the millions.  They could continue with how great and "free" America is, along with their meritocracy-equality fantasy drivel.   The truth is that the poor were exploited and crushed in this country for centuries until FDR came up with the New Deal.  It didn't extend to anyone but whites, however.  Since the idiots started voting for actors, those policies have been under attack, but they couldn't see it.  Oh, wah.
