First there was that awful moment when that white lady stripped naked and then jumped into that black man's arms on national TV. Sure it was supposed to be only a spoof, but there are some things you just don't joke about, especially on TV when the children are watching!
Then there was George W. Bush, who had to wade in and rescue his bodyguard from that crowd of scruffy little brown people in South America, then strutting away straightening his shirt and dusting off his sleeves only to boycott a state dinner later that evening because the locals wouldn't let the U.S. Secret Service search each one of the foreigners who planned to attend.
That was followed by the upstanding good old boy who threw his beer at one of the black gladiators on the basketball court. The ensuring melee resulted in the suspension of a number of black men from the team but no consequences for the white beer-thrower because, after all, he paid for his court-side seats.
And then there was the Hmong man who shot eight white deer hunters and killed six, after the white people harassed the foreigner (a U.S. citizen and a veteran) and tried to drive him from "their" land.
What is it that these people don't understand about supremacy?
