Are Whites Racially Oppressed?
That was the headline today at CNN. A headline which would seem more fitting on The Daily Show or The Onion News Network.
Perhaps someone forgot to inform CNN that whites are still the majority in this country and that during times of class warfare, which we are living in right now, no one cares what color your skin in, only what your net-worth is.

"We went from being a privileged group to all of a sudden becoming whites, the new victims,'' says Charles Gallagher, a sociologist at La Salle University in Pennsylvania who researches white racial attitudes and was baffled to find that whites see themselves as a minority.
"You have this perception out there that whites are no longer in control or the majority. Whites are the new minority group."
All I could think of after reading that was this.
