Does anyone else find it ironic that it is illegal to discriminate against a person based on their race, creed, color, religion or sexual preference, but it appears perfectly acceptable to discriminate based on a persons political ideology?

Seems to me like that was the one of the basic freedoms that this country was founded on. Or am I missing something?

Actually white, male, straight, Christian, men are discriminated against continually, which has become completely acceptable (even required) by those on the left. Ideology is just the next item on the list. Just sayin'....

That’s not discrimination, that’s justice. White males with they’re hateful ideology are finally getting what they deserve.

Anyone who has experienced hate and has not allowed hate to corrupt them, will find no justice or comfort when hate is aimed others.

I didn't think it was really needed, due to the hyperbole. Wink

The Double-Standard, is standard for those who embrace the leftist ideology.

The need to be outraged or, incensed marches ever forward, seeking new groups, cliques and organizations to tamp-down, suppress and crush. Much like the good communists of the past, the revolution continues.

As a 51 year old white male conservative - Corporate America has a bullseye on our backs. This is on top of overall culture. I never discuss politics or values, but even hobbies like cars, guns, etc seem to be a factor.

I am much more conscious and careful, but at this point feel it is a matter of time. But this will never be acknowledged and will get worse before better. Never mind the daily slights and veiled asks to acknowledge and open insults. Feel like the guy that gets hit by a car and the driver blames me for the dent in his car.

Are any of you saying, in general, you'd rather be a black woman (for example) that a white man?

It's a good question. I wouldn't rather be a black woman even in the face of 'affirmative action' or what we could call reverse-discrimination. But... I was born a white man. If I was born a black woman, I would like to think I wouldn't rather be something else either. However, Not having walked a mile in those shoes though, I can't really be sure.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

No.
We are saying that we are sick and tired of being demonized for being White men.
Not a single person in my family, or extended geneology has ever owned a slave.
I believe homosexuality is immoral.
I believe that a man thinking he is a woman is a psychosis.
I believe in treating all individuals as individuals, based on their own qualities.
Having said that, I cannot ignore the FACTUAL differences in IQ and cultural values that have contributed to making my race superior to many others.
Yes, superior.
Not that my racial identity is the top value in my hierarchy, but I am tired of being blamed for other races and cultural groups' inferiority....much of it self inflicted. I have a right to be proud that generally "White" judeo-christian culture is responsible for most of everything that humans call "civilization".
I am sick of being individually penalized and demonized just because my race has been factually superior and more advanced.

If I have "privileges" it is because my ancestors were superior at avoiding enslavement in a world where other races and culture would gladly enslave them.
Because my ancestors established loving, responsible, traditional families. Families in which the men were strong and took personal responsibility. Families in which women were loving and nurturing to the children. Families in which we knew who "men" were and who "women" were. Families in which the men did not abandon their families and children.
Because my family encouraged and promoted education and responsibility.

Yes, I have "privileges". They are things to be proud of and protect; not things to be ashamed of and denigrated.

Thanks for that thoughtful answer.

Also, thanks. I understand feeling demonized.

I would point out that white European culture is not the only way to a civilized society. China, Japan, and other parts of Asia have done pretty damn well. Their societies are different, to be sure, and we might prefer our way, but you can't say that China, for example, didn't produce a very functional civilization. And I know they borrowed from us, just as we borrowed from other civilizations over the past 15,000 years. Europeans didn't invent agriculture, for example.
