Well it's hard to rise to the top when the people in charge have tied an anchor around your neck via laws they enact.

I wonder why some people who say that you should not judge a whole group of people by the behavior of some (okay, many) of its members, believe that it is okay to break this "rule" when it comes to old white men.

Hypocrisy raises its ugly head once again.


There WERE (and ARE) a great many PEOPLE of all ages, races and religions who have shown absolutely disgraceful behavior.......but apparently it only matters when it's old white men.

Most people who hold onto that worldview are older white men, though it isn't so exclusively.
Exactly!!

Old White Man here. Their comments are about politics. You do realize they are not talking about your father. Right?

Their comments are intended to demonize people solely because of their age and their race.

The real reason the left is angry is because their abusive corrupt grip on power has ended. They are furious they will not be able to continue using the organs of government in a corrupt and illegal fashion to further their radical, racist, hateful, aggressive Marxist agenda.

That's all this is about. Pure leftist rage.

Ah, yes, those unfair laws...don't steal, don't hurt people, don't trespass, etc.

So unfair.

Sure, because those are the only laws that have ever existed in this country.

How the **** is this filth tolerated today? How in the world could anyone let a vile creature like Joy Behar and like-minded creatures spew their HATE without challenge?
1. There are plenty of newly minted graduates of African-American Studies and Womens Studies over the past few years, none of whom are eager to become coffee-jockeys at Starbucks

2. There are spider webs of social justice groups funded by deep-pocketed elites who envision a world order different from that which is currently in place.

3. There are liberal politicians who depend on the dependency of women and minorities for their elections and re-elections.

4. Screaming SJW's (both minority and women) makes for good click-bait/TV ratings, which makes for more eyes on screens, which makes for more advertising dollars.

5. Ginning up race and gender division keeps the unwashed masses at each others throats. If we're directing our vitriol at our fellow citizens, we're not focused on the do-nothing, opportunistic, self-interested ignoramuses that we voted into office to represent us.

None of this happened organically. It's not just random hatred, random opportunism, or random rhetoric. There is a method to the madness. Follow the money. Follow the constant need to get power, stay in power, or regain power.
