If most of us stand back and take an objective view, we can see that a lot of what is happening to the white middle-class is self -inflicted. Sure, the Gub'mint has sped things up, but we as a class have done a lousy job of raising our children - why is their focus off of church and service-to-others and onto self and entertainment?
Addicted to pornography and video games, our young men have not grown up into adults and our young women cannot find mates that have jobs and a family focus.
Go ahead and shoot the messenger, but that doesn't make our plight any less real.
Gosh, what white middle-class people are you hanging out with? My street is loaded with them and they’re decent people!
Wow. Your post may be totally hatefully BS but beautifully written non the less.
I notice that your post received some negative responses. But I have to agree with you, especially, “...our young men have not grown up into adults and our young women cannot find mates that have jobs and a family focus.”
There are exceptions, of course, but young people who have fundamental goodness and maturity are much harder to find than they would have been a couple decades ago.
Our very middle-class church recognized our ten high school graduates yesterday in morning service. Out of the ten, one seemed to be a focused high achiever, presented himself well, completed his two years of community college while he was in high school, and has a specific goal for his life. The one who wants to be a preacher listed his passions as Worldwide Wrestling and video games. (God help us!) The others generally are aimless.
I know they’re young and many changes can occur over time, but I wasn’t impressed. (Never had kids, so maybe I just don’t get it. I admit that.)
The message is fallacious
Dealing with women has for many been found to be a road to nowhere. Until women relearn there real place in society, there will be deterioration
You may enjoy digging through that pile of horse manure looking for the pony, but I'll pass.
See post 62.

Unquote.
Well aren’t you the white knight...its all the men’s fault. I expect the church you belong to is pretty much says the same thing.
Hint: you and your mentality are a lot of the problem. If you care to know how, or have the guts to hear why, just ask.
Video games and pornography were booming in 1981, but that didn't stop Reagan's economic boom.
Yeah, it's video games fault. It has nothing to do with GATT putting the working class in direct competition with billions of third worlders who will do unskilled labor for pennies a day, or the tens of millions of low skill immigrants who've been allowed to glut the labor market.
Video games and pornography. And backward satanic messages in heavy metal music. That's it.
