The more I think about, the more I get it, and have to ask all the Social Justice Warriors this question:
Why is it ok and good to appeal to black voters, women voters, Hispanic voters, GBLT voters, but racist to appeal to white voters?
Doesn't that remind you of Sesame Street's one of these things is not like the other?
Through no fault of my own, I was born a white male. And as I grew to manhood, I was attracted to females, not other males, I don't know why, I just was, and my heart had a place for this entity I called God, and I liked to worship and pray to Him, and was attracted to a Church, and believe in the redemption of Jesus. Is any of that wrong?
Well, silly me, of course it is! According to YOU!
I should CHECK MY PRIVILEGE at the door!
Funny how my privilege got me to where I am today, semi-employed when my position was cut to part time, how I've had to worry about the bills every month, and whether I could get this puny contract or another, month by month... Having to worry about if I bid too high, and is there anybody else out there with skills like mine who is willing to take less???
Why isn't my white, male, heterosexual, Christian, ableist privilege WORKING anymore?!
I guess now I become one of the massive numbers of the privileged who is DAMN well going to allow a politician to pander to my whiteness, just like others pander to all the other minorities in this country.
And I really, really hope it sucks to be you.
LOL, I thought that was directed at me. In South Africa now, even through 80% black, they still have Affirmative Action for blacks. And with that, thousands of whites that had good jobs have been kicked out of them. Pretty amazing - they are protecting 80% of the population from 10% of the population...it never goes away.
Sorry for your situation, it’s despicable that it has to happen in this country.
