Why don’t you all stop bashing people based on their race and sex? I know it’s trendy to shit on white people now, particularly men, and every SJW wants to get on record as having done so. But, it is destructive and doesn’t do anyone any good in the long run.

Totally this

Poor white people were never privileged.

Oh okay. So they were enslaved? So they couldn’t eat at woolworths or sit where they wanted on the bus or go to school or get a housing loan or a job? I had no idea.

We didn't have a Woolworth's. I grew up in a trailer, not a house. We didn't have public buses. After the glass plant shutdown, no one had jobs.

DP... now add being black, and your troubles double.

eh. when white people, particularly white men, stop questionning minority leaders and whether they are "real Americans", and tell them to "go back to their country", then you have an argument. That doesn't do any good in the long run, and only adds fuel to the SJW fire.

This is it. 100%.

If they are upset about having to share, about equal opportunities, about be held accountable for their actions, then they have 1/100 the anger that women, POC, and other marginalized groups have felt over the years, decades . . . they finally know what it feels like. Unfair? Unfair, my a--.

And, btw, many men acknowledge this with grace.

Characters being changed to female all the time. It’s ridiculous to swing so far to the other side so all I can show my son is old tv shows or movies with a boy lead.

Have you shown him CSPAN?

Kidding, but seriously, all my DD sees on TV (when I let her) are sassy kids and tweens having vapid conversations. Current media for kids is crap unless you curate it. There may not be great current media for your young son but he is growing up in a world where most leaders look just like him. It makes a difference.

Yes, they now have to compete with 100% of the population as opposed to the small subset they competed with before. That said, tell him to back his feelings up with facts because where I sit Fortune 500 CEOs, board members and Sr positions are still held by people who look like your DH.

I also have a teen DS who is UMC, white and he’ll tell you he is privileged and hasn’t faced any adversity. Growing up in the DC suburbs for a white boy is not overwhelmingly challenging for many kids.

I guess you have a point if you want to go back 150 years ago.

Must be nice to be willfully ignorant. Works for your narrative.

- What would they like to see happen to young white boys? There's school, there's sports, there are a whole host of other activities if parents choose to pursue them. While it is true that there are efforts to support some members of minority groups and girls -- these efforts are linked to the under-representation and under-investment in these groups historically.

- Who is calling them / saying these things? Note: If you're Justice Kavanaugh, that's because there are very specific concerns that need to be addressed.

- Let's have some stats on that. (Note, the ones that I know about do not suggest anything close to this. Check the numbers on hiring, firing, and salaries.)

- Which "media" and what do you mean by "taken over"? Again, provide some data. How many head anchors are women and/or minorities? How many women and minorities have their own news shows?

- White men seem to be doing pretty fine as I see it -- particularly if they're Republican. How many Senators have been women and/or members of minority groups in the last 100 years? CEOs of major corporations? In any case, my point is that I don't feel these assertions are supported by data.



tldr: Got any data to support the rant? I'll wait.

This is where you lost me. Why should men who are alive today have to compete with historical statistics? The women and minorities alive now should be given the chance to succeed, as should the white men. No one is "owed" a position based on their historical representation... you weren't alive then to be wronged. Neither should a group be penalized based on their historical representation, as they weren't alive to benefit from that "privilege."

- They feel young boys are not included in early education and socialization efforts as the focus is solely on empowering young girls and minorities
- They feel resentful that they are being told they are "bad" or "toxic" and being called "rapist"
- Women and minorities are hired for jobs and opportunities instead of them
- Media is taken over by women and Minorities
- Politics is taken over by special interest groups that does not necessarily favor their interests

Is this a larger intellectual movement or not?

I am a white male job hunting and there are now Diversity and Inclusion recruiters. The jobs are not posted and they only reach out to women and minority women is a double plus.

Job is no posted anywhere, and recruiters are told no white makes.

Annoying as I see women and such post up on LinkedIn they got a new job that I should have at least interviewed for.

And whites women are now being stigmatized. But preferred also being given, gbkt, vets, etc

A middle aged straight white male who is not a veteran can’t find work. In fact can’t even see the jobs as not posted.

Also it starts in 11 grade as a white male can’t even get into a good college

You are grouping all white men together unfairly. The pp did not do the same. You are the one flinging stereotypes here and that's flat out wrong.

53.7% of students at Yale are white. Are they all women or is Yale not a "good college"?
