15. This is the sound white privilege makes when it's wounded.

Thousands of pale, angry people converge, outraged that someone poorer and browner than they might get something for free, or for cheap.

For all their hand-wringing about government spending, their failure to oppose the wars shows them to be liars.

Despite their talk about fascism, their love for Bush/Cheney shows them to be liars.

They claim to fear socialism, but their failure to oppose Medicare (or any of the other many examples of socialized systems) shows them to be liars.

"This is not the America my father died for" is the dog whistle.
