First let me say that I am white and a male but I am not a vanishing white male because my waistline keeps getting bigger no matter what I do. P90X, riding a bicycle, walking, none of these activities are reducing my waistline. I can only hope that they are slowing the rate of its expansion. And that’s one of the problems we face as white males in this country - our rate of expansion has been slower than other ethnic groups for decades and now they have overtaken us.
Even though any fool could see this coming from a mile down the road, our minority status has arrived and we are really angry about it. So I believe the reasoning is as follows: if we are in the minority and will continue to be a smaller minority as time marches on, then we need to find imaginative ways to suppress and control the majority so we can pursue policies that will make them want to leave the country.
And it’s not just majority ethnic groups that are a threat to us, there is a women problem also. Way back in 1920 we let women take away our whiskey in exchange for keeping them away from the ballot box. Then we wound up giving them the right to vote anyway. I guess Obama’s negotiating skills must have been inherited from his mother.
Women used to vote the way we told them to but now they are becoming independent and voting (gasp) with the minorities. We know it’s too late to take back their right to vote, but by golly, we can find all kinds of innovative, clever ways to make them realize that they should be subordinate to us: Paying them less money for the same work that we do, objectifying them 24/7 in the media, and these are nicest ways we do this. Some of the ways we do this are so awful that our beloved leader, Mitt Romney can’t talk about it or answer questions about it.
To sum it all up, for me, this election is not about sustaining Obamacare, or many of the other important pieces of legislation passed in the first two years of his administration. It is about the political demise of an entitled class of people represented by my caricature above and by Mitt Romney and his troop of jackass supporters. Turn on the television or go to You Tube on any given day for the next two weeks and you will see expressions of contempt and hostility toward their majority ethnic opponents. Some of these expressions are subtle and background and some are like thunder, they are so loud and prominent that you have to wonder what century you are living in. I hope and pray every day that we will overcome these guys. And if we don’t do it this time, that we will be patient and persistent and not give up.
When Romney and his ilk are removed from power, white males will have a new place in the world. If we can accept our new position and stop trying to fight it, we will be freed from task of subjugating non whites, and we can start to think about the things that really matter.
