White men are now the Democratic Party's punching bag
Flipboard ^

Posted on 10/30/2018 1:28:00 PM PDT by Cubs Fan

As you’ve probably noticed, bashing straight white men, especially of the conservative kind, is very fashionable these days.

You seemingly can’t escape it — you switch on cable TV, or "The View", read The Washington Post or The New York Times, and see liberal pundits verbally attack white men for this or that.

It’s become often enough that it is seemingly now normal to just casually attack a broad group of the country’s citizens.

And sometimes race is inserted gratuitously even when it isn’t an issue, like during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings: the Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee were attacked as old white men

Besides, there is the strangeness in the spectacle of certain white people calling out certain other white people on their whiteness.

What gives? What is happening is that everyone’s id is now not just out in the open, it has gone berserk.

The left... talks with this broad-brush-strategy of portraying all Trump supporters as bigots, and white men (and white women) as the villains of both history and contemporary politics.

Today’s Democratic Party is predicated on having and expressing open hostility toward white citizens. They are making the dangerous bet that most minorities and immigrants will jump on the white-male-bashing bandwagon.

Abrams in GA has a number of commercials running with a majority of white women....very few white males.

Her message is clear.

"TV commercials are definitely excluding white men."

I get catalogs in the mail from Pier 1, and although I rarely if ever see black people in Pier 1, the models in the ads are now about 50/50 black and white, including black males. I haven't seen any white males in recent catalogs, if ever, and I don't think I have never seen a black male in a Pier 1 store.

As for TV ads, the pandering to blacks is self-evident: there are about 30-40% blacks (or more) in some ads, and they all live in upscale neighborhoods and drive upscale cars.

White males, when they appear at all, are often portrayed as clueless or goofy, and need to have things explained to them by their wives or children. If it is a white male doing a voice-over, the voice is increasingly namby-pamby in tone (Honda and Subaru are among the worst).

One of the most pathetic ads is - I think - for Discover cards, and depicts two young Asian females talking jive and doing black-style dance moves.

Dems and the left are ALWAYS about balkanizing the populace... its easer to acquire power over a divided populace than a united one.

Yep. Social engineering. It’s the liberal / Democrat way.

I watched some HGTV, off and on, for a bit. The last year or two they have pushed up the social engineering. They have a particular fondness for gays and lesbians.

I rarely watch anymore. Got sick of it.

"They see whites as the privileged haves . . . "

Up to a point; they detest and mock any whites who are in the bottom half of the social hierarchy. The attitude seems to be, "If you are white and still couldn't make it, screw you, you undeserving moron. We'll bring in more immigrants to further shame you and show you how repulsive and worthless you are. Your day is over! Ha ha!"

I avoid Cheerios for their hip-hop / rap garbage. I avoid it, most of the time (unless it’s a ridiculous sale and that’s rare). I did get one box recently because it was $1.49 (short term prep).

The shame of it is, they had an “a capella” black group. It was the best commercial of the bunch and they only ran it a short time.

For similar reasons, I have not bought a single Kit-Kat since they went with Chance the Rapper. It showed the pathetic mom having her kid look up to this guy.

Somebody posted some of his “lyrics” once. I shan’t, but you can probable guess what it was like.

“TV commercials are definitely excluding white men.”

We are older and wiser and spend our money carefully. We are not the type of people advertisers most desire.

We have President Donald Trump to thank for much of our current incivility. Three years ago, Trump came down that escalator and attacked Mexican migrants as rapists and criminals. And since then, his signature strength or weakness — depending on who you’re speaking to — is his frank, off-the-cuff, flagrantly non-politically-correct way of talking about issues.

The left has responded with a if-you-can’t-beat-him-join-him approach. So it too talks with this broad-brush-strategy of portraying all Trump supporters as bigots, and white men (and white women) as the villains of both history and contemporary politics

Author manages to get it completely backwards... The divisive "tone" is entirely of the left's making.

White men have been scorned by the dems for years. dems blame White men for every problem in the world. They call all White men racist.

No sane White man should ever vote democrat.

Funny thing is no one in the Democratic or Republican Party would exist if it wasn’t for white males, and white females too.

Whites can stop this but only if they stop running away from race.

Does that include white man Joe Biden, or white man Al Gore, or white man Chucky Schumer?

A man voting Democrat is like a Jew voting for a fascist party.

White men are being replaced.

No white men need apply in higher gov jobs or industry. If you somehow succeed, you’ll be constantly accused of some crime until you resign or are arrested. (Trump, Kav, etc.)

However, You CAN go die in Iraq, Afghanistan or some other shithole, that is allowed.

But please leave the Ivy league to the women, minorities and foreigners.
