According to Heavy.com, Richard Russell "liked… conservative personalities like Sean Hannity and Ben Shapiro" on his Facebook page. I want to understand what this means in the context of this very interesting exchange that occurred between him and an air traffic controller on Aug 10.
Russell: "Hey, do you think if I land this successfully Alaska will give me a job as a pilot?"
Air Traffic Controller: "You know, I think they would give you a job doing anything if you could pull this off."
Russell: "Yeah, right! Nah, I'm a white guy."
This is very significant, and its meaning only deepens when we consider, with clarity, how Hannity and Shapiro butter their bread. There is really only one thing that these white men say to the ordinary white men who watch or listen to their shows: "Rich white men are not the ones making your life miserable. It is, instead, everyone else: women, homosexuals, blacks, Mexicans, Asians, you name it." What is amazing is only a small number of these people (the others) are found in top political and corporate positions in the USA. This headline, for example, is not surprising: "Kellyanne Conway Couldn't Name a Black Official in West Wing." Nor is this one: "White Men Account for 72% of Corporate Leadership at 16 of the Fortune 500 Companies." In fact, 91% of Fortune 500 CEOs are white men. All of the ten-richest people in the US are white men. We can go on and on like this. Once the data gets started, it's hard to stop it. And yet, powerless people are the ones ruining the lives of ordinary white men.
The brown people are taking their jobs, they are taking their places in the colleges, and they are making loads of money for doing nothing of any social worth. Indeed, one can only be impressed by the extent and success of this social engineering (or social hypnosis). All around you, white men in power; but all your social and economic problems caused by people who are not in power. If you are lifting bags onto and off a plane for minimum wage, and not living the life you see in your dreams, blame above all the powerless.
