I mean how dare a middle class white boy like me suggest that the white race has bills to pay from the past.

They also emigrated via Russia to the United States decades before the Nazis came to power in Germany. None of my ancestors had anything to do with either slavery or the Holocaust, so I refuse to take responsibility for either event now.


I couldn't say it any better myself.[ass]

Having served on an activist student senate for a couple of years, I have endured many hours of preaching on this particular gem. There was certainly a time in our nation when "white men had it made," but it's been decades since that was universally true (consider the fact that male salaries have not only stagnated, they have declined in real dollars since the 1970s), to the point where there are plenty of situations nowadays in which being a white male is a disadvantage, not an advantage.

If minorities (particularly black males) want to stop being treated like a stereotype, they should consider not acting like a stereotype. I personally will never respect anyone who acts like a gangsta wannabe, no matter what his race might be. I find whiggers and AZNs just as annoying as any black gangbanger.
