The pendulum has swung.

When I was young, being white was an advantage, but the pendulum was just beginning to swing the other way. It picked up momentum, and when I was a young man, it seemed that equality was on the near horizon. Equality is ideal, and it’s what we should all strive to make happen.

I didn’t realize how widespread white guilt is in America. I also didn’t realize how racist the black race panderers could be. They have pushed the pendulum past center to the other side.

It is now a decided disadvantage to be a white male in America. A white male Christian? Forget about it. Anyone is free to offend me in any way. As for white males, even inadvertent slights to other groups can be costly.

I’m very sorry for what my sons will have to deal with, but the deck is stacked against them in the name of “equality”.

But it ain't "equality", is it?

I had a black guy try to explain to me when I was in college (early 70’s) that the pendulum had swinged so for to the whites in this country that it needed to swing way to the black side before it comes to a stop in the middle. I told him there was a big problem with his theory. A pendulum always swings back the other way.

I once made the mistake of joking with a coworker that the only way a middle aged, white, and male could become protected by diversity was to become gay.
He soon transitioned to “transgendered”.
(s)he later argued about diversity and protection of minorities with a black female.
“You don’t know what it is like to have society against you. How can you understand discrimination? Or being a minority?”
“If you look around, there are a whole lot more people who look like you than who look like me.”
Trangendered, still employed. Black female, no longer.

because many whites have grown weak and are feminized

or they are thugga imitators and their IQ does not even rise to such thoughts

I'm 50....and saw none of this coming. We wanted to help blacks.

We only made it worse. I don't need to be shown I was wrong but once.
