Wow, It Must Be So Hard To Be A White Conservative Christian

I can only imagine the trials you face daily.

Wow, It Must Be So Hard To Be A White Conservative Christian
Red Alert Politics

I come from a small town, where the vast majority of people are white, conservative, and Christian. These people all hold the same ideals, and it's no surprise to me when I get on Facebook and see them sharing a particular type of article. These articles are written by young adults my age and are typically written on Odyssey or another similar website. These articles all have the same theme: how hard it is to be a white, conservative Christian.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to be you. I mean really, you must face some serious trials and tribulations. It must be so hard to be a member of the most predominant race in America. And I'm sure that it's a struggle to be a conservative when a conservative Republican is running the country. And let's not forget how hard it is to be Christian! I can only imagine what terrible trials and tribulations you face as a practitioner of the world's most predominant religion! It must be just awful. I can only imagine the oppression you face daily.

I can only imagine what it's like to walk down the street, stricken with absolute fear that you might be verbally or physically abused because of your porcelain skin. I imagine that it's terribly hard to admit that you're a Christian to others (even though there's a 62% chance that the person you're talking to affiliates themselves with your religion or a branch of it).

Let's not forget how hard it is to be conservative in Trump's America. I feel so bad for you. My heart breaks because of how hard you have it here. You probably can't even voice your political opinion. So tragic.

Does this sound ridiculous to you?

It should. You don't face oppression in America because you're white, and you definitely won't feel oppressed because you're conservative. Not to mention that it's literally impossible for you to be oppressed as a Christian; it is, in fact, the world's most predominant religion (followed by Islam and Catholicism).

I think it's ironic when conservatives say liberals are overly-sensitive and whine all the time, and then I come across an article like that. You'll be fine for the next four years for sure, so just shut up and enjoy your little ride on the Trump train straight into the gutter. As for me and mine, we'll keep fighting for what we know is right regardless of what you think.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
