(CNN) -- They marched on Washington to reclaim civil rights.
They complained of voter intimidation at the polls.
They called for ethnic studies programs to promote racial pride.
They are, some say, the new face of racial oppression in this nation -- and their faces are white.
"We went from being a privileged group to all of a sudden becoming whites, the new victims,'' says Charles Gallagher, a sociologist at La Salle University in Pennsylvania who researches white racial attitudes and was baffled to find that whites see themselves as a minority.

Let's make a list of all the groups who are legally discriminated against in America.

Hmm, let's see...


1. white males

2.

Please. White males are still just as large and in-charge as they've traditionally been. They haven't lost an iota of power. Hell, they're even more powerful than ever if anything.

No one with an ounce of common sense is gonna believe that "the man" is holding the white male down. It's laughable on it's face.

white males cant be oppressed if they have the power. government in america is still vast majority white.

if anything, its whites holding themselves back and whites only have themselves to blame if they cant find a job.

whites enacted the policies for whites to be whining about them now, so why dont they look in the mirror and see who is to blame.

it is themselves.

There aren't many black people around who are honest enough to admit that this notion is or even could be true, when black people admit that whites may actually be racially oppressed they give up the crutch they've been using for a couple hundred years.
