The reply has been flagged but if they implied that the OP was being a bigoted dickhead then they were correct.
Practically every single time a comment like that is made, with exceptions so rare as to be irrelevant, the commenter is implying "Well if it weren't for the blacks and immigrants we'd be on top" which isn't true.[1]
But I couldn't be sure, so I looked into it.
The OP is a far-right (his self-description NOT mine [2]) Christian unhealthily obsessed with commenting on posts that contain an opening into which their opinions on race and/or gender may be inserted.
So, if the now-flagged comment was somehow asserting that the commenter was being a bigoted dickhead, the exact right amount of reading into was done.
