A glimpse of America’s near future.
Not to be racist, but can anyone tell me of a country headed by a black that is well run? I was asked that question, and couldn’t answer. Surely there is one?
Things are working out exactly as planned
This is probably a peek at the future of the US as well.
Underachievement is an equal opportunity unemployer.
If you’ve ever read any of Theodore Dalrymple’s columns you wouldn’t be surprised. It’s the inevitable combination of three decades of welfare culture, out-of-control political correctness and the Labor Party’s control of public education.
I’m sure there is a “War Against Boys” angle there too. But liberalism in Britain has created a huge, dysfunctional, violent, drunken, unemployable “Oi!” culture in what used to be called “working-class” whites.
I agree. Why should the white kids do anything when they see everything given to the muslims?
Why does this article go out of its way not to mention the college attendance rate for young white male from middle can upper class families?
Also, lower class white men constitute how much of the total population? Lower class white women? How about the lower class white women college attendance rate?
Wonder what the percentages are here in America...

Younger generations from many of Britain's minority ethnic groups are succeeding in breaking through the class barrier. Educational achievements have helped children of working-class parents in the Caribbean, African, Indian and Chinese communities to obtain managerial and professional jobs at a faster rate than their white counterparts, according to research for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
But the study, based on surveys tracing children's progress over 30 years, finds that young people from the Pakistani community are an exception. Although their parents are heavily concentrated in the working class, they show less upward mobility than children from white manual workers' families. Bangladeshis are similarly disadvantaged but unlike young Pakistanis, this can be more readily explained by education and other characteristics of their backgrounds.
Lucinda Platt, a Lecturer in the Sociology Department at the University of Essex, analysed data from the Office for National Statistics Longitudinal Study on 140,000 children who grew up between the 1960s and the 1980s. Her research showed that family background and class had an important influence on later employment: children whose parents were in the managerial or professional classes were more likely to end up in higher-status jobs, even after account was taken of differences in educational achievement. Coming from a more advantaged background also tended to reduce their chances of unemployment.
An expansion in professional and managerial occupations over the past 30 years has created more 'room at the top', giving rise to an increase in upward mobility. Even so, a comparison between children whose parents were born overseas and white children of parents born in the UK showed young people from many minority ethnic groups were making disproportionate progress.
"There is good news to the extent that a disproportionate number of the young people who are upwardly mobile are the children of parents who came to this country as migrants. But their welcome progress is no cause for complacency – especially when it appears to be so much harder for young people from Pakistani or Bangladeshi families to get ahead. We need to do much more to understand why this is happening and the extent to which factors such as racial discrimination are involved."
Nevertheless, you still have populations in places like Northeast Philadelphia and upstate New York where the grandparents/parents didn't have such an attitude and instead said things like "forget college, you can always get a job at the plant/mill." Among these people, you already see the emergence of a white underclass. These are the girls you see selling themselves to buy smack under the Frankford Avenue El in northeast Philly, or the guys stealing copper fixtures in Buffalo for money.
If you have a specialized skill (even without a college degree) than you are OK. If you went through life thinking that an unskilled job would be provided for you, or, if that failed, the city would pay you $50,000 a year to operate an elevator, than you are out of luck.
What - you thought all these activists protesting discrimination all those years really wanted “equality”?
There's a clue. Eligibility for "free school meals" indicates parentage that didn't do well enough in school to economically prosper. The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Perhaps this specific group isn't particularly bright. How are the white males who don't qualify for free school meals doing in comparison?
Reading articles about the UK has become watching a train wreck in super slow motion. The train has hit something and the cars are starting to oh so slowly fly off the track in all directions.
I have seen a lot of this over here in the U.S. too. I have been hearing about the “angry White male” for almost 15 years now. Because of this, I can’t blame them, or generally Whites, for being angry because of being bashed all the time. Trouble is that if you object to this treatment, you’ll end up sounding like somebody from Stormfront which isn’t true. All I can add is the old saying from Yoda is true, “fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to more suffering.” In the 1990’s and early 200x, we had the fear stage where some or many people kept their mouths shut and true feeling hidden but I think we are at the anger stage now.
One of the least masculine things is excuse making.
