Could it be their history of abusing minorities? Let’s unpack this
“The Great Replacement Theory.” Since early 2017, white supremacists popularized “you will not replace us” as a slogan in graffiti, flyers, and other promotional materials. And while this theory is new to some, American journalists sent out numerous warning shots about this ideology and the possibility of a full-blown census backlash.
Last summer, Charles M. Blow wrote in The New York Times that this was “a terrifying census for white nationalists.” It turns out. Blow was right. After discovering in the census that the White population decreased for the first time in American history, hate crimes committed against Black Americans continued to rise more than any other group.
So, perhaps, many White people fear becoming a minority group in America because of their generations-long record of treating minorities like second-class citizens. And rather than pursue racial equality, far too many White people have a scarcity mindset and want to keep Black people subjugated because they wrongly believe America has “limited resources.”
Could it be that White people pushing “The Great Replacement Theory” are afraid of becoming a minority group because they don’t want to be treated the same way they treated Indigenous, Black, and Latino people? And if they are capable of acknowledging, at least to themselves, that they wouldn't want to walk a mile in Black Americans’ shoes, then why are they actively contributing to the hatred, discrimination, and violence Black Americans experience?
