The media needs to stop talking about old issues and discrimination against blacks. Those are things of the past and no longer impact us. As a working age adult, we have grown up in a culture of title 9 and affirmative action. These policies help women and blacks, respectively, while harming men and whites.

When talking about injustices, the focus should be on whites and men who have been harmed enormously by these policies. Blacks, on average, have greatly benefited from decades of policy, black men to a lesser extent, however. Women, even white women, have also benefited greatly.

The two biggest social problems we face today are sexism against men and racism towards whites.

The two biggest?!? Uhm, no. Not even close. The biggest problem is that we still haven't learned to see how the world looks or how it operates like in the shoes of a person of a different demographic group. I do agree white males experience and are impacted by sexism and racism and that everyone unfairly dismisses the harm of that, but my friend, for you to say what you did shows you have no clue to the challenges others face.
