I opened my Sunday paper this morning and found an advertisement by Washington State University, The talk is sponsored by the Office of the Provost, Robert C. Bates, and Office of the Vice President for Equality and Diversity, Michael J. Tate. The advertisement promoted talks by Allan Johnson entitled, "Can't we all Just Get Along. Unraveling the Knot of Privilege, Power, and Difference" The ad presents Johnson's goals for the talks, "As a white male, he is especially concerned with reaching men and whites who may feel so uncomfortable with issues of privilege that they won't even talk about them.
As I read the advertisement I remembered the "privileged" white MEN who died by the dozen in Virginia coal mines last month. I recalled the white fisherMEN who died this week when their fishing boat sank off the Oregon coast. I remembered the white man who was beaten to death in the jail by the Spokane County blue gun thugs after being arrested for being behind in his "child support" payments. I recalled that the American education system has become so hurtful to boys in K-12 schools that millions of boys are not getting a decent education and their suicide rates have skyrocketed while millions more are drugged daily with Ritalin. I recalled the privileges of white MEN to work hard 8 to 12 hours a day providing for our families while bigoted idiots like Johnson hurl insults at us. I wonder if, in Johnson's sexist excuse for a mind, "privilege" means the half million white men now incarcerated in debtor's prisons for falling behind in their indentured servitude (slavery) payments now euphemistically called "absentee child support?" I wondered if his twisted notion of "privilege" includes the men who suffer over 90% of job related fatalities, or the boys who endure more than twice as much child abuse as girls.
Checking through the WSU web site I found the Department of Women's Studies featured prominently, complete with scholarships and career guidance on it's web site. The "privileged" MEN at WSU have no similar department. A search of the WSU web site's search function found 57,900 listings for "women" while less than half that many, 26,800, for "men." Yet WSU does have the funding to send speakers on tour attempting to "reach" MEN, to further understanding of our power and privilege. It is feminized rats as Johnson who think they can get laid by kowtowing to the feminazi war on men. How wrong they are. Even men hating feminazi won't screw whiny wimps like him.
Anti-white racism and anti-men sexism is always just hate and hate is always wrong. This talk is unfortunate, in this decade while females have taken over our colleges and universities in ever-increasing numbers. As a citizen, taxpayer, and voter I demand that they end racism and sexism paid for and supported by the citizens of this state. Bates and Tate ought to be fired along with their entire staffs, and replaced by decent non-racist, non-sexist staff. Johnson and other whiny feminized turds like him just need to be flushed.

ReplyDeleteYou go boy! Precisely saying what must(according to the PC police) remain unsaid.
The Geezer
We hear regularly about how privileged white males are. But I have yet to hear anyone define exactly in which areas this privilege is supposed to exist.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone enlighten us?
I agree with your viewpoint. A predominant discrimination against people just because they are white and/or male is simple unjustified. I'm not a big fan of affirmative action and feel that anything that goes against the principles of merit ought to be wrong.

hey bob, name one woman on earth that you DO like. you seem entirely negative.
ReplyDeleteParmenter - it's pretty obvious that most of the extreme wealth and power is held by white males. Always has been in western culture.
ReplyDeleteHow many Black Donald Trumps are there? While there are some Minority or females with fame and wealth, they are clearly the exception. (Tiger Woods, OJ, Winfrey)
Drive through any poor neighborhood. What color are the inhabitants?
Who stands out freezing in the cold, waiting for the bus to go work in the hospital scrubbing up vomit all day? Generally, Blacks and Hispanics.
Who drives up in a plush limosine and "works" only 3 hrs per day, amassing a fortune of hundreds of millions? Rush Limbaugh
Who shed their blood in all our major wars, doing the grunt work, suffering the most? Minority men plus whites with less money, less power.
Who wiggled out of military service because he had a cyst on his buttock? Rush Limbaugh
Who lives in poverty because he descended from slaves who were constantly whipped, lashed, branded, cursed at, sold like animals? Blacks
Which race suffers disproportionately the evil effects of slavery's atrocities -- diabetes, sickle cell anemia, malnutrition, dental disease, hypertension, propensity to depression, addiction? Blacks
Who was told they could not be served in a restaurant because of race? Blacks (including Black soldiers returning from World War II, to our eternal White shame). Not until the horrible Civil Rights Act stopped that injustice, were Blacks treated with any dignity.
Who took it for granted that they could sit their fat butts down and be served gourmet meals at Ruth Chris Steakhouse or the Gold Room of the Ritz? Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Bob Grant, Donald Trump and their Royal-ilk.
Who sits in on those Board Meetings in swank high rises on Wall Street? Mostly WHITE males in 3-piece suits that drive Mercedes and send their WHITE kids to Exeter and Harvard. And travel to Paris in jets and sail their yachts in the Aegean? Yep - rich WHITE men. Not too many Blacks can do that, some maybe - not many.
Who cleaned the urinals in the World Trade Center? Black men.
Who got blown up in the World Trade Center? Men, women, children, Black, White, rich and poor -- we are equal in death.
Heh. Rich Zubaty recently quipped that the Democratic party cannot tell the difference between white men and RICH white men. As you can see, many people in academia also fail to make the distinction.
ReplyDeleteThink of today's feminism as the neglected daughter of yesterday's racism. It is nothing but females acting like white supremacists. They took yesterday's stereotypes against black men, took the word "black" off and generalized it to apply to half of the globe. To them, like the D.I. in Full Metal Jacket, all men are "equally worthless".
ReplyDeleteThe Anonymous that said "most of the extreme wealth and power is held by white males." is committing the Frontman Fallacy. All he or she sees is their sex and the color of their skin. That's practically the definition of sexism and racism.
ReplyDeleteWhy should white men (not "males") like Bob and me care if DOnald Trump or Ted Kennedy or Bill Clinton is also white? Or also male? Those people don't do a damned thing for white men like us and they never will.
It's just people like you who think it's all about having the same sex or skin color.

ReplyDeleteMost of the wealth in the USA is held by females, most of whom inherrited it after their fathers or former husbands died. For example, 5 of the riches people in the USA are the daughters of Sam Wal. There are many rich widows and daughters like the Heinz bitch whom Jiggalo Kerry married. Overall about 85% of wealth in the USA is held by females, according to data that I've read. Blaming "white men" for all the wealth and power is another misandrist sexist hate mongering lie. The feminazi are good at hate propaganda lies.
