Target: Old White Men
American Thinker ^ | November 29, 2012 | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 11/29/2012 10:53:18 PM PST by neverdem

While modern society prides itself on being unbiased, it's no exception to the rule that every age has its fashionable prejudices -- and unfashionable people. Among the latter today are white men, and the closer they are to "dead white male" status, to use a favored leftist descriptive, the greater the disdain in which they're held.

Thus do we see sneering at "old white men." Earlier this year, Senator Harry Reid -- one well acquainted through experience with old-white-male machinations -- complained of "angry old white men" who bankroll conservative causes. More recently, the old-white-media paper the Guardian published a piece about America's changing demographics titled, in part, "No country for angry old white men...." Ah, yes, it's not just that they're old, white, and men, that Triad of Turpitude. They're "angry," too. So just dismiss them out of hand, with their agenda born of blinding, irrational hatred. It's another example of projection, from the group (leftists) that makes intellect-clouding emotionalism an art.

If we're to define matters based on group identification, however -- and the left makes clear we will -- there is an irony here.

You could roughly say that old white men built the whole modern world.

You can precisely say this if you include in the category the budding old white men known as younger...

--snip--

Roman philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero once said, "To be ignorant of the past is to be forever a child. For what is the time of a man, except it be interwoven with that memory of ancient things of a superior age?" Demonizing white men old or dead keeps the young and alive disconnected from them and hence from the past. This gives us a civilization of children, just the kind of people a pied piper can lead.

....on top of that, as long as [Progs] can dupe white women into going their way.....

And now you see the significance of "feminism" .... which is really "divide white America"-ism.

Betty Friedan spent her young womanhood as a writer/propagandist for the newspaper of the Communist Electricians' Union. You won't find that in (Prog-sanitized) Wikipedia, but just metasearch on "Betty Friedan" +Communist and see what you get.

Look at it this way, too. Imagine an ethnic pie-chart of US society. Mark out the ethnoi, and leave the Caucasian European-Americans white. Now divide it in two, and mark one-half with the Venus symbol, and the other half with the Mars symbol. NOW do you see the significance of "feminism"?

Feminism was always a bad beef, a big bucket of puke and b.s. -- but it was never intended to be actually true, it was always, but always, operational truth intended to motivate American women to turn against male society and bitch, bitch, bitch!

They didn't have to become Communists. All they had to do was push a beef -- or beeves -- to divide the country, to put the whole thing into play.

It's so cynical I want to puke. And society honors that woman!

It’s not just “old white men” it’s all white men. Notice on TV, commercials repeatedly cast the white man as a boob, while the non white man is portrayed as the sucessful business man or much literate person. Just more brainwahing of America.

Everything from the Left sounds like adolescent rebellion. So unattractive from those way beyond seventeen. Someone needs to tell them to just grow up already.

I have yet to see Harry Reid when he is not angry. And by all appearances he is an old white man. What’s up with this?

These folks are idiots.

When the economy collapses, the color of the folks who killed us will not be relevant.

We must keep focused, and we must ignore this silly distraction.

The left actively works against ALL of God’s laws.

This is taking the 5th commandment and turning it 180 deg,
like they do everything.

However, if I sign up for Social Security Disability, and get approved, my payment will be almost exactly as much as I would get at 66. If anyone has wondered about the explosion of Disability claims in recent years - and that would include me - that explains everything.

Yes. And to be removed from disability, the condition which impelled your qualification for disability would have to improve - an unlikely outcome for an aging person.

The American Nazis and communists are wimps and cowards who wear eyeliner and carry poodles in their purses. They best be real careful what they wish for. White people are the best fighters in the world, and they carry various weaponry on their person. Their personal armory would make a Marine squad smile. White guys are capable of unleashing incredible destruction.

I believe such a “parade” should be made, armed, in a direction approximately due southerly of Harrisburg PA. I believe about a million armed old men should suffice. at 62 with a game knee I can think of no better way to cap my career.

Someone once told me that its impossible to tell someone what fried skunk tastes like unless you have eaten it yourself.

That, in a nutshell, is an absolute truth when it comes to a generation that was raised after 1970.

They never experienced (nor ever will) the freedoms we had up to the mid 60’s, enforced laws, security and a world that they could never imagine.

It was a different and much better America up until then and once women burned their bras and turned their backs on the responsibility to raise the children to pursue their “careers,” and men were to support and protect the family, the world changed for the worse never to look back at the world of order, responsibility, morals and law. They expected the government to raise their children and in too many cases “love’s little accidents” from infant day care through 1-12 day care centers called schools (indoctrination centers) and once grown, welfare or government jobs (or jobs existing solely due to the government).

No, the good times have come and gone and today’s generation does not even suspect that times in America were a completely different situation from where it is today.

They’ve never tasted skunk and there’s are fewer and fewer left each year to tell them what it tastes like.

The angriest group of people I see are black women.
They went biggest for Obama.

TV shows (and ads) pretty much follow the same pattern these days:

1. The white heterosexual male is a blithering idiot; the pee-on. He’s good for involuntarily funding a society that hates his existence, though.

2. The person in charge is usually a woman or minority or a female minority combo package. The “mom” rules the roost; the “dad” is there to be the butt of jokes and ignored, except when “mom” wants to go buy shoes or the kids want $omething.

3. The token gay character represents the conscience/moral authority (what a f*cking joke) of the situation/show.

There you go.

That show (all versions, actually) follows the formula I laid out to a “T”, except swap out “pee-on” for “criminal”
