The cultural mindset and identity of people who believe themselves to be "white" is and has always been one of scarcity and gross insecurity. Especially concerning those they believe to be "black".
Maybe we need a plan of action for when the clock inevitably runs out for such a group as that.

13334170, If I elaborate it'll be way too verbose, but in short Posted by Atillah Moor, Wed May-22-19 09:05 AM
It would appear that the population of those who identify as white is in decline and being in decline is bad enough
A culture trying to actively maintain an identity which must other different groups based on irrational emotions of fear and anxiety (insecurity) while also in a state of decline further exacerbates that condition
Factor in opioids, abortions, divorce rates, women on the battlefield (further reduction potential), and the growing wealth divide, and it paints a bleak picture for that group

13333767, *throws flag* "actually".... Posted by Mr. ManC, Mon May-20-19 11:51 AM
None of this is "Reparations" in the actual sense that people want credit for. If we are talking about a cash reparation, you don't need a "policy" for that. You could have a commission come up with an amount and distribution procedure for payments, but that is not "policy" persay. What is being proposed are we should have policies that consciously consider restorative efforts to offset the Black American experience. But if that doesn't count for Bernie or other legislation already in the Senate, then naw, Bootyjudge gets no love for this, yet.
(Verbatim)
KEY POLICY Create a commission to propose reparations policies for Black Americans and close the racial wealth gap Black Americans were enslaved and then systematically excluded from full citizenship through laws and policies that purposely relegated Black Americans into second-class personhood and that sanctioned racial discrimination. The effects are ongoing, and exclusionary policies linger. America must enter a new era that promotes political, economic, social, and racial equity in part by specifically reversing the harms of racist policies and practices. Only by remedying the vestiges of slavery and confronting our nation's shameful history of racism can we move to a place where full freedom is attainable for Black communities.
ADDITIONAL POLICIES Invest in entrepreneurship and home ownership Eliminate health disparities, including in maternal and infant health Defend affirmative action and combat the opportunity gap Protect and expand voting rights Support self-determination of Indigenous populations Redress inequality in our criminal justice system Dismantle the prison-industrial complex to end the crisis of mass incarceration

Legal documents related to Pete Buttigieg’s ousting of South Bend’s first black police chief describe a plan by white police officers in 2011 to use Buttigieg’s campaign donors to get him to remove the chief, Darryl Boykins, once Buttigieg became mayor.
“It is going to be a fun time when all white people are in charge,” one officer is quoted as saying in the documents, which describe secret police recordings. The previously undisclosed documents shed new light on the most controversial chapter of Buttigieg’s South Bend political career.
The documents describe a plan to use two Buttigieg donors — including his campaign chairman — to lobby Buttigieg on personnel changes at the South Bend Police Department (SBPD). Both donors deny having such discussions with Buttigieg.
----------------------------------------------
and Pete had problems when he met with BLM
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/18/pete-buttigieg-met-with-black-lives-matter-after-eric-logan-shooting.html
As he runs for president, Pete Buttigieg has tried to contain the public fallout from the fatal police shooting this summer of a 54-year-old black father in South Bend, Indiana. Instead his closed-door efforts have only exacerbated his problems with black activists.
Members of Black Lives Matter, who met privately with Buttigieg in the weeks after the shooting, say the 37-year-old Democratic mayor brushed off their concerns about police violence in the city he has led since 2012.
“He seemed to have already taken a side. It did seem that he was prioritizing who he thought was important, and it didn’t seem to be black people,” said Melina Abdullah, a co-founder of the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter who participated in a July call between the mayor and activists.
“I remember he felt very rushed, as if he wanted to check it off a box as something that he did,” said Abdullah, who is a professor at California State University in Los Angeles.
