White Men Rule

[DaveJ]

65. I do not appreciate being marginalized

Sorry but I respect other people regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, hairstyle, heritage, accent, shape, fashion, nose size, how good their teeth are, where their parents went to college, etc., and expect the same treatment. I do not respect articles written to devalue anyone, even if statistics say the group, as a whole, are doing better according to certain metrics. That's no excuse. I have a total of 90 minutes of my own time every day and work every minute of the remainder just to keep a roof over my head, which is not the result of any privilege, but a never-ending struggle for survival. If there are some assholes out there, do not blame it on skin or body parts, but on their lack of character. What if the word "White" had been replaced with "Jewish". How well would this article be received? I support bills that deal with fairness toward any group, and I have nothing against acknowledging demographics and embracing their individuality, but there is no place for hate, even if it is to convey a "point." There are a lot of assholes out there, don't get me wrong, I totally understand that, and if you want to look toward white men, point out there are more white men making laws, that's fine, but it should be made clear that the real problem is lack of sophisticated character.
