With Nazis and Klansmen on the march, under the rhetorical cover of the President of the United States, I think it’s important to remember that your average, least-common-denominator, racist foot soldier is actually a pathetic little twerp. It doesn’t make them any less dangerous, but let’s remember that we’re fighting clowns. Dangerous, ruddy clowns.
You have to be able to laugh at that, at least a little bit.

I mean, take a look at this kid. He is a student from the now defunct Charlotte School of Law: which means I’m immediately inclined to feel sorry for him while also questioning his judgement.
Charlotte School of Law had a lot of problems, problems that were well-documented on this website. But this guy thinks he’s found the real reason the school failed: affirmative action. Here are some sad and hilarious Facebook posts. [Note: I’m redacting the names, not because I’m squeamish about outing racists, but because this website has a long standing policy of not outing law students who have committed no crime.]
See, the core of white grievance logic is that anything bad can be traced back to a minority, somewhere, who “got” something that “belonged” to a white man. That belief is the wellspring of all other despicable beliefs.

Anyway, our guy continues:
Charlotte Law School, and schools like it, take advantage of minorities by charging them high prices for useless law degrees. This guy is blaming the victims of the school’s scam for the scam not succeeding.
But that just shows his macro-economic ignorance. On the personal level, it’s a special kind of jerkoff who thinks he is superior to people he is literally going to school with.
Of course, people like him think that the only reason they have to go to a school like Charlotte is because of race. This guy thinks his white race held him back from higher achievement:
In the wake of Charlottesville, I’ve seen a lot of surprised expressed by the fact that the Alt-Right movement is manned by young people, many of whom have at least a college education. But that’s no surprise to people who have been to an American law school over the past 20 years. These “young professional” racists are there, open, and unashamed.
AND they are clowns. Let’s not forget that.
