What the right white folks keep forgetting is that despite the narrative, they are still the majority of this country, so whatever fate befalls “minorities” will have a greater impact on them, because percentages reflect only that percentages… numbers are a different story, for example in 2019-2020 it is true that Covid affected Black folks the most percentage wise… but we are 13% (you are around 60%) of the population in numbers that means while around 75K of us died, it also means that 280K of white folks died, that is 200K more deaths. Got it? (those numbers were estimations from the web/ai).
And that is the thing you always, always forget, when it comes to human lives, raw numbers are far more important than percentages. Round up there are about 40 million Black folks in the US but 200 million white folks, so any way you want to slice things up… whatever affects us, you will have more white folks affected than black folks, because lives are not percentages and laws, bills, etc.. are not race specific, yup even the civil rights act… applies to all living human beings in the US.
When you are told for example that 16 million people will be off health care in the not-so-distant future… that means every single human living in all those 8 states combined! Let that sink in. 10 million of these will be white folks.
When you hear about things you think don’t relate to you, such as let’s say the bathroom bills, remember that the majority of those who are going to be mistaken for a trans woman, are white women and white girls. Yes folks when the genital inspectors descend, it’s gonna be on your wives, daughters, mothers and sisters.
SNAP benefits cuts, would affect 15.5 million white people
Medicaid cuts, would affect 37.6 million white people
This map shows how many MORE white people will be affected in just those states
So next time you hear something will affect minorities more percentage wise, try to remember that in numbers YOU will be the biggest demographic affected.
Also since you’re so attached to your majority numbers, you should want more scientists not less, so they can figure out what, besides the financial aspects, is causing your low birth rates.
And while we are on the topic of family, all those trad-wives videos that have you salivating for such a life, aren’t real. No woman taking care of children and home is so pristine and well dressed unless they are not the ones doing the work.
In conclusion, start thinking about how to protect yourselves and stop focusing on minorities, because you are responsible for your own dwindling majority as you keep letting your own die to “own the libs” or some such nonsense.
