Toni Morrison: Fear of losing white privilege led to Trump's election.

3. "The threat is frightening."

Hit the nail on the head!

I have been watching football (Eagles) this year. And I was shocked (thanks to decades of effort from the likes of Jesse Jackson and others) at the number of black head football coaches (and coordinators) AND (starting) black quarterbacks. It has been eye-opening given the days when there were little or none (and guys like Warren Moon were worshiped). Plenty of line backers, tackles, and even wide-outs, but no one calling the plays.

In industry after industry, we have had to fight for our rightful places based on merit after being denied solely due to skin color. Yet doing this has been promoted by the detractors and the media as someone "taking" someone else's (a white's) job and "rightful place" in society.

I.e., the "natural order" was disrupted.

However if one were to take this fantastical scenario all the way out to some far future, they would simply devolve into typical Euro-descended ethnic maelstroms, not unlike what you have seen historically throughout European history.

Eliminating us (POC) eliminates one facet of "competition" that they wouldn't have to deal with. We have been easy low-hanging fruit to attempt to remove in order to gain advantage. However many of us descend from folks who had much deeper roots in this country than most European-descendants who are here today. I.e., those whose families only arrived here post-Civil War - generally in the late 19th & early 20th centuries.
