Isn’t it amusing how some very wealthy white pundits think that this is “their country”, especially after making millions on daily hate speech made up completely from straw men and red herrings?

Rush Limbaugh
“I went to bed last night thinking we are outnumbered,”
“I went to bed last night thinking we’ve lost the country. I don’t know how else you look at this.”

@Mechtech to Rush
I wonder if Paspahegh territory Chief Wahunsenacawh felt that way in 1607 as his land was renamed Jamestown by Captain John Smith’s colony?
Or maybe the Pokanoket chief Massasoit expressed similar sentiments as William Brewster and Myles Standish renamed his land Plymouth Colony in 1621…

Bill O’Reilly
“The white establishment is now the minority,”
“And the voters, many of them, … want stuff.”
“… People feel that they are entitled to things …”

@Mechtech to Bill-O
Perhaps the Aztec emperor Moctezuma II, said something like that when he first met Hernán Cortés, just before Moctezuma was killed for his gold…
These two white guys cannot stomach the reality that there are people of other colors in this country, and more coming every day... How incredibly ironic!
