The issue isn't about power shifts. It is about how the media mocks white men as stupid.

As a white woman I find this insulting. If I were a white man, I would find it über insulting

I will preface that I am not offended, but how about every commercial where the black guy is the smart one and the white guy is the bumbling fool? Or, how about when the media wants to show a mixed couple, so they show a black guy with an Asian girl.....why not an Asian guy with a white girl or black girl. I crack up and think, "what kind of idiots are making these commercials?".

Default The Democrat's War on White Men

Articles: Target: Old White Men
While modern society prides itself on being unbiased, it's no exception to the rule that every age has its fashionable prejudices -- and unfashionable people. Among the latter today are white men, and the closer they are to "dead white male" status, to use a favored leftist descriptive, the greater the disdain in which they're held.

Thus do we see sneering at "old white men." Earlier this year, Senator Harry Reid -- one well acquainted through experience with old-white-male machinations -- complained of "angry old white men" who bankroll conservative causes. More recently, the old-white-media paper the Guardian published a piece about America's changing demographics titled, in part, "No country for angry old white men...." Ah, yes, it's not just that they're old, white, and men, that Triad of Turpitude. They're "angry," too. So just dismiss them out of hand, with their agenda born of blinding, irrational hatred. It's another example of projection, from the group (leftists) that makes intellect-clouding emotionalism an art.
I'm an old white guy.

And I'm angry, too.

Angry for all those years I voted for and supported the GOP only to see them drive America into the ditch. And then try to shift the blame and follow that up with blocking all attempts at recovery.


I'm wiser than that now.

The Dems don't scare me.

J.A. Rodgers wrote an insightful book titled "From Superman to Man" in 1917. It deals with a Southern, powerful, upper class White man and how he comes to terms with his superman status as it is slowly being redefined as just "man." The book although fiction, is a Harlem Renaissance classic and I doubt that the author thought that wealthy, white, Southern men would still be coming to terms with their new status nearly 100 years after he wrote the book.

Some Americans will try to cling white knuckled to the notion of superiority as if they let go they will fall into an abyss.
Men over Women, White over people of color, Wealthy over the working class, Blue Blood over the mongrel, Evangelical over the Heathen, educated over the ignorant. Obama's tenure is attacking all of the long held notions of superiority not just White men.

Lol, Hey, Harry Reid a rich old white man hates old rich white men. The democratic party dominated in its leadership by old rich white men hates white men. Conservatives are liars.

As far as TV the dumb white guys on comedies tend to make more money than the gals depicting their smart wives.

The only thing I ask for as a white guy is equal protection under the law.

I'm a 48-year-old white man, and I don't feel attacked by the Democrats at all.

Maybe I'm not old enough.
