Some key points:
1. America has a long history of competition between Whites and Blacks over political power
2. many people start to RESENT other races for “taking” their livelihood, especially when they are “forced” to share their access to jobs or power (such as Integration or Diversity)
3. to “return power” to themselves, very small but violent White Supremacist groups like the KKK have fought Diversity and killed several hundred people
4. most White Racists today are rarely the inbred “Hicks” that we imagine; nowadays, most are relatively “Educated” and Middle class
5. most White Racists today are not from the rural, White South; most are from *Diverse,* Urban areas like California
6. building on the above, most White Racists have spent much of their lives *exposed to Diversity*
7. most White racists today do NOT simply “learn” hatred from racist Parents; their parents are often very Progressive
8. instead, they develop their beliefs through bad life experiences that they blame on an entire minority group, like being robbed, losing a job, or trauma
9. they feel like our culture has become so obsessed with an inclusive, “POST-White” America that it has now alienated Whites
10. today, White Racists rarely target BLACKS: their main enemy today is WHITE Liberals (“Traitors”), Gays, Jews, and Hispanics
11. most White Supremacists hate Trump, usually calling him a “tool of the Jews;” if they like Trump, they usually view him as the “best option for a White Man”
