What Bill Maher fails to explain is that you have to be white to understand the pain, for there is nothing White crackers hate more than a Black man telling him what’s “the right thing, to do.”
And you know, not much has changed since I wrote this twenty years ago…
Dear Angry White Male,
Hey, I been hearing an awful lot of moaning and groaning lately from you guys about all the discrimination being heaped upon you. Being 34% of the population and having control of only 75% of middle management, 80% of the House of Representatives, 90% of the Senate, 99% of the Fortune 500 CEO’s and of course 100% of the Presidents and Vice Presidents in our history must be a real kick in the pants for y’all. And that doesn’t even address the fact that Black Americas have double the unemployment rate (quadruple the rate for young black males), half the average yearly income and one fourth the net worth of White Americans.
Not to worry! I have the answer to all your woes. Hop on down to your local western wear shop, plop down $50 for a nice pair of those boots with heavy duty pull straps on each side, and quite your yappin’ and your whinin’ and PULL!
