Oh. You were serious???
Sorry, must be the "Privileged White Guy" in me speaking... many of us are truly assholes.
"Trolls aside," what you wrote sounds rather trollish.
I don't agree with many things posted on DU. Some posters here irritate the hell out of me, just as I probably irritate the hell out of many posters, five of them enough they've put me on ignore. And maybe I'll pick up some more with this post.
But seriously dude, there is no war against Privileged White Guys here. What usually happens is that some PWG says something stupid that only a PWG would say and then he gets flamed for it. Or rarely, people misread something a PWG says and they flame him, at which point he clarifies his position. This clarification is accepted or he doubles down and proves to everyone reading that he's a clueless Privileged White Guy who isn't worth listening to.
Babies don't post on DU so they can't be thrown out with the bathwater. Most people are fairly kind to the clueless at first, but once it seems they are being deliberately obtuse and ignorant, then they lose patience.
I'm going to ask you a question here, and you can ignore it, you can divert, or you can put me on ignore.
The question is, "What don't you get?"
TalkingDog made an excellent point here:

Read the article he links to and contemplate the animated gif before you answer.
If you come back saying something only a clueless PWG would say, expect flames.
