I would love to help them up and empower them as true men in a gracious Christian and American spirit. That cannot happen when the very sickness in their heart came from the nasty birds in their ear hating on women. So who do you want to believe?

Who authored and pushed this game? Who is playing a zero sum game where only one half of the species may survive/ thrive? It's dysfunctional huck. If no matter what I do I will be blamed for your misery, this is an abdication of your own manhood that I didn't talk you into. You allowed sycophants to have your ear above your wife, your daughter, your sister, and your mother.


True, they do need a divorce. They need their own country! Because men worshiping themselves are a nation unto themselves and the existence of real women ought to be abolished in their country. They can't handle the existence of womankind. Let them live in Alaska forever and ever. The rest of us have babies to keep fed and have no time to feed grown babies refusing to be adults. Renouncing true manhood. That isn't a request that ever came from feminists. It came from demented theologians in religious groups carrying on sleight of hand games as they ever have.
so its the birds? the birds did it? move to alaska? ok.

One thing I've noticed is discussions like this lead to groupthink and collectivism. Many here claim discrimination against whites because of past sins, I get grouped in with my ancestors and men who lived hundreds or thousands of years ago I had nothing to do with because of groupthink. Racism is collectivism. We need to stop judging people based on broad identifiers and start judging each person on their individual worth. There's no room for racism in an individualist society.

Lucky for me no one from the Orwellian nightmare can figure out why cars don't run right.

Anyone who thinks Whites more discrimination than other groups, really needs to lay off the crack pipe.

Good point. More poor and middle-class White males need to be taught the utility of technical schools and trades, as the deck is stacked against them in our liberal education system. They also must be taught not to check the "Caucasian" box on any application. Same goes for Asians.

As a straight, white man, I feel blessed that I was born this way.

Just being white gives one an advantage.

Being a man doubles that advantage.

There are absolutely no insults that can be thrown at a white guy that can hurt as much as a black person being called the "N" word or a woman being called the "C" word or a gay person being called the "F" word.

White people in general are more trusted up front more than others.

Finally - a straight, white man who speaks the truth as it is.

Nice refutation! Do you have any coherent, intelligent points to make or are you incapable of logic and reason?

I'm not sure if White males face more discrimination than other groups, but they are the only group that faces institutionalized racism at the hands of this government.

If they do, I don't see it but maybe some of them do and if they are, they're being discriminated mostly because of white women (job and promotions). At least not at my corporate job.

1. How does it give one an advantage? Have you ever met poor whites in Alabama, Arkansas, or West Virginia? Or are you under the impression that all White people are upper class hipsters?

2. True. But the government does not actively discriminate those groups.

3. White people don't seem commit crimes at rates that minorities (excluding Asians) do. Your boy Jesse Jackson had something to say about this a couple years back. (I'm assuming you are a self-loathing, guilt-ridden White liberal, which is why I figure Jesse is your boy. If I'm mistaken, I apologize.)
