The current media environment in the USA is to find a problem then blame a white guy.
A lot of white guys are now tending to react by saying FU, not our fault and this is becoming an automatic reflexive response, not a thinking one.
So you post a "white guy's fault" even though it is a 500 year dead white guy, and you get a reflexive automatic "not his fault" response.
Yeah it is idiotic, but that is the way it is. White guys have become irrationally and reflexively defensive.
I'll admit that we (white guys) are often reflexively defensive. I'm not too sure it's irrational, however. There are no other ethnic groups that seem as politically correct to bash. And God forbid that you are a wealthy, elderly white man...you know...the proverbial "evil white men in power"( a.k.a. "The Man").
Hey, that's the best reason I've ever heard for hanging around FreeRepublic. :') If people can't get enlightened here, there's no hope.
