Apparently so. If you try to say white lives matter, you're a "racist." I 
guess only black lives matter these days.

Racism is racism, it doesn't matter if it's anti-white racism by blacks, or 
anti-black racism by whites. There is no such thing as "reverse 
discrimination." It's just discrimination, and it's now mostly anti-white 
(and anti-Asian) discrimination by our (so-called) "own" government.

Actually it's not even black and white anymore. Now it's turning into anti 
U.S. citizen discrimination. Illegal aliens are now taking over homes and 
the U.S. citizen owners get arrested for trying to evict them. This crap has 
got to stop. 

And people wonder why Trump has 28% lead in the polls over Biden on the 
illegal alien issue. And that piece of senile crap in the White House is 
still trying to keep the illegal alien pipeline wide open.
