Yes the title is a broad generalization, designed to catch your attention. Get over it and let’s move on. On this website, I have seen multiple complaints about racism towards whites, and a bias against white males. Has the media put out more reports regarding white male privilege? Yes it has. But other than reporting it, has it actually affected any of your white male lives?

Have you been stopped and frisked by the police for no reason in the last few years?
Have you been rejected from renting an apartment because of it?
Have you not been called for an interview because of it (at least beyond a governmental position)?

The three above items are actual issues that nonwhite, and nonwhite males actually face on a regular basis at far higher rates than white/white males. First “Stop and Frisk” or card checking, which is the policy of police departments to stop people, frisk them, or at least check their identity. Statistically it has been shown to effect minority men at far higher rates than white men. We can also look at traffic stops of minorities in the “wrong “community being stopped and checked to see why they are there. Chris Rock the comedian has started taking selfies every time it has occurred to him calling it “driving while black”. To be honest I have never been stopped by the police while driving if I had not actually committed a traffic offense. A few times I have actually not gotten a ticket for the traffic violation as well. It should be said I am a white male.
Various studies and reports in the US have found the chances of being rejected for renting an apartment, or getting called for a job interview are drastically lower for people with an “African American sounding name. I am the same situation occurs for people of other ethnicities as well. Outside of specific areas (like the AG business of picking crops and the initial shipping or specific ethnic family owned operated restaurants) and potentially federal government jobs, white people/white males have rarely been rejected for a job interview because of their ethnicity in the US.
In my city what was one of the most popular bar/nightclubs was caught on video rejecting Canadians of East Indian ethnicity from entering the bar. Claims were made that it is not an unusual incident among the bars and nightclubs in this city. White males have not made claims about being rejected from getting inside. Just complaints that attractive women get in much faster than anyone else (note this bar has paid for breast implants for its female staff)
Why the title “snow flaking of white males in America”? Well to hear complaints about how tough white males in the US have it because the media reported on white privilege, and white male privilege. That because of those reports, white males may have joined or become associated with groups that are white nationalist, KKK etc. The hardship of being accused of having privilege or more accurately an advantage is enough to drive people to join racist groups can’t be described as anything other than being a supreme snowflake. These men, I believe actually need to spend time in the shoes of others to perhaps understand, they do still have it easier in the US than nonwhite males. Not as much as in the past, but still are less likely to be stopped by police, less likely to be rejected for a job, or an apartment than someone of a different ethnicity but the exact same skills and education.
 
Institutionalized racism.

People love to throw that word around and then prance around as though they are the epitome of moral decency - it is called virtue signaling.

It is not enough to say that these things exist, if you believe institutionalized racism is a problem then don't just stay idle, find perpetrators of it and have them charged.

This country has numerous laws, including the founding documents, designed to ensure equality for all. So, if you see an instance of inequality - do something about it.

Since your entire silly thesis rests on this proposition, how about you come up with some evidence that it is true and not just something you dreamed up this morning over a bowl of cheerios.
 
Have you been stopped and frisked by the police for no reason in the last few years?

No, as whites don't tend to commit crimes.

Have you been rejected from renting an apartment because of it?

No, as whites tend to be good neighbors.

Have you not been called for an interview because of it (at least beyond a governmental position)?

I've not been called for lots of interviews. Still, whites tend to be good employees.

Now some questions for you:
Have you faced tougher standards when applying to college?
Have you faced tougher standards when applying to a job?
Do whites face a tougher time immigrating to this country?
How many statues of black leaders have been torn down?
Do you get accused of gentrification when moving to a minority area? Are you accused of white flight when you move away from a minority area?

On this site a few posters made that suggestion in threads associated with the Charleston rally/protests. Not liberal posters mind you but conservative posters.

I am sure you could find them if you wish to.

I see. So perhaps one or two people have said something like that here (or not) and you extrapolate that to cover all white men. Sounds rather racist. And silly.

Certainly not all white men (as I am one)

Just the snowflakes upset at articles that discuss white male privlege. Which to be honest is not a large number but it is not insignificant. Heck one of the calls at the Charleston was "You will not replace us" That was not done by the Antifa protesters by the way

Weird, because antifa had signs like this.

There is definitely a sense of white male victimhood that is pretty popular right now. It's largely driven overall by right wing media. That includes all of the alt-right nonsense that is flooding the internet right now. In reality it is still a really good deal to be a white man. I doubt that being a white man has ever negatively impacted me.

Well, there is some evidence that persons of lighter complexion and such are trusted more than their opposites. I've seen a number of cross cultural and cross race studies that suggest quite robustly that this is pretty much general to all races. In other words, humans are intrinsically race reactive. Also, it seems rather generally accepted that members of formal and often informal groups will tend to trust members of their own group more and quickly counter members of other groups with animosity. At the drop of a pin, so to speak.

It is not a pc thing to center on, but it is herein that Obama's tweet to the contrary is most probably wrong and most probably knowingly so.
 
So their signs were saying they will replace them?

UN definition of genocide:

UN said:
Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide(1948)as"any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national,ethnical,racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part 1; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

What that sign argues for is, by definition, genocide.
 
What part of that definition has to do with the sign?

Well

White people will engage in sexual reproduction with non white people leading to mixed ethnicity children. Changing the ethnic makeup of the US from predominately European Caucasian to Mixed/Other

Right, but the definition clearly paints genocide as something that is forced on people. I doubt the girl with the sign was advocating for forced race mixing. I'm pretty sure she was just referencing the ever growing population of non whites and mixed raced people in this country.

I understand, but it is phattonez.

That didn't just happen. That's a direct result of policy that was implemented in the 1960's which disfavored European immigration and allowed for massive numbers of immigrants from south of the border and Asia.

Tell me how it's significantly different than what China did with Tibet.

I have not been stopped and frisked, but MANY, MANY (but not enough) young black males have been stopped, frisked and jailed (and/or) detained, disarmed, shot, wounded, killed or imprisoned.

This HAS affected my white male life in that the streets are safer than they were before these actions.

Haha, I didn't see that twist coming.
 
Good post.


Institutionalized racism.

People love to throw that word around and then prance around as though they are the epitome of moral decency - it is called virtue signaling.

I bet if liberals were prevented from posing about race or identity the traffic on this site would decrease by 90%.
 
Your grandkids are going to be brown. Why are you upset by that?

Because it's not about skin color. It's about the death of a culture, and it being replaced by another. Why should I celebrate the replacement of the culture that my forebearers built?
 
I see Phattonez and Vox are trying to out-racist each other here.

Vox is winning big with that last one. C'mon, Phat, step up your game!
