Such privileged whining....*sigh* try being a muslim or arab and see how that feels. See how unfair you get treated and how many side eyes you get.

Just somethin' to think about.
Must have read the book written by the NAACP. Now whites are whining and minorities don't like it, Huhn?? Too bad, so sad.

White Women are the most entitled "privileged" group in society....Yet they lump themselves in as if they have shared the experienced of Black and Arab Men....LOL....It is true that Women historically haven't had the same rights as Men, but they also haven't had even remotely as many responsibilities/hard ships as men have had throughout human history (I don't recall Women crawling on the beaches during DDay getting mowed down by machine gun fire) so it's a trade off....Kind of like a Captive Polar Bear vs a Wild Polar Bear.....The Captive Polar Bear doesn't have as much freedom as the Wild Polar Bear does, but which Bear has the easier life??? The Captive one by far.

Black Men in the US on the other hand have gotten a raw deal historically....They historically haven't had the same rights as White Men, yet they have still had just as many hardships/responsibilities as White Men have had (Black Men were over represented in terms of causalities in Vietnam/WW2/The Iraq War...etc)

My Uncle served with many Black Americans in the Vietnam war and he was very impressed with their bravery and skill in combat...

As for Gays....I think in most places they are at absolutely no disadvantage compared to Heteros (hell they may even have an edge over Heteros in some places)
Funny my Nam vet hubby told me they were the laziest of his unit. Of course we aren't PC people.

This post reminds me of the time I literally stopped my husband from talking to a kid because of all that BS. He was just being his normal kind self but I knew that was a no-no nowadays. My hubby was oblivious to the changes of society.

Your self pity about being a member of the most powerful racial-gender group in the nation is unseemly.

I don't think he'll do that, nor does he want to.
