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.”

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

Notice I left out decorating.

The "hate whitey" movement reminds me of this classic Monty Python skit...

What have the Romans done for us?

If the left had their way there would be no polio vaccine, no moon landings, no great works or art or music. There would be nothing but a quivering pool of self loathing dying short miserable lives in the dark ages.

Every morning I have to look in the mirror and see the same straight white guy looking back at me. I think I’m oppressed.

Odd that these characters don’t refer to them as normal — which how normal guys would refer to themselves.

I will NEVER take marching orders from, or base my “feelings” on, the demands of morons who have been indoctrinated and are told at every turn what they should think.

I'd like to see what the government would do if they didn't have straight white guy's money.

Something like 70% of taxes are paid by white guys.

They're carrying the load and still get shat on.

I love straight white males - one in particular of course, but all the rest by extension. Hang in there and deafen your ears to the idiocy out there.

I really don't know exactly how I'll react to the first person who tells me to my face that I'm privileged because of my skin color.

But I know exactly what I will do to them if they try to act on that assertion.
