Straight White Guys Are Terrible
American Spectator ^ | May 15, 2014 | Ross Kaminsky

Posted on 05/16/2014 2:55:15 PM PDT by rickmichaels

Somehow I’ve managed to get through more than 40 years of life as a heterosexual white male without feeling guilty about it and without thinking that it made me impervious to empathy for others.

But based on the full-court press from a part of the American left who are so morally relativist, identity-oriented, and apparently angry (at me, and they don’t even know me) that they make ordinary “political correctness” look almost rational, my lack of guilty conscience represents an absence of self-awareness created by my societal “privilege.”

Stephen Parkhurst, whose viral video last year of Millennials apologizing left one wondering whether his message is one of parody or whether he is intending a serious critique, recently produced a new video entitled “White Guys: We Suck and We’re Sorry.”

Can I speak bluntly? Please?

I'm retired military, actually a disabled vet. No hero but I did my time and paid the price of freedom of another generation.

I've raised my children and am now helping with my grandchildren. I still get up every morning and go to work so the food house and medical all gets paid form

I treat all those around me with respect and give my time and money back to those who are less fortunate than I am.

I pay my taxes on time every year without cheating.

Those are the things this straight white male dose and has done.

If for some reason think you have something to bitch and complain about pleases do it someplace else. I simply do not want to listen to you any more.

I've done the things I was supposed to in life, mainly worked for every thing I have.

If you do not like not having things or money, STFU and go to work. That is how the rest of us got those things.

Here is the pull quote:

This is not your father’s “political correctness”; it is not just about changing how people speak, nor even about the “Thought Police.” It is not harmless mental masturbation by over-pampered narcissistic 20-somethings.

Rather, it is about using discord and division, jealousy and shaming, to create a rationale for government interference, manipulation, and “legalized plunder” on a scale that will make eight years of Barack Obama look like the good old days.

That is exactly what just being set up by the political class and the global commercial/financial elite. The goal is to crush white middle class , a group seen as the single biggest impediment to the successful integration of the US into the ‘borderless world global governance ‘ regime.

“Straight White Guys Are Terrible”

Crooked white guys wind up either contributing to or elected as Democrats.

“I wonder how many of the great works of art, literature, science, architecture and medicine were made by straight white males?”

I know that peanut butter was not.

The “hate whitey” movement is pure gibberish being spoon-fed to the low information people by liberal socialists to divide Americans and destroy America from within.

Political Correctness and racism are trumped by patriotism and the America way. The Superman of my era would have said “F*ck You” to all the liberal socialists bastards out there.

Actually, I would like very much to meet a straight, white, conservative, single, Christian guy who likes to shoot and ride Harleys.

They seem to be very hard to find these days.

Not the folks I had in mind; however, that is sad but understandable given the lack of understanding that many Christians have. A Christian that studies and knows his faith should be the last one who is judgmental and legalistic. My suggestion is to not listen to what others say, but to seek after God through searching the scripture and prayer. We are promised that those who earnestly seek Him in spirit and truth will find Him. My prayer is that you embark on that search. You will not be disappointed. May God bless you.

I don’t take marching orders from indoctrinated morons in my faith either. Properly done, the search is often, in part, a highly intellectual process from my experience
