As I often do on Twitter anymore, I was busy poking fun of Donald Trump last night. One of the top trending hashtags was #5WordTrumpSlogans. I posted approximately ten such hashtags, one of which was, "Offending Everyone Without Any Consequences." To this, I heard from a self-described constitutional conservative, who said, "They only people offended are anti-white #RadicalMarxists like you," later adding, "Anti-white muslim supporters."
That's right, ladies and gentlemen; I've been busted. As a white person myself, I'm apparently anti-white, and therefore anti-self. Yes, it perplexes me as well...
It's ironically hilarious this man describes himself as a constitutional conservative, yet labels me as anti-white and pro-Muslim, for while I don't adhere to any religion myself, I believe everyone has the constitutional right to believe in whatever faith they so choose, including Christians, and yes, Muslims. Apparently, this constitutional conservative believes less in the Constitution than I do, an alleged "radical Marxist."
As for the anti-white label, that's ridiculous on multiple levels. First off, I am about as white as they get. The only way I could get any whiter is if I somehow transformed into Casper the friendly ghost. Secondly, just because I believe people of all faiths, including Muslims, should have the right to believe in what they so choose, doesn't make me anti-white or anti-Christian; it just makes me pro-equality. Just because I'm anti-white privilege doesn't make me anti-white. Just because I believe women should receive equal pay for equal work doesn't make me anti-man. Just because I believe minorities should have equal education opportunities doesn't make me anti-white. Just because I believe Buddhists, Hindus, and people of other religious beliefs should be able to freely practice their faiths in this country doesn't make me anti-Christian. Just because I feel gay and lesbian couples should be allowed to wed doesn't make me anti-traditional marriage. I'm simply pro-equality. Regardless of a person's age, gender, race, creed, or orientation, he or she should be afforded equal rights under the law, and just because I, a straight white agnostic man believes in fighting for all demographics to attain the rights I've been afforded in this country does anything but make me anti-straight, anti-white, anti-religion, or anti-man.
Trump supporter: "You're anti-white!"
Nope, I'm just not anti-anyone; I'm pro-equality - something many avid Trump supporters don't seem to understand, even those who ironically claim to believe in the Constitution.
