In defense of the white male

Hint: you don't get to sit on top of centuries of excluding others and then claim credit for the achievements of your group. You don't get to claim credit for building a great country when you robbed it from someone else and got someone else yet again to do the hard, thankless work part of it.

Yeah, us white men have done some amazing things. But let's not pretend we're not playing the game of life on the lowest difficulty level.

Whitemale and proud of it. This author says what needs saying more. As society becomes more of a game of 'soft skills' women will have the advantage and the power. The future is more Marissa May and less Bill Gates. It is very important they dont fall into the same trap we once did.

Sometimes it seems that even though I'm not at fault for my father's crimes, I am responsible for prominent members of the white male group's crimes. Not to say that my father has actually done anything, but I though we were pretty much over the idea of generational guilt, but we still will gladly attack you for similar reasons because of malicious actors in a group.

You can't say "some cops are racist" or "there are violent black people in the ghetto" without the entire argument devolving into a quagmire about how you were blaming a race(or a profession) and then the accuser quickly shifts back to using broad arguments for those groups anyways. Political attacks at Bernie Sanders were directed at his 'Bernie-bros' and all Trump supporters are racist white males too.

I'm going to have to read more about Hemmingway's comment "those dirty, easy labels", I have my own accusation in my friend group when I think we're falling into reductive arguments, "pretty, little boxes." The world is messy, abstractions can only take it so far.

What the fuck does this have to do with HN?
