The War on Whiteness: It's Been Happening for Years—And People Are Finally Saying So, By Chris Knight(Florida)
In today's culture, there is one group of people you can mock, marginalise, and malign without fear of consequence—white people. Particularly white men. Say the quiet part out loud, and you risk cancellation, job loss, or public shaming. But people are waking up. And voices like Matt Walsh are making it impossible to ignore the truth any longer: there has been a war on whiteness in the West for decades, and many are finally reaching the point of saying "enough."
Let's get one thing straight: if what's being done to white people today were being done to any other racial group, it would be called out for what it is, systemic racism. The double standards are as glaring as they are absurd. A perfect example? The ever-controversial "n-word."
We're told that a word is too hateful, too vile, too dangerous to be spoken, but only if you're white. Black entertainers, athletes, and influencers can say it a hundred times a day, even profit from it, and it's considered "empowering." But a white person quoting it in an academic context, a lyric, or even just raising the question of fairness? That's career-ending. That's cancellation. That's "racism." Of course use of the n word is wrong, but it should be wrong for everybody, including Black rap musicians who use it all the time. How does this make sense?
It doesn't. And that's exactly the point Walsh drives home: these are not moral standards; they are arbitrary social controls upheld by guilt and fear. It's not about decency, it's about power. Telling one group that they are uniquely disqualified from using certain words, expressing certain views, or advocating for their own identity isn't justice. It's domination.
And what keeps this game going? White guilt. Guilt has become the fuel of the modern West. Generations of white people, most of whom have never owned a slave, passed a segregation law, or committed a racial offense, are expected to carry the moral burden of history. Meanwhile, every other racial group is encouraged to "celebrate their identity," form advocacy groups, promote their heritage, and defend their own, while white people are told to erase theirs.
Make no mistake: this isn't just an American problem. Across the Anglosphere—from the U.S. and Canada to Britain and Australia, the narrative is the same. "Whiteness" is demonised. Western history is rewritten as a tale of unending oppression. Schoolchildren are taught to be ashamed of their heritage. And anyone who pushes back is smeared as a racist or far-Right extremist. Enough is enough.
The recent explosion of frustration, seen online, on campuses, in political commentary, isn't the start of a race war. As Walsh points out, it's the end of a rigged game. A game where only white people are punished for "racial insensitivity," where racial crimes committed by non-whites are swept under the rug or even rewarded (as in the recent Karmelo Anthony stabbing case), and where expressing pride in your European heritage is considered hate speech.
It's not "racism" to say that these standards are broken. It's not "fragility" to point out that no society can survive if it systematically undermines and shames its majority population. And it's not "extremism" to demand equal treatment, not special rights, just the same rights everyone else is already granted.
The war on whiteness is real. It's cultural, ideological, and institutional. But more people are beginning to see it for what it is: a coordinated effort to demoralise, disenfranchise, and silence an entire group of people based solely on their skin color. And as history has shown, no people will tolerate being vilified forever.
This isn't about hate. It's about honesty. It's about fairness. And it's about finally standing up and saying: we're not playing this game anymore. Fairness and justice for everyone, including Whites!

MATT WALSH (HOST): Now it's really — it is simple. If it's wrong to say the word, then it's wrong for anyone to say it. If Black people want white people to not say the word, then they need to not say it. If you say it, everyone else can say it. Point blank. It's that simple. That's how life works. Deal with it. No, you can't do that. You can't say, we can do this thing, but you can't. Doesn't work that way. It does not work that way. Well, it did work that way for a long time. It was indefensible, and it's just not gonna work that way anymore. Sorry. And no matter who is saying it, it's not any worse than any other slur or vulgarity. It's not special. The word is not magical. It's not some kind of mystical curse. It's not some kind of dark incantation that conjures evil spirits from the netherworld. It's just a word. It's a vulgar word. It's a rude word. It's a word that I believe polite people shouldn't say for the same reason they shouldn't use any other vulgarity. I'm using n-word right now instead of saying the actual word for the same reason that I would say f-word or c-word instead of those actual words. Those are vulgar words, but that's all.
The reflexive, indefensible, capricious, vacillating racial double standards are over. People are fed up with them. They are fed up with the game and they don't want to play it anymore. And that's all that this word has become. That's all that our quote unquote race relations have become, a game. A game with arbitrary rules and incredibly excessive punishments for anyone who breaks them. It's like the societal equivalent of a child, you know, trying to walk on the sidewalk without stepping on a crack. Eventually, the kid gets bored with it, starts walking normally again because it turns out that if you step on a crack, you're not really gonna break your mother's back. The rules are fake. And eventually, people get tired of following them. Telling white people and white people only that they can't combine two specific syllables under any circumstance, it's like telling them they can't touch their head unless someone says Simon says. OK? They're not gonna play the game forever.
White guilt is the fuel that keeps all this going. White guilt is what convinces white people to follow arbitrary rules that make no sense, to tolerate, even defend a system that's rigged against them with blatant double standards. It's what's compelled white people to acquiesce to a culture that says that, you know, every race can and should defend and root for their own. But white people, and white people only, should not be conscious of their race at all. None of it is fair or morally coherent. And the Karmelo Anthony case where a Black teen raked in half a million dollars as a reward for stabbing a white kid to death was for a lot of people the final straw. The final straw of many, many straws. It is no surprise that the Shiloh Hendrix case comes on the heels of that.
You know, a lot of people online are fretting that this is the beginning of some kind of race war, but I don't think it's a race war, and it's certainly not the beginning. I mean, there's been a war waged on whiteness for a long time in this country. So this cannot be the beginning of anything, but it may be the end of something. The end of racial level standards. The end of cancel culture. This is an ugly story in a lot of ways. But if history has shown us anything, it's that ugly things die ugly deaths.
