You have to be real careful around those white males... they get unruly sometimes and need to be kept in their place.

Isn't it WhiteMale hunting season in the city?
"Liberal" around here is basically synonymous with "evil," innit?
Either way, I don't see a problem with the question. A lot of white males think they've been scapegoated and subsequently "backlash against diversity efforts." Deal with it, I s'pose.
That's because "diversity" has nothing to do with normality. Its backlash exists because their civil rights (by that, I mean mine as well) are being violated by those who claim to support them.
You can insinuate all you want, but the "liberals are evil" idea only came from you. That might tell us all something.
Gee, I did not realize that you white males still had so much power!
especially when you come in second when it comes to jobs, health benefits, etc.
You don't get the advantages of society for being a woman...
You don't get the benefits of hiring privileges because you're white... [when you become more of a minority, does that mean that you will receive more privileges? I doubt it]
And yet,white males yield so much power that they they are to be blamed for everything that is wrong in society.
gads, I sure am glad that I am not one. it's too much responsibility :-)
Kaeleri, try this one:
New Question:
A backlash against lynching laws comes from _________ who believe they are set up as scapegoats for societal problems.
a. black males
b. masons
c. missionaries
d. women
Does that put it into perspective?
Either way, I don't see a problem with the question. A lot of white males think they've been scapegoated and subsequently "backlash against diversity efforts." Deal with it, I s'pose.
Isn't that the ultimate insult to "liberalism?"
Examples:
1. 2005 - White males yield more "power" in this culture. "Deal with it, I s'pose".
2. We have that "slavery" thing going on. Just deal with it, I s'pose.
3. 1900 - Women don't get to vote. Why don't they jsut "deal with it".
Kaelri, being liberal isn't "evil", it jsut lacks all common sense and logic. Just deal with it, I s'pose.
And I can't seem to get my fingers to hit J-U-S-T in the correct order.
Am I a white male or simply a "Victim" of Albinoism syndrome?
"Diversity" is just the latest term for "racism".
And "tolerance" is a euphemism for "intolerance" - because in both cases, it's a one-way street.
To see how good white males have it check out this scholarship list from PCC.
There's pretty much something for everyone... except white males.
"That's because "diversity" has nothing to do with normality. Its backlash exists because their civil rights (by that, I mean mine as well) are being violated by those who claim to support them."
Agreed.
"You can insinuate all you want, but the "liberals are evil" idea only came from you. That might tell us all something."
Ahm... not so much, no. Certainly not when liberalism is jokingly attributed to having a brain the size and shape of a radioactive coconut.
But take this example from last March: "The argument for a 'rainy day fund' is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. (Topped only be the assertion that liberals [are] on our side in the war on terror)."
Or this: "The problem with liberals is that they can't understand a compassionate God because their idea of compassion is backwards."
April: "The homogenous liberal culture present in our public schools should make any parent nervous."
Is this really all your idea of "humor?"
"A backlash against lynching laws comes from [black males] who believe they are set up as scapegoats for societal problems."
Obviously quite a gap between theatrical murders and affirmative action. They're both signs of a somewhat skewed sense of racial equality but the latter isn't sinful...
"2. We have that 'slavery' thing going on. Just deal with it, I s'pose.
3. 1900 - Women don't get to vote. Why don't they jsut 'deal with it'."
Erm. They did. They're called the 13th and 19th Amendments.
Well, kinda on topic...

Funny...none of those things say "liberals are evil" or even insinuate it. Stupid maybe.
Again...only you.
" Funny...none of those things say "liberals are evil" or even insinuate it. Stupid maybe."
Come off it, you're smarter than that. What they insinuate, especially in the context, is that liberals are the allies of terrorism - an ideology that advocates indiscriminate, vengeful destruction of everything and everyone you don't like; that the intent of the "liberal agenda" is to harm children through schools; and that they are beyond the redemption of God. Sounds rather like evil incarnate to me.
" Kaelri, I see nothign wrong in the examples you bring up. In my view, they are all true."
Huh. That must be rather sad for you.
"Liberals are not on the side of the US in the war on terror. Oh sure, they are against terrorism, but they identify more with the bad-guys-as-victims-of-oppression-so-who-can-blame-them-they-were-forced-into-it than the American soldiers."
Yeah, so much so that they voted to depose the Taliban 518-1. (Yes, the 1 was a Dem, have fun with it.) Victims of oppression, we identify with; but someone who decides to remove the oppression with a [gun/bomb strapped to chest/Boeing 747] is no longer a victim.
"To liberals, the real terror threat is George Bush, so the war on terror is a war on Bush. The axis of evil is not Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld."
I wonder just what kind of bloody-mindedness you think we're endowed with... the war on terror is the idea that we can end terrorism by killing all terrorists, everywhere. Never minding the omnipresent fact that it's impossible, the broader point is that President Bush is simply not the one we want in charge of it.
"Remember, it wasn't the conservatives who only a week ago called for us to surrender to the terrorists."
Hm. Here's a piece of information that maybe you haven't grasped yet.
Some people fear that we'll surrender to the terrorists, but some people fear that we already have.
"Guess what? It isn't conservatives doing any of this. It is liberals. No, not every liberal. But liberals nonetheless."
I wonder, do you think that they're doing this because they're liberal, or that they're doing this therefore they're liberal?
