What is the alternative, though?
I am sure there are still too many people caught up in the completely unfounded idea that for some reason one race is superior to another. Some might even be in it not because it adds up logically, but because they grew up with deep racism and never grew out it. But the
reason these movements are seeing a resurgence in our times is because otherwise good white folk who are just trying to get by are being actively told
they are the problem by well-meaning but near-sighted leftists who would rather cry “privilege!” than actually work with others to bring about positive change for everyone.
Whenever I watch any American show or movie that shows prisons, it is clear how the dude who just wants to be left alone has no choice but to join one of the gangs, based on which most closely resembles his race. It is the same outside, though the violence is social rather than physical.
Just as poor African Americans who have grown up learning to hate violent white men because that is all they have been exposed to, the reverse is true. I am hispanic and not white, but I can imagine the frustration of growing up poor, with little possibilities, surrounded by crime, alcoholism, and people hating your guts just because your skin color is white, and then having a bunch of people accusing you of oppression, of being in some sort of vantage position.
The more leftists continue to push back and try to quiet people based on group identity (rather than actual individual actions, which should absolutely come with the liability that follows), the more the alt-right will continue to recruit these young lost elements into the ranks.
IMO, the best course of action is to just dare to go against the current and stop looking for oppressors to shout down, and instead
listen and try to understand.
The alt-right and the far-left are at war, and in all wars plenty is lost. We should let diplomacy resume.
