“Being incessantly ridiculed in the media while being lectured that it is deserved, and losing a job and/or wages due to mass immigration can dampen one’s spirits, no?”
“I don’t think whites do too well in captivity.”
Everyone I know, black, white, brown, yellow or what ever are strong enough to handle media criticism or mass immigration without resorting to killing themselves.
Maybe there are people out their are weak, but I doubt they are that weak. We are Americans, we have handled wars, and economic collapse, I think we can handle a skit on Saturday Night Live without blowing our brains out.
Sadly, I’m too busy missing the funerals of friends. Sigh.
The test scores are dropping because what’s being taught, how it’s being taught, and how it’s graded is purposely hindering the white middle class student (lower middle class, middle middle class and upper middle class students).
Take God out of people's lives and you soon find they no longer have lives.

Depression kills.
Being made the brunt of every joke is the MSM, treated like crap, run over if we are stupid enough to marry and then get tossed over, told our lives don’t matter, etc., of course we are dying off.
Why do you believe that white Americans are less able to handle economic hardship and jokes than people of other races?
I’m predicting a surge in mass self-destruction as the Baby Boomers age. Youth culture, euthanasia, moral bankruptcy — all this is contributing to a sort of nihilism.
The Boomers are the tip of the iceberg. Things will get worse with the Gen Xers & Millennials, who are even more amoral & narcissistic.

You are dense aren’t you. I see you joined about a month ago.
Simple. Transfat.
Also losing jobs they’re qualified for to women (who aren’t, not the ones who are), to other racial and ethnic minorities (who aren’t, not the ones who are), to illegals, to H1B visas, etc. It can get depressing.
The media (entertainment), education, and just about every other institution and aspect of life is constantly telling white males that they have no value.That they are the problem. Entertainment/Media, Education, etc. promote this view. Then we wonder why society is failing.
No, I just understand that no one I know is going to kill themselves because of media criticism.
I don’t think many white people get disability (without signing away their rights and all).
“by an epidemic of suicides and afflictions stemming from substance abuse: alcoholic liver disease and overdoses of heroin and prescription opioids.”
Drug abuse has destroyed us. It’s at the core of all our pathologies and how they came about and grew.
False premise.
We are more than capable. But we (esp. men and really esp. Christains) get a constant pounding, way beyond anyone else. And we are still expected to produce, provide for eveyone else, and suck it up.
Well, a lot of us have seen too many friends die or get screwed over. WE ARE ABOUT DONE.
Get it? If not, oh well.
The Boomers are the tip of the iceberg. Things will get worse with the Gen Xers & Millennials, who are even more amoral & narcissistic.
I think you have the right of it. The Greatest Generation, by being so successful, and by giving their children better lives than they themselves had, have actually done their children a disservice.
Austerity and hardship are what build character, and that is what has been so sadly lacking from so many of the baby boom generation. A more spoiled collection of self centered brats there have never been in this nation's history.
And you are right, the Millennials and Xers are going to do worse.
“Crystal meth is bad, bubba. M’kay?”
Yep.
Do you think any of the “dark” countries care about diversity and PC? Here we have to have a “diverse” workforce. How diverse is the workforce in India? Or China?
I think his point is perfectly valid. It's just a perspective from an older generation. Americans as wilting flowers is the latest "Pajama boy" attitude. We used to be made of sterner stuff.
Or functional societies.
Try being a white male in today’s society. Try getting a college scholarship for academics (or anything really) while white. It happens but it’s rare, or a lot more infrequent than it should be considering whites are still the majority. Everything about our education system is against white males. Everything except maybe the superstar athlete who also had to overcome being white.And male.
I’ve raised four daughters...academic and athletic...and two got full rides (tuition) for academics. They deserved it. The engineer also got the NSF scholarship when a white male wouldn’t have received it. She’s had job opportunities since graduating college 2 1/2 years ago that a white male wouldn’t have had.
I see it everyday how boys, white boys especially, are treated in our education system from kindergarten on. And it matters! It affects them!
And it’s pissing me off.
