- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

It's weird... cuz, even if there is a bias against white men, its still white men that rule the most of the world and have all the money, and run the major corporations. But white men feel like they're getting replaced?
On the other hand, America has always been a mix, but always had a strong foundation of white men, and it does feel like that base might be changing. Something is changing
Edit: it's flabbergasting that a reply like this gets down votes
People are becoming educated about the myth of racism and the privilege bestowed on pale skins by racism.

I don't know how much privilege we can say was/is bestowed on white people. I think in history, white people weren't having much bestowed on them, rather, they were usually the bestowers.
That sounds harsher than I wanted it to.
