To paraphrase the immortal words of baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson ... "Nobody boos a loser."
I see the growing cacophony of complaints about white males as nothing more than a cultural acknowledgement that the groups complaining about them can't match their historical, cultural and academic accomplishments.
The U.S. is the only country in the world where a female and/or a minority can become as wealthy as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, or Larry Ellison.
And yet they haven't. The fact that all of these three people I listed are white males pretty much tells the story.
Look at most of the inventions.
