That’s BS. You are condescending and insensitive and lack perspective. Get a grip.
It's completely true.
Entertaining their hostility is absurd. There are massive groups of people who have suffered real, and often violent discrimination and persecution.
The white men aren't being left behind. They just no longer get the world handed to them on a silver platter. Time for the angry toddlers to grow up and join the rest of society when they are willing.

A lot of these guys didn't even have the power, just felt that it was promised to them or somehow their due by virtue of being white men. That's why seeing a woman or minority get a job, any job, pisses them off. They start from an assumption that white men are the best qualified or most deserving, so if a woman or minority is hired the job was stolen from a white man.
Indeed! The "default" is that the white man is best + entitled. Any deviation from that premise is "affirmative action".

I am so done with NPR.
The part in bold is so true - and so very very tiresome about NPR. It’s just unlistenable now.
I mean, are they wrong? White people voted in that thing currently in the White House. Statistically we are the majority in this country still.
Yes whites are the vast majority, but the media is largely liberal. Many sheep are easily brainwashed. As for the current president he was running against a equally poor candidate or worse especially with Bill as VP. Biden will be a 1 term President because of his age, he is barely sputtering along which will be interesting to see who wins the next one. If he does poorly Trump could make a comeback.
Haha! Kamala will be president and once there is a woman president we will never give it back to men. Go make me a sandwich.
IMO, the world has been run by men, and it's not turned out so well. I do think they need to take a back seat for a while so women can fix it.
Yes,because Merkel has done a great job and is losing her party's control over the German govt. And Theresa May left in shame, lol. Argentina's female president presided over a ruinous economy, and Margaret Thatcher isn't like by liberals.
Now do dudes.

On the contrary, people have only good things to say about him so far. But, down the road, if he gets mistreated enough, he/or anyone can turn and resent/turn bad. There's so much a person can take before they have had enough.
What do you think has always happened to little black boys?? Then you don't have to speculate on the outcomes.

I can see white male anger being a thing. They keep moving away and people keep following to have quality of life and then complain. It seems like people only want to move and be where white people are. When people are frustrated in the USA they always say they are moving to even whiter countries and never anyplace else. Talk about a confusing message.

Most white men historically were quite oppressed. They were called peasants. Or workers in a capitalist system. They had few rights or privileges. But it is true that in all societies men did dominate over women, regardless of race or region. But in the context of this thread I imagine that is a different issue.
The double standard that is emerging in today's woke climate and out of the ignorance of the badly educated woke people is the treatment of whites as a monolithic bloc, reducing everything into neat binaries when history is far more complicated and messy. Not only is it shockingly ignorant of history, it is also shockingly ignorant of the global context. But I am not surprised. Vested interests have a powerful motive in rewriting history to suit their grievances and to provide legitimacy to their causes, which otherwise have little historical merit.
Yes. +1.
