I think if you're white, married, a father, and even slightly religious, or worse "conservative"... then you are totally screwed. That's how far we've progressed.

What is the war on white people? Did I miss it last time I got followed around the store needlessly?

Don't blame your failures on society or the government. There are plenty of rich white married conservatives.

Lumping in the Tea Party with the KKK and Aryan Nation is a true statement? Really?

TEA stands for Taxed Enough Already, and has nothing to do with skin color. That's a progressive fairytale perpetuated to counter the rising dissatisfaction with the nanny state.

Black tea party members dispute racist claims - politics - More politics | NBC News

Black tea party members are discounted, harassed, and labeled Uncle Toms, by those who are calling the tea party racists. Go Figure, Racists crying racism.

Thank you for showing a great example of why I'm correct in my assertions. According to you, being white, married, a father, religious, conservative, are failures.

No wonder this country is screwed.

If there's one group of people in America that have it rough, it is definitely white people.

Oh please... If people want women to pay for their BC they are at war with women. If people want secure borders they are at war with immigrants.

There is a war on the middle class.

There is a war on religion.

There is a war on conservative thinking (see IRS)

There is a war on white heterosexual males. (They're all homophobes after all)


Objecting to anything, NOT on the progressive menu, means they are at war with it. I'm a white-black Hispanic mutt, and even I can see these things to be true.

If poverty is a benchmark, then yes they do have it rough. White poor outnumber all other races combined 3-1.

Of course there are more white people in poverty than other groups, that's because there are a lot more white people. What are the percentages?
