> That whites feel the need to act like a minority group is disturbing considering the economic and political power that we obviously weld. I don't see it being about whites though. I think its everyone except-the-activist-element-of-the-minority-group. People think Trump's victory is a victory for whites, but then cannot understand why some blacks, latinos, muslims, women, gays would vote for him. > However, if even the most privileged demographic groups engage in identity politics, then economic and political inequality will likely either be maintained or be exacerbated through tyranny of the majority. The minority always needs the support of the people wielding the power to make changes. The prominence of these movements comes from the whites joining their cause and campaigning for them. So it is in these movements best interests for the privileged demographic to engage in identity politics....or so you would think. But what is happening now is that the privileged are peer pressured to go along with everything, but are told not to engage or criticise. Naively, you would think that this social justice machine that has been created is a positive force. But the backlash from the election of Trump shows that it is moving to fast and is actually counter-productive to the objectives of these movements.
