That's an easy one.

The vast majority of the brainwashed Americans are white, and only see white
workers as "ordinary." From their point of view, progressive attempts to
foster equality for Americans who aren't white are seen as giving special
rights to non-white Americans and taking rights, or exclusive access to
specific rights, away from white Americans. The Republican party plays into
that delusion every chance that they get; in fact, that was the basis of the
"Southern Strategy" in the mid-20th century.

Gregory, for example, once took offense at the idea of a purple mannequin
wearing a BLM t-shirt. I can only guess that it was offensive to him because
in his worldview, people of one color should only care about other people of
that same color, and purple people showing support for black people was
inconceivable.
