Not that hard to believe. I wasn't a Republican or anything because they were all about social conservatism, Jesus government, and war but I had major "what about us straight white guys?" energy. I was young, selfish, and didn't have a real world perspective yet.
I bought into that Idea that people like me were going to get a raw deal because everyone was into promoting everything I wasn't. Eventually I realized promoting what I'm not doesn't mean demoting what I am. As I built my own self confidence and personal and professional resume I stopped looking for others to "make things fair" for me.
I wasn't exactly "where is white history month?" But those notions were in my mind which is extra funny because I'm the only person I know who had liberal parents.
Anyways for me the older I got and the more I grew as a person the more confidence I had to allow others to succeed on the personal and social level.
