White, Male, Heterosexual, American

[JaymesBlond007]

What is it about those words? Why is it, that when those words are combined, start to portray an oppressive, uncaring, aggressive, greedy, monster?

I've been careful throughout my life not step on peoples toes. I know exactly what it feels like to be lied to as well as betrayed. To have a generous nature taken advantage of, and then left alone, wanting and needing.

But I have to be honest when I say, that every time I read an article about what a bullie Americans are, or that "White Corperate America" is responsible for the downfall of civilization, or hear a woman say that men are just "insensitive assholes". It breaks a small piece of my soul off, and I can't get it back. The title of this thread describes me. It is far from the entire person that I am, but I'm not quite sure anybody even cares about individuality anymore.

This thread might seem like whining, and it very well might be, but I want to see why everyone thinks it's OK to just round up a group of people, slap a lable on them, and just crucify them at every given moment. Why is it that I feel so ashamed for things that I have never even been a part of, things that are even against my own personal morals, beliefs, and standards?

White Males are an easy target as no one will defend us, the evil racist, homophobic,sexist pigs that were portrayed to be.I have yet to find any mens rights groups that have any power to lobby for mens issues,The fact is individual rights groups have found a common villian the White Male and we are an easy target.This is perpetuated by the liberal media.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was raised to do such noble things like take care of my family,treat women with respect and accept others like I would like to be treated.In other words be a constructive member of society. In the work place I see young women motivated and continuing there education as they have been told they can be anything they aspire to be.This is a GOOD THING.The flip side is that young white males have been told there options are limited and this shows up in the fact that white males attending college has dropped off considerably while enrollment is up for women and minorities.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I believe in equal oppurtunity for everyone,that the best person be hired for a job that we all get paid the same wage for the same work.I will not feel guilty about what happened in thepast,A past that I had nothing to do with.But to some members of society / media I will always be seen as an oppressor.I remember taking my kids to the zoo some years back,It was gay pride day and I remember called a breeder.Just goes to show that intolerance is a 2 way street.

I was thinkin the same thing. They should try being "SOUTHERN White Male Heterosexual American" hell we are supposed to attone for all the sins of humanity.

Course then again it could be worse....I could not be southern.

I am not a white male American!

I am riff, trapped in a white American male's body!

Texas.... ugh.... don't get me started.

Much prefer thinking of some the east texas slide I have been lucky enough to stick my dick in- it redeems everything I loathe about the national laboratory of bad government,

I understand what you're saying, 007, but I think that attitude is pretty much passe, at least in the "liberal" academic world. Sure, you still hear people voicing such things every now and then--blaming all the world's ills on a certain powerful demographic group--but that isn't how the liberals/radicals I know think about it now. That kind of thing was more prominent 10-15 years ago, but I don't hear it much any more.

And as for blaming it on the so-called liberal media, as some are wont to do . . . I just don't understand that attribution: "Liberal" media!? Gimme a break. The media are in business for one reason only: to make as much fucking money as they possibly can. That makes them conservative to the core: they have a tremendous investment in preserving a politco-economic system that has made them extremely wealthy. They're not going to do anything to destroy the good ol' US of A. Look elsewhere for scapegoats.

The more general the generalization, the easier it is to understand the world.

Bash anyone in your way, then bash back harder. Sounds like nuclear winter approaching.

Ah, but you haven't *lived* until you've experienced Oklahoma.

There's a non-cultural outpost of neanderthal mentality and
pseudo religious conformity for you.

And then, I am convinced that the asshole of the universe exists somewhere very close to Wichita, Kansas. (where it is illegal to buy beer after midnight Saturday night...because its technically Sunday) (what? You mean God doesn't drink beer????)

Texas is downright progressive compaired to these folks...

Excellent post. Very true.

But no one will care.

Try getting a good government job as a white, heterosexual, male American. Can't do it. Unless the job requires a high degree, such as a Masters.

Come with me to the VA hospital next time and look at the staff.

But see, just my making that statement makes me a racist, and evil. Fair game, a target.

While I am getting into trouble I might as well go all the fucking way.

I don't speak SPANISH, this is not MEXICO. This is the United States of America. We speak English here. I am so damned tired of hearing every public announcement being made in English and Spanish.

I am tired of everything I buy having directions in English and Spanish.

So forth and so on.

There, I feel better now. What the hell were we talking about anyhow?

 

[Lost Cause]

The people that use those labels do so because their arguement is too weak to stand on its own. Divide and conquer..make you go on the defense so automatically you look in the wrong. It's another example of reverse hate.
Besides, humans are so cross-bred, who is honestly "white?" or "black?" or, "?"

Well said! It all goes back to the very beginning------If a white male makes any comment that is not PC he is automatically labeled as a racist, homophobic ,sexist pig. I feel sorry for the young white males still in school who have been feminized over the last 20 years by an anti male agenda set in place by radical feminists or the continued drugging of young white males with ritilin,adderal and other ADD drugs so that the teachers can control them in class. Odd that when I was a kid we didnt have issues with Attention Deficit Disorder,We had something in the schools called disciplin and respect for others a certain code of conduct so to speak. But those rules of order are not good as they were put in place by the evil white male..
