When I was a kid, I lived in a small boondocks and I didn't know any Jewish people. Of form, considering I didn't know any Jewish people, my Jewdar was and then bad that Mr. Goldberg could have invited me over to bask some matzo ball soup and I would take still had no thought he was Jewish (No, actually, I'm non kidding).
Because I had no experience with Jewish people as a kid, I was particularly perplexed by anti-Semitism. Obviously, a lot of people in the globe hate Jews and very occasionally, I'd hear an anti-Semitic annotate. The reason I did not empathise this was every stereotype I'd heard about Jews was positive. It was like, "Those Jews! They're so frugal! They're always working hard and reaching the acme of their fields in banking and entertainment! In fact, they're so crafty and Machiavellian, they're practically super human!" Granted, some of the compliments were delivered in a backhanded manner, but to me, Jews sounded great. Bizarrely, now that I have gotten older and have had a risk to meet quite a few Jews, I often find them to be wonderful and competent people, just if annihilation they don't live upwards to the nearly superhuman stereotypes of the people who detest them.
Back then, it was outside my reality to imagine that a grouping of people could be hated for being successful. Yet, what I've learned since then is that people or groups that tend to exercise improve than the people effectually them are often hated for it. We've all seen this with celebrities who are richly despised past many people for no expert reason other than that they're famous. It happens this manner with groups likewise. As the great Thomas Sowell has noted, "middleman" groups that take done better than the native population by being successful in professions like retailing and banking are often despised and persecuted. Not only the Jews, merely the Chinese in Vietnam, the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the Lebanese in Sierra Leone, the Japanese in Peru and the Indians in Burma among other groups accept been mistreated and fifty-fifty massacred for the law-breaking of being successful.
Hither in America, there are no massacres happening and white men are certainly not a minority, but white men are regularly passionately smeared, attacked and degraded in our country. White people (men included) are the only grouping in the state that is discriminated against via Affirmative Activity by official government policy. In all fairness, Asians are too discriminated confronting by universities that often wave them off in favor of less qualified applicants from dissimilar racial groups, but in that location's no widespread cultural assault against Asian Americans. To the reverse, when it comes to white men, outright hatred based on our pare color is commonplace. Just expect at some of the stories nosotros've covered at Correct Wing News over the last couple of months.

It's not like we're looking for these stories or covering every one that comes down the pike; there are just and then many hateful attacks aimed at whites in general and white men in particular that they're bleeding into the news.
When you've spent your whole life assertive that anybody should exist judged by the content of his character and the merit of his actions, not the color of his skin, it'due south a fiddling shocking to find out that about no one seems to believe in this thought whatever more except for more often than not white conservative Americans.
Ironically, some of the most virulent hatred towards white men comes from white female feminists. Nigh people don't ever terminate to remember well-nigh what a bizarre situation this happens to be. Imagine you have a white woman with a white father and a white brother, going to a higher founded past a white man, using an Internet created by a white man to rail against white men and call them potential rapists because she'due south non a happy person. Rather than just dealing with it or making some changes, the liberal feminist decides white men are responsible for her coming upward short of her dreams. If you want to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for the male children of a woman like that.
Granted, white men are far from perfect. White men were responsible for slavery…and ending slavery. For denying women the right to vote….and giving women the right to vote. For the best and worst deportment of U.S. soldiers, for the best and worst actions of U.Due south. Presidents, for the best and worst deportment of heads of industry. Why are merely the negatives supposed to exist relevant? We alive in the strongest, near powerful, most prosperous nation in human history and if we're beingness honest, white men probably deserve 95% of the credit for that. That may exist unfair because women and black Americans weren't given the opportunity to significantly contribute for well-nigh of our nation'southward history, but it is true.
That being said, you don't hear white males maxim, "You can't talk about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That'due south appropriating our white heritage!" All most white men desire to do is just alive their lives to their fullest potential, but like everybody else without existence smeared equally the devil because of our skin color and our gender.
The standard response to this is something similar, "Oh yeah, like all these attacks and discrimination are really hurting white men! Pish! Look how well they're doing!" Of course, many white men AREN'T doing that well. For every Pecker Gates or Warren Buffet, there are a hundred thousand guys eking out a living while they're continually chastised for the color of their skin every bit opposed to anything they've really done incorrect. Yet and yet, some people say that because white men have been successful in American lodge overall, it must be biased in their favor. Nevertheless, if one racial group isn't performing besides as another, why assume racism instead of encouraging people to mimic what works? That seems much more likely to produce a good outcome than spewing racial hatred and falsely claiming to exist a victim. Unfortunately, there's a lot more than money to be fabricated convincing people that they aren't responsible for their own failures while you point the finger at a user-friendly bad guy.
