American Idiots:
“Don’t wanna be an American Idiot,” well, unless you are the deplorables storming state capitols with machine guns and whining about re-opening states when there is a global health pandemic. Currently, we are witnessing the level of ignorance of the minority population, ignorant white people protesting to reopen a low-wage service-based economy which will place many essential workers, mainly Black, Hispanics at higher risk of contracting COVID-19. The Tea Party-style protesting taking place to reopen and states with GOP governors declaring “victory” over a global health pandemic illustrates the long history of the dumbness of white people whining about the dumbest issues. Not only that, but it also illustrates the failure of taken the global health pandemic seriously as other nations. Thus far, New Zealand is the only country that has been able to eliminate the coronavirus with a smart, strict stay at home orders and a competent Prime Minister who cares for the well-being of her citizens.
“Sidebar: white people whining about the dumbest demonstrates their history of selfish, individualistic ways which has fragmented America and similar nations.”
Green Day’s American Idiot is right for this time and is the definition of white people protesting to reopen when the pandemic will get worse. Sidebar: white people whining about the dumbest issues demonstrates their history of selfish, individualistic ways which has fragmented America.
White People Stay Whining:
Throughout history, we witness how white people whine over the smallest issues similar to a two-year-old child who has a tantrum and can get their way. Sidebar: watching season 4 episode 3 of Mad Men, and it was the pale male who line was “we gave them (black people) these rights, what more do they want? Also, imagine what would happen if Congress passed Medicare for All. The selfishness of white people is the result of our polarized politics, appalling policies passed not beneficial to the nation and the people. Additionally, the selfishness of white people is why Trump exists. Sidebar: as much as we complain about having to stay home, need a break from the office, this global pandemic is the opportunity to do so, yet here we are complaining. Furthermore, white people using “rights” as an argument to reopen the low-wage service economy which some have family members as essential workers, illustrates they do not care about their fellow citizens.

Although the themes of white people whining, their selfishness, and individualistic ways are illustrated in history, the global health pandemic has truly revealed their lack of collectivism. 🤔It’s funny how white people love to use the rhetoric of rights, it is not fair, yet purposely ignore the rights of fellow citizens who do not support the sentiments of reopening when the infections rates are rising and more people are dying due to lack of proper medical supplies.
Dear White People:
The minority population of white people protesting, and their toxic ideology is causing more harm during this global pandemic which will last longer and take more lives. These American Idiots, they are the dead weight dragging America down.
