    Introduction

    hen The New York Times discovered two journalists, one Asian and one white, had made past racist tweets and comments, as expected, two very different outcomes emerged. Sarah Jeong, a journalist of color, had in her past, commented, dumbass f****** white people and how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men. Jeong is an American of Asian descent.¹

    Quinn Norton, a white journalist, faced a different fate as she was hired and fired on the same day when racists and homophobic tweets were discovered from her past.²

    Tiffanie Drayton explains why The New York Times stood by a journalist of color and not a white journalist. So why is the paper standing by Sarah Jeong while a white writer got the boot? The simple answer: Because the white writer is white and Jeong is a person of color. Drayton adds that since the U.S. was founded on white supremacy, it is impossible to be truly racist against white people.³ So, if you’re a person of color, you get a pass for racist comments?

    Civil rights or fairness for whites is not about racism, supremacy, separatism or hate. Although very few references to white civil rights exist that do not correspond to racism, this book never supports racism, white supremacy, separatism, violence or hate.

    This book is about fairness. The blaming and defending of White America is how fairness and decency should include white people. 

    Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and other racial groups have countless numbers of clubs and organizations that cater specifically to their race. However, a double standard applies with white-only groups as Pat Brown found when she started a White Women Yoga group on MeetUp. 

    White Women Yoga was cancelled from MeetUp as it did not meet community standards of Meetup. Yet, the group never promoted racism or made any comments about racism. 

    I see the same type of thing happening on college campuses, where we see safe spaces and college dorm floors that are all black, Brown said of her feigned attempt to start a whites-only group. Where does this stop?

    In 2017, Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, had a Day of Absence where event organizers wanted white people (students and faculty) to voluntarily stay off campus.

    White people are required to leave a courtroom in Atlanta with no repercussions towards the judge deciding this.⁶ How is that legal? 

    In retrospect, it was a mistake, Judge Marvin Arrington told CNN. Arrington, who is African-American and is a judge in Fulton County, Georgia.⁷ Would that be allowed for any other race? Would all black people be forced to leave a courtroom open to the public? 

    Yet, there’s no National Association for the Advancement, or Equality of White People to take legal action against such activity because such a group would be deemed racist.   

    White People Are Noticing Something New: Their Own Whiteness, as Emily Bazelon writes in The New York Times Magazine. Being white in America has long been treated, at least by white people, as too familiar to be of much interest. It’s been the default identity, the cultural wallpaper — something described, when described at all, using bland metaphors like milk and vanilla and codes like cornfed and all-American."⁸ 

    How could white people not notice they are white when white people are told to leave a courtroom or asked to stay off campus? 

    In America, you can’t even talk about whiteness, said Drew Domalick, who lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. If you try to embrace being white, you are portrayed as being a racist. If we had a White History Month, that would be viewed as a racist holiday.⁹ 

    Diversity training seminars have become a euphemism for a Blame-the-white-people meeting. The examples of racism or discrimination will be a diversity of racial groups attacked by a white person, yet there will not be any white people attacked by another race (based on racial attacks). No wonder the current generation thinks only that white people are guilty of hate crimes or discrimination.

    In Seattle, Washington, the Office of Civil Rights conducted a training session on Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness, to help white employees learn of their complicity in . . . white supremacy and interrupt racism in ways that are accountable to black, indigenous and people of color.¹⁰ In addition, white employees were to learn how to undo your own whiteness.¹¹ And, you, the taxpayer, will pay for it.   

     Fifty-three white employees were fired and replaced with black employees by New Orleans’s first black district attorney. The new district attorney denied he fired the employees for being white, but a mixed-race jury didn’t agree by rewarding the plaintiffs roughly $1.8 million.¹² 

    At the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, black students demanded a freestanding black museum and elected only a black homecoming queen in a bloc vote until their demands were met. It was a mandatory demand that the building be freestanding.

    The homecoming court was held as a political hostage, but the real question is why did the white students, who were the vast majority of the student body, allow this to continue for six years?¹³ 

    Almost daily in the U.S., a mantra of the white people are racists story is highlighted in the media while failing to identify other racial groups in the same manner.   

    A white high school student is assumed to be engaged in racist conduct during an encounter at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., and is subsequently slandered in the media and by online commenters.¹⁴

    The moral of each story has become white people are racists. A new generation is now educated in schools and society that promote a history of only white people do wrong.

    Hate crimes against whites don’t count, but instead are classified as a random crime.  How often has the media used a white person as the victim of a hate crime? Though mostly unheard of, many are committed.

    Cancelled, fired, and/or harassment have been the outcomes for many whites with only an accusation of racism without due process. Involving race, a person of color’s accusation is often taken over a white person’s word.

    Calling white people racist is the new how high do you want me to jump? The same group of race-baiting leaders shows up at every racial calling many times assuming the guilt of the white people or person before any proof or evidence. Racism has become an industry as people look for something to be offended. Crying racism pays well as lawsuits are invariably profitable.

    The majority (traditionally white people) no longer run the U.S., but give deference to a small number of race-based reactionary groups that are rewarded by the media for endless protests by controlling our nation through intimidation ranging from violent protests to using social events as protests.  Basically, we’ll get our way or else.   

    It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds, said 200 years ago by statesman Samuel Adams, is as relevant a statement then as it is today. 

    The same reactionary groups have decided what statues should stand and which should be toppled without any legality or due process. If you see something you don’t like, just tear it down or burn it?  

    The U.S. society has become a dichotomy of those living in two different worlds. The people that live in the new demographic of the U.S. know the realities of discrimination towards whites. And, those from an entertainment and newsroom apartheid who champion diversity until they have to diversify. Their employment in those industries is that obvious. Two industries that both provoke the white people are racist agenda, yet still remain two of the most segregated industries in the U.S. 

    In a country where whites have historically been the majority, whites have become the national enemy as the word white has become a pejorative.  In less than two decades whites will be a minority. This book presents a long-overdue account of the unfairness faced by many white people.

    Chapter One

    World And U.S. Population Demographics

    O

    ne of the most common reasons many cite for white people’s inability or less likelihood to face discrimination is that whites are the majority of the population in the United States.

    Discrimination, prejudice, or racism towards whites in turn is given a pass by using whites are the majority as the excuse though that excuse isn’t used based on whites clearly not being a majority of the world population.

    It is as good as any excuse to treat white people badly and not be called out on it. No matter what one calls it, right and wrong should not become a debate over semantics, zip codes, population percentages, or what happened in the past.

    For those that haven’t noticed or have been living in a private bubble, the demographics in the United States are rapidly changing from a white majority to a majority-minority demographic, meaning there is no clear majority of any racial group. This has already taken place in almost every major city in the United States, as well as in two states including Hawaii and California. Whites became a minority in California in 2001.¹, ²

    In addition, according to the 2020 Census Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas are less than 50 percent white, with people of color as a whole comprising a larger number than the white population. Since the last census, the white population decreased in 35 states and three-fourths of U.S. counties.³

    In 2020, the number of whites in the U.S. decreased to 57.8 percent of the population dropping from 63.7 percent in 2010 according to The Associated Press. For those under 18, people of color as a whole now make up the majority of the population (52.7 percent) outnumbering whites (47.3 percent).⁴

    That change has occurred in the last 30 years as whites in 1990 were almost 80 percent of the population.⁵ The U.S. white population is projected to be a minority by the year 2045.⁶

    Non-Hispanic whites in the U.S. have had double-digit declines in citizens eligible to vote since 2000. In all 50 states, the share of non-Hispanic white eligible voters declined between 2000 and 2018, with 10 states experiencing double-digit drops in the share of white eligible voters, according to the Pew Research Center a nonpartisan fact tank.

    As Codi Bott writes in the 2014 article, Racism Against White People Exists, …it may be time to take another look at who is really the minority…in a lot of places in the U.S. white people are becoming the minority.⁸ Either becoming or already are?

    Out of the ten most populated cities in the United States, six do not have a clear white majority. Based on the white-people-are-the-majority logic, can white people only be discriminated against in those cities? Of the top five most populous cities in the United States, none have a white majority (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia) and then San Jose, California at number ten does not.

    However, this demographic changes when whites are defined as non-Hispanic whites. Of the fifteen largest cities, counting only non-Hispanic whites, the percentages quickly drop easily to less than 50 percent of the city population. With the first eleven and number thirteen as follows: New York, NY (32.1 percent), Los Angeles, CA (28.5 percent), Chicago, IL (33.3 percent), Houston, TX (24.4 percent), Philadelphia, PA (34.5 percent), Phoenix, AZ (42.5 percent), San Antonio, TX (24.7 percent), San Diego, CA (42.8 percent), Dallas, TX (29 percent), San Jose, CA (25.7 percent), Austin, TX (48.3 percent) and number 13, San Francisco, CA (40.5 percent). This does not include countless numbers of medium or small cities and towns.⁹

    Non-Hispanic whites now account for 57.8 percent of the U.S. total population and many question that number as being too high. Have you been to most U.S. cities today? Also, would and are an estimated 10 to 30 million undocumented illegals counted and/or found?
