What about Angry Black Man?
:Please excuse my writing skills. I am not a writer and I am not attempting to pass myself off as one. I just enjoy sharing my mind.:
There was a op-ed piece titled, “In election 2008, don’t forget Angry White Man”, written by Gary Hubbell, a columnist with the Aspen Times Weekly. In column Mr. Hubbell described the attributes of ‘The Angry White Man’, basically stating that the Angry White Man isn't being represented in this election period. Not that I totally disagree with this notion, but Mr. Hubbell alienates all of the Angry White Man’s fellow patriotic Americans - The Angry Man of Color and the Angry Woman.
I am an Angry Black Man so I will give my perspective to this piece, respectively.
Every minority group has preferential representation of some sort - homosexual or transsexual, Black to Latino (given that they are liberal), handicapped to season citizens, and yes, even the Angry White Man.
The Angry White Man is usually represented by his choice candidates, but feels a bit of bamboozling on the rise. He is upset that he is unappreciated and overlooked by the party that he has always supported. This election is forcing him to put some of his fundamental principals to the side for the sake of the country, but what he doesn’t understand is that he’s not alone.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with him is the Angry Black Man. A minority within a minority, the Angry Black Man is barely recognized or considered. His politics make him a leper within his own community. He battles with a love/hate relationship with his own people. Names like Uncle Tom, house Negro, and race traitor are not uncommon to the Angry Black Man. Labeled a traitor to his own people, he continues to champion individualism.
The Angry Black Man - white or blue collar worker - must always be 2 steps ahead of his white counterparts so as not to get labeled as the ‘Token Black’. He despises affirmative action and worked hard for all of his acclompishments. He suffers from racism in the work place but doesn't file million dollar lawsuits against his company. He is also the ‘go to man’ when his white coworkers ask condescending questions beginning with “Why do black people...”.
The Angry Black Man is law abiding citizen. He is frequently labeled a rat and a snitch when standing up against the criminal activity in his neighborhood. He owns a gun and won’t hesitate to use it in defense of himself and his family, but is very apprehensive on using it for fear of the liberal court system. He is very familiar with law enforcements abuse of power and is occasionally a victim of racial profiling.
Al Sharpton never stands up for the Angry Blackman. The Angry Black Man is considered the Judas of the new civil rights movement but was the main contributor to the old. He is quick to declare that the race hustler do not represent his views but his declaration usually falls on deaf ears because of the media’s liberal bias.
When the Angry Black Man rises in politics he is ridiculed - pelted with Oreo cookies while giving speeches - and is often not supported by like-minded voters simply because of his color. He is haunted by the victim-hood vendors because he decided not to carry their products, disparity and entitlement.
With all of these adverse entities working against his moralistic values and principals, he still finds the courage -through God - to stand besides his melanin deprived brethren who shares the same conservative beliefs, The Angry White Man.
So, the next time around, it might be a bit more fitting recognize all of the Angry Americans who share your beliefs, but may have a darker tint to their outer shell or inverted genitalia.
Just a thought, not a commandment.

Deffie!! hey sweetie. Hope that you’re well. We miss you, kiddo! Say hi to Cibby for me.
You're article BTW - nicely done!
I like the piece. Maybe we should stop the above statement right there though. We're Angry Americans and one thing we have in common is our anger at being marginalized and/or discriminated against for any reason. Any half-assed reason that is.
In my thirties I was denied raises because I was single and laid off for the same reason. I had more experience and did better work but my boss told me he had to give it to the married guy.
I guess I could have taken solace in the fact that he was paying more for a lesser carpenter but I didn't. I just wanted the job.
Like anybody is going to raise hell at the Republican convention. Sheep or People?
Hello Love, we are well. Hope you are as well. We miss you as well. Cibby says Hi.
there are alot of angry men out here (notice no color distinction).
What the left and media will never understand, is we do not stand up and wave “” Yoo hoo over here, I am an angry man,Yoo Hoo notice me, I am over here””
We just go about the process of our lives doing what needs to be done.
Asking only not to be bothered by libs,lefties,media or the govt/big brother.
When the above do bother one of us, is when we are noticed and vilified by the govt/MSM, as we fight back.Either physically or at the ballot box.
Excellent!
That needs to happen even MORE..
The party has been DATE RAPED... by McLaim..
Dear Jim......When the Black community fiugres out what the Democrats have done to their families, their education (keeps them locked in horrible non-teaching public schools...education is “white” ya know), their slum public housing....just the Plantation mentality in general, the smart ones will take REVENGE on the Liberals!!
No. Jews never received any special help and in fact were openly discriminated against until they went out and earned it for themselves.
Excellent and right on!!!!
Well said, Jim.
You are blessed with a wife that can beat the odds. Rock-on....:)
