> [@Stringbean](#): > > It’s plainly offensive by lumping an entire group together and ascribing them negative qualities. You can’t do it with any other groups, and white males notice that. Which is nonsense, it happens all the time. Blacks are demonized as thugs, women are treacherous and irrational, Muslims as terrorists, the poor as lazy morons, and so on. _This thread_ was started as an attempt to lump liberals together and insult them, using MTV of all things. What “white males” - and in this context what you mean is Trump voters, not white males in general - noticed is that people not exactly like them weren’t as badly crushed down as they used to be, and so they voted for someone who promised a campaign of persecution. What they _want_ is rape, and mass murder, the degradation of women, the persecution of the poor, the imposition of theocracy, and ethnic cleansing; the death, persecution or destruction of everyone and everything that isn’t a white, right wing Christian male. What \*MTV \*says or doesn’t say is irrelevant in the face of the genocidal hatred and cruelty of the Trump base. ---

20% of the Trump Base is as Democrat as any voter ON THIS Forum Board ---

So the same white males that ended slavery, for the most part, and have all the power, supposedly, want to do all that? So why don’t they? ---

> [@octopus](#): > > So the same white males that ended slavery, for the most part, and have all the power, supposedly, want to do all that? Those people are all long dead and irrelevant. I pointed out the term was just used by the OP as a _euphemism_ for Trump voters. I’m a white male and I certainly didn’t vote for Trump; those people want to kill me too. I’m a liberal atheist after all; that makes me demonically evil and a traitor. ---

You don’t get credit for ending something that you were doing, and benefiting from for 200 years, especially when you kicked and screamed all the way to emancipation and way way later, o risible one. ---

Look… If you know young people, you know that they often don’t watch cable news, (at least as far as I can tell)… they are more likely to go online and watch ‘The Young Turks’ or ‘Alex Jones’ or ‘David Pakman’. The more time you spend on YouTube, the more time you’re acquainted with this war that’s really brewing. It’s really the worst of people on both sides. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk ---

Some folks seem to think that white men are immune to feeling the same hair-raised, defensive, spiteful emotions that people of every other race and gender feel. Are white men privileged? For sure, in many ways. But they aren’t immune to the same “I-don’t-want-to-be-told-by-others-what-to-do-or-say” defensiveness. Some people genuinely seem to think that you can lecture a member of Group X and have them not be defensive and in fact actually vote for your side because of it, and are baffled when in fact there is a backlash instead. ---

Ah, the “you didn’t grovel hard enough to us so we’ll burn the world” argument. The only thing they did was demonstrate that they _are_ idiots and monsters, and will deserve every bit of the hatred and suffering coming their way as a result of their own actions. Unfortunately millions, probably billions of other innocent people will suffer because of them too. ---

All I know is that I’m white. Voted for Hillary. Was a Bernie fan… but understood she was a much better candidate than Trump. I know more women that voted for Trump than men, (I know that’s not the usual). I hate that this forum adopted the name “Bernie Bros”, I hate that people generalize ANYONE. I hate that what I do and think is always associated with the way I was born. I would NEVER vote for Trump. I DO wish that Hiliary took notes from Obama and didn’t make a big deal about being the first _whatever_ President… Not because it isn’t a big deal, but it’s her ideas I personally care about. I hate alt-right trolls… But unfortunately it seems to be a reaction to SJWs who I OFTEN can’t stand, but don’t hate as much as the alt-right trolls. So, am I a bad white male? I think I’ll go with my own feelings about myself, and say no. I literally love most people. I wouldn’t inflict Trump on anyone. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk ---
