[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I are both white, but it does drive me crazy that he doesn't or won't acknowledge systematic sexism and misogyny. He loves to play the devil's advocate on something like the lack of interesting roles for women in film, for example. It gets old. I think it stems from feeling defensive about being a privileged straight white guy in general. I'm not one of those guys so this doesn't really happen. It's annoying and diminishes my opinion of him, honestly.  [/quote]

"Straight white males" are the people who built every institution in this country, as well as your father, husband and any brothers you have.  Start appreciating your husband and stop bothering him about worthless crap.[/quote]
You mean how they built everything by using slaves to actually do the building, sharecroppers to farm, denied women and black folks the right to vote and participate in the political process?
Yep, the white man can have credit for all of that ignorance.[/quote]

Anyone can pick cotton.  European men created civilizations and empires.  But that's ok.  Africans have created many great nations of their own.  I'll let other commenters name them...[/quote]

Aksum.
Ghana.
Mali.
Songhai.
Ethiopia/Abyssinia.
Mossi.
Benin.
Egypt.

To name a few.
