As a white male I am blamed for all the ills of society

163. For reals! Being a white male kicks ass!

All we have to do is admit it to ourselves - life would suck more if we did not hit the genetic lottery. And it has zero to do with biology.

Our culture has brought us up to be hard working and industrious. At a minimum, it is the perception. Protestant work ethic and all. We run with the idea that working smarter AND harder will make us successful. At the minimum, it is a badge of honor in some white cultures not to be a slacker, regardless of how crappy the job is. With that, whether as reality or perception, we will always have access to employment. Somebody who has money will want your services if you have something useful to offer. People of other races and ethnicities, particularly African American and to a lesser degree Latinos, do not enjoy that privilege.

Strong smart white people have nothing to fear from acknowledging privilege. Others... sorry, your on your own. If you want to succeed, quit blaming others, improve yourself. Take courses, read, communicate about something besides how much other people suck. Consider the option that what you WANT to do may not be available, but SOMETHING that pays the rent will be.

Damn, you would think it was difficult by the way people whine!
