Angry/Bitter White Man Syndrome
Written by a black woman:
Quote:
.... "bitter white man syndrome" is nothing new. It usually entails a gross misunderstanding of history to benefit his own interests or beliefs. Nevermind that research would prove him to be a liar. He will blame some political wing, usually the left, for being "extremist," which I take to mean that he will not admit that he is wrong. Everybody is wrong but him.
Minorities usually get the brunt of the blame for society's ills, but he doesn't go as far as being as hateful of the KKK. He might respect a black man or woman who falls into his rigid social standards. He tends to keep his predjudices to conversations with other white men because he just ASSUMES every white man is as bitter as he is. He could care less that he is being extremely disrespectful for discussing politics, religion, race or abortion at the workplace and spouting off his beliefs at the wrong place and wrong time....
...I find it comical that anyone could be that angry, especially given his position in the social hierarchy of things. I mean shouldn't life be good? Men that look like him are printed on the money you spend. The leaders of this country all look him; looked out for his best interests first before anyone else's and catered to him first. Entertainment is brought to white men 18-34 on a platter because what they want goes. Movies, music, television, you name it. It is what it is. I'm not bitter, so why is he bitter?
I guess I don't understand, from my viewpoint as a black woman, why he's so mad at the world. What affront has been done to him to make him so angry?
Maybe if we sat down and had a chat, he would stop being so angry and he would realize that life isn't as bad as he thinks it is........
I mean at least he's not a minority......
