(12,051 posts)contribute to the failure. Once women and black people won the rights to attend college, apply for decent-paying jobs, etc., they proved themselves able to meet or exceed any standards. White men, who had been taught that only they were smart enough, hard-working enough and also blessed by God himself to lead everyone else, found out they weren't so damn special after all.
And that's why they are pissed. They have to PROVE their worth, not just claim it because they are white.
Essentially, these types are immature and the internet has fed that immaturity. That's why lots of these guys are still living with their parents, refuse to do well in school, and hold minor jobs, if any. In the past (I'm 70), these guys would be tossed out of the house and forced to work construction, whatever, to support themselves. That's how they matured (some of them). Most 'white man' jobs, no matter how badly they pay now, paid well because only white men were hired for them and they protected each other. That has all changed. Then add in automation. With automation, we are ALL fucked.
