Why the alt-right rises: Lefties claim racism is "prejudice + power", so trashing whites isn't racist, since whites have the power. Lefties thus blithely trash whites, and in so doing they trash all the whites who have no power, but can still feel discriminated against - and vote

The alt-right is thus the left's Frankenstein's monster, born of its inability to see that races are not monolithic, and whiteness itself is a powerless abstract. Holding all whites guilty for the crimes of a few damns the undeserving as hard as the deserving, making them revolt.

The reason I'm pointing this out is an op-ed in today's NYT. Within the same paragraphs that it expresses shock at the alt-right's rise, it continues to demonize whites. The cycle will continue till the left realizes that racism can hurt whites, too. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/14/opinion/sunday/milo-yiannopoulos-white-nationalism.html?smid=tw-nytopinion&smtyp=cur …

The fact that white feelings are more important than black lives isn't the cause of racism. It /is/ the racism.

Odd of you to criticize the media narrative and then fixate on rebutting it. How about loan access? Salaries? Sentencing lengths?

I see you're deflecting, and straw-manning. I never claimed racism doesn't exist. I was simply addressing your query about black lives.

My claim was that it exists, and that it is of an absurdly larger magnitude of importance than white feelings.

What you fail to understand is that white feelings *determine* racism toward blacks. So it's not less important, not at all.
