Democrat

March of the America Stinks Party

October 16, 2019 by Brian Ravenswood

The Democrat Party no longer hides its contempt for America making a terribly flawed miscalculation

In their desperate attempt to decipher the mystery behind how Donald Trump won the White House, the Democrats have made a terribly flawed miscalculation. They see his unfiltered brand of, “just saying whatever’s on his mind, no matter how crude” as the secret to his political success.

Their hypothesis, “this must be what’s appealing to the great, unwashed masses of Walmart shopping bipeds. Picking up the cheapest six-pack of beer while searching for the NASCAR pajamas one of their litter of eleven overweight offspring begged for.” (An opinion shared by most staff writers at the New York Times) Yes, this must be what won over the semi-literate Jerry Springer vote! Trump’s brashness! His constant willingness to blurt out whatever he’s thinking at the moment! Damn the consequences!

I’m afraid this is a fatal error on their part. You see, my dear Dems, it’s not how he’s saying it, but what he’s saying that appeals to the public. His weapon of choice is substance over style. As opposed to the Democrats whose motto is “all glitz, flash, and fluff but no intellectual depth.” Their chosen battle cry.

In what can only be called a strategic error of blazing proportions, the Democrats have adopted a campaign of “Unfiltered speech.” They’ve launched an offensive involving their Presidential Candidates mimicking The President’s style. Saying whatever’s on their minds. Consequences be damned! And that’s the problem.

Now, because of their newfound honesty, we all know what they really think.

America Stinks!

I’ve known the Left hates America since my political awakening in 1984. I can feel it in my bones. Ever since I became interested in politics, this one simple truth was evident to me. But here’s the thing, for the past thirty years they’ve tried to hide their contempt for our country. And not very well, I might add. But they at least denied it on some level.

Now, however, the gloves are off. There is no attempt to conceal what they truly think of the USA. And I’m honestly wondering, “What kind of political strategy is this?!” I’ve never seen anything like it. The problem is what’s really on their minds isn’t what Americans want to hear. How this appeals to the average voter is beyond me.

Don’t the Democrats have political strategists or consultants pointing out how flawed this course of action is? It doesn’t look like it! They are literally flying blind.

As I’ve stated before in other posts, President Trump’s victory winning the White House pulled the mask off a great many things. In more ways than one. Since November of 2016, I’ve found myself baffled by plenty of what I’ve seen and heard. I’ve always considered myself politically astute. More so than the average person, but what we are seeing unfold before us now is something I could never have predicted.

While watching all the Democrat Primary debates, I was stunned. It’s as if every candidate was trying to outdo each other with the ‘America Stinks’ comments. They were all angry, something commonly believed to be political suicide in the recent past. Do these people even like this country? Why would you want to lead it if you hate it so much?

USA! Go Away!

As I said, the Democrats have mistakenly assumed Trump’s victory came from the fact he speaks without a filter. Hence they’ve thrown their old school political tactics out a widow, now speaking unfiltered for the first time! “Look! We are just like Trump! Let’s say what’s REALLY on our minds! America stinks! It’s the WORST country in the world!”

While campaigning across the country, every one of the Democrat Presidential Candidates starts their speeches off with a dirty laundry list of how much America stinks. For some, it is literally the first sentence.

Beto O’Rourke, for example, begins public speeches by decrying, “America was founded on racism and slavery!” A factually untrue statement and one which makes me wonder, “Who is this guy trying to appeal to?”

As long as I can remember, most voter polls list the populations’ primary concern as jobs and the economy. Particularly people who have kids and a family to feed. With economic drips and spikes, this has to be an anxiety-inducing element in the average breadwinners’ life. However, Beto O’Rourke stated America was founded, not in 1776, but 1619 when the first African slave arrived on the North American continent. I’m somewhat perplexed as to how this affects an unemployed factory worker in Indiana. Or a laid-off waitress in Seattle. What is the average voter supposed to do with this information?

And by the way, let me point out how factually wrong this is. How could America be founded on slavery when only one half of the nation considered it legal in the first place? The North opposed slavery and didn’t want anything to do with it right from the beginning. So saying, “America was founded on slavery” makes no sense. It would be far more accurate to say, “Half of America practiced slavery.” But then you could only say “half of America stinks” and what fun is that?

Let’s agree with the Beta Male…

What if we all got together and agreed with Beto? That America was indeed founded in 1619 on a foundation of racial bigotry and slavery. What then? Will the US economy suddenly spark to life and take off like a rocket? Will violent crime in cities like Chicago and St. Louis miraculously begin to decline? Or inner-city test scores start to rise? I doubt it. I’m just not sure what the point is. They are beyond beating this horse to death. The one thing I am NOT hearing are ideas (or I should say GOOD ideas). The sheer lack of them is almost as shocking as the fact “The Media” doesn’t seem to notice.

The “Journalists” moderating each Primary Debate are supposed to be intelligent, educated professionals questioning the candidates. Yet when each one answers every question, no matter what the subject is, with the redundant, “I hate Trump! America stinks! What about slavery?” they are oddly satisfied with the answer!

Perfect example. When a so-called “Journalist” asks any Democrat Candidate, “How do you plan to bring much-needed jobs to the poorest sections of our inner-cities?” The response is;

“Why don’t you ask President Trump and the Republicans that?!”

At which point, the audience cheers. And the interviewer NEVER points out or comments on the fact the question went unanswered. Why is the audience cheering? They just got ripped off. If you’re a registered Democrat, why aren’t you asking for more substance? Aren’t you at all interested in hearing an answer to the question? OK, you hate Trump and the Republicans, but aren’t you concerned with issues beyond that? Any issues at all? How is this type of answer gratifying?

For Pete’s sake!

During the third Primary Debate, when asked if supporting the President’s policies regarding illegal immigration are racist, Pete Buttigieg responded, “Anyone who supports this is supporting racism.” He then answered the question again in Spanish, which I find interesting since it had been asked in English. Does Buttigieg think there are people watching the Debates who can’t speak or understand English? If so they didn’t understand the question he was asked in the first place.

Does he think the crisis on our southern border doesn’t need a solution? That illegal immigration isn’t a problem? According to all legitimate opinion polls, the vast majority of Americans do, and they want this fixed. But according to Mayor Pete, all of these voters are “Racists.”

Why is protecting OUR BORDER and sovereignty Racist when every country in the world does so?

Because according to Mayor Pete, “America stinks!” That’s why!

I’ve seen several campaign speeches where Kamela Harris states; America doesn’t, “talk about slavery enough!”

As far as I’m concerned, we talk about it FAR TOO MUCH! WE NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT IT! If a five-mile wide asteroid were on a collision course with Earth and we had a limited amount of time to prevent this extinction-level event from happening, the first words out of the Democrats mouth would be, “Wait! What about slavery?! Why don’t we talk about that instead?” Who cares about the apocalyptic impact?!

The slave trade is a historical fact, but for the Racial Fanatics in the Democrat Party, it’s become a debilitating OBSESSION! One that makes Captain Ahab look reasonable by comparison. And Senator Harris isn’t the only Democrat to make this statement. I’ve heard many say, “Why don’t we talk about slavery?” Over and over again!

With all due respect, what for? Will doing so create jobs? Fix our Healthcare? Put food on the table for millions of Americans?

And what about Slavery?

What is there to talk about? The entire institution of slavery is barbaric. It falls under the heading of Barbarism — a part of the West’s brutal past. (I wish I could say it was a part of Humanity’s past, but unfortunately, this is not the case. On planet Earth, in 2019, the practice of human slavery is more widespread than ever across the globe. In countries you’ve never heard of. But I digress, always keep one thing in mind, America stinks. Pointing out the current state of slavery in the world only distracts from the all-mighty prime directive of the Democrat Party.)

There used to be a saying, “Man’s inhumanity to Man.” I suppose these days this is way too gender-specific, so I guess we can change it to, “Human’s inhumanity to Humans.” Whatever. The point being the further you venture into the past, the more cruelty and brutality are the norm. Keep in mind slavery is mentioned throughout the Bible. Parts of which were written well over 3,000 years ago.

And can you say, “The Roman Empire?”

When it comes to slavery, there isn’t a great deal to talk about as far as I am concerned. Yes, you can focus on the damage it did, the individual acts of cruelty, the sheer toll of Human misery, but to what purpose? In my mind, slavery is immoral. Simple as that. It’s a fact of life.

Slavery IS immoral. One human being owning another is repulsive and morally repugnant. The very thought of it is sickening and should be to anyone born in the 21st Century. But let’s be honest, when you hear someone say, “Why don’t we talk about slavery?” this accurately translates into one thing; “Why don’t we talk about how much America stinks?”

Whitewash History

And for the record, the way Black People were treated in the United States from the end of the Civil War until the Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 60’s all fall under the heading of Barbarity. The majority of which was presided over by the Democrat Party, but that’s another post.

It is a historical fact only 3% of captured African slaves were imported to then colonial America. The other 97% went to Central and South America as well as the Caribbean. If you question this fact, then look at the population of those regions. According to Beto O’Rourke, all those countries were founded on a bedrock of “Racism and Racial Superiority” as well. When a politician runs for office in Brazil, Barbados, or Haiti, I wonder, do they start their campaign speeches rehashing this as well?

For Leftists, anything negative that happened without America’s involvement never really occurred. There was no history on Earth before 1492 when Columbus invaded the new world. Absolutely nothing happened before that.

Anti American Graffiti

Left-Wing History in a Nutshell…

This is the Left-wing Democrat history of Humanity in a nutshell;

  • White Europeans invaded North America with the sole intent of wiping out the native population.
  • After that, they captured innocent Africans, enslaved them, and brought them to America.
  • Once the slave trade was up and running, we went back to killing more Native Americans for sport.
  • Then we had a Civil War, but it wasn’t to free the slaves. It was to deny Blacks and Women the right to vote.
  • Next America stole Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California from Mexico by purchasing the land.
  • Then we interned Japanese Americans for no good reason in Internment Camps.
  • Followed by the dropping of two nukes on the peaceful nation of Japan, just for laughs.
  • A few years later the evil, mean, and cruel Senator McCarthy made it impossible for a few Hollywood playwrights’ to get work. (This is referred to as “one of the darkest chapters in US history.” Here’s a fun fact; everyone Senator McCarthy went after was actually GUILTY!)
  • Later on, America invaded Vietnam just to kill lots of women and children.
  • Then the evil President Nixon put our entire Democracy in danger by resigning from office.
  • Followed by the “Dark Times,” the Reagan Years.
  • Eventually, Hilary Clinton was supposed to be anointed President, reversing all of America’s evils in one shot, but had the election stolen out from under her because the Russians bought a lot of Facebook ads (Yes, some people believe this!)

America was NEVER Great!

That’s pretty much it. You can forget about all the diseases we’ve cured. Not to mention time and money spent fighting some of the worst epidemics in the Third World in a pure act of humanitarian charity. Also, just ignore the Peace Corp. A uniquely American idea. One NEVER copied by any other nation on Earth.

And by the way, give it some time. Soon our public schools will teach kids World War 2 started when America nuked Hiroshima in a surprise attack — forcing Imperial Japan to retaliate. That’s where the assault on Pearl Harbor comes in. I haven’t figured it out yet, but they will find a way to blame America for Hitler’s rise to power and the Holocaust.

Think my predictions are far-fetched? Guess again. You WILL see this happen in your lifetime, and of course, when you try and point out the historical inaccuracies of these claims, you will be labeled a racist and a bigot. Because that’s what the Left calls, “Intellectual Discourse.”

Documented historical facts, all written by “dead white men,” are useless. Completely unreliable for accuracy. Of course, making things up out of thin air is fine. After all, George Orwell said, “Those who control the past control the future.” And if you dream of a future without the United States of America, then rewriting history to push the narrative America Stinks consistently is the first step towards this goal. The Left claims to hate slavery but hates the nation that ended it (not to mention the only civilization that came to despise it). At the cost of 650,000 thousand lives.

They go on and on about how much they hate Nazism but also hate the nation that crushed it. At the cost of 420,000 young American lives. It wasn’t acoustic guitars and flower power that ended the Holocaust. It was American Tanks. And in case you mistakenly think it was the Soviet Union who defeated Nazism, think again. They were in DEEP trouble until America entered World War 2 and lent them a hand. But hey, when you’re busy teaching kids how much America stinks, why tell them the truth?

Case Closed…

It’s not much of a stretch to say if you think America stinks, then you believe America needs to be punished. To me, that’s what the entire Obama Presidency was about — finally punishing the evil American Empire — bringing it down a couple of notches. His dream of since freshman year in Private School.

I wish this weren’t true, but one day a Democrat will inevitably sit in the White House again. God help us when that day comes. The Trump Presidency has shown us their true colors, and I don’t ever want to see them succeed again.

Let me tell you all about White Privilege…

February 15, 2019 by Brian Ravenswood

Where's my white privilege
Where's my white privilege?

Just in case you were unaware, I am a straight white male who was raised Catholic. In my career, I have worked for just about every type of person.

I’ve had supervisors who were black women, white women, gay men, Hispanic men, gay Latino men, Hispanic lesbians, Jewish lesbians and immigrants from Jamaica, Israel, China, and Russia. One of the most significant aspects of living and working in New York City during my youth was the opportunity to work with and for so many different types of people from so many unique backgrounds.

I’ve had coworkers from South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the former Soviet Union. All of whom I got along with great. I enjoyed their company immensely. I once worked for a large advertising agency founded by two entrepreneurial women and with an almost entirely female staff. They were terrific employers, and I have fond memories of working for them.

If someone were to ask me what lessons I’ve learned from my vast work experience, one would be this. For the most part, I can say working for other straight white males has been a complete nightmare. Sure there were exceptions. But overall it was a horror show.

“But wait, don’t you have White Privilege?” you ask.

My response, “What’s that?”

I can only relate to you what happened to me personally from my own experiences. Many of which were terrible. Here are some examples;

I was once placed in a great position by a headhunter in the tech industry. It was in the web marketing department of a telecom company in San Diego, where I lived at the time. I was the sixth person they had tried in six months. No one lasted longer than five weeks. I however lasted five months. No one else had been able to handle the heavy workload until I came along. My boss was white, and the owners of the company were white.

Once a week my white supervisor sent my white headhunter glowing reviews of my stellar performance. She was thrilled to be working with a professional capable of doing the job. One who was very easy to get along with and whose skills matched their demands. It became clear to everyone early on that I was, “the right guy for the job.” After five months it was time to make it official and hire me.

Did I get the job?

No.

Keep in mind I was the only employee out of six who didn’t fail in this position. What does common sense tell you? If five people can’t do a job and one can then you obviously hire that person.

Not in my reality.

So what happened?

The headhunter who placed me in this position tried to negotiate the details of my employment. As it turned out this company didn’t want to pay me a livable wage. San Diego is a costly place to live and requires a certain salary just to make ends meet. The salary they were willing to pay would not support a single adult in the San Diego area. I would have been forced to go on food stamps. No joke.

I was impressed by the fact they never bothered to ask if I was married or had kids. Which at my age is more than likely. So they were offering me a salary incapable of supporting a family. I was shocked and stunned as was the headhunter. This job demanded highly sought-after technical skills as well as a great deal of education. What they were offering was utterly unrealistic.

Negotiations to buy out my contract and hire me full time fell to pieces, and one Friday afternoon I was let go. But not before they informed me they had hired someone else. They also assumed I would be willing to train this new employee to do the job I earned and got screwed out of. (Are you angry yet?)

Instead of hiring me they hired a much younger white guy. They hired him without even trying him out first. He was offered the job and put on staff without any test period. When I asked why I was told, “Well, he can do everything you can do and edit video as well.”

I responded with, “I’ve been editing video for years. If someone had just asked me that I would have told you so.”

Their response: “Well, he does 3D modeling too.”

My response: “So do I. I’ve actually won awards for my 3D modeling skills.”

Their response: “Well, whatever.”

The guy they hired instead of me lasted all of five weeks before he quit. He was not able to keep up with the job demands. So the position was vacant again. But did they call the one guy successful at doing this job?

No.

Weeks later I saw my position advertised on a job site. I knew precisely who placed it, that part was obvious. They listed, “Seven years of back-end web development experience required.” I can tell you people with that much experience get $75 an hour. But they wanted to offer me minimum wage.

In other words, the market dictates a specific value for sought after, in-demand skills. This meant nothing to them, where they got this idea is beyond me.

For those of you unfamiliar with the tech market, I’ll illustrate what went on here. The situation was analogous to this;

They wanted a brand new 2019 Trans Am sports car but for the price of a used 2007 Toyota Corolla. You and I both know if you went to a Trans Am dealership and made the offer I just spelled out you’d be thrown off the lot right after they laughed at you!

White Privilege?

So where was my white privilege? At the time I didn’t know I had any. If I had maybe I could have invoked it with my desired employers. “Hey guys,  C’mon, I’m white. You’re white. Let’s stop this nonsense! Hire me and pay a decent wage. After all, if you don’t hire me, you might get stuck working with one of those ‘people of color’ and then where will you be, right?”

Somehow I don’t think so. Here’s another story.

I once worked for a software company in Illinois. The owner was a rich, white millionaire. The senior staff was entirely Caucasian as well. After working there for six months business took a turn for the worse and they were forced to lay some people off. I was one of forty who got the ax that day.

I was depressed and bummed out I had lost my job. I didn’t know what I was going to do so I applied for unemployment before I started my job search. A few days later the State Office of Unemployment called me to say my former [white] employer was contesting my unemployment claim! That means I wasn’t going to get anything to survive on!

Try this one on for size. When the unemployment office called them to verify I had been laid off my WHITE EMPLOYERS claimed I had lied! They told the state I had been let go for, “Disciplinary Reasons as a Result of Misconduct.” In other words, they caught me doing something illegal, and I got fired for it! An outright LIE! You see, if they confirmed my claim was legitimate their unemployment insurance premiums would go up. So they fought it. And of course the claims of all forty staff members they let go!

I was out of work and needed those unemployment checks to pay rent and buy groceries until I lined something else up. Without that money, I honestly don’t know what I would have done. Getting that phone call from the state was one of the worst moments of my life.

And guess what? They did the same thing to one of my coworkers. A WHITE coworker whose white wife had just given birth to their first white child only a few days ago! But that didn’t stop our former white boss from trying to screw him out of unemployment insurance either! And he had a BABY TO FEED!

See how EASY it is being white? It’s like being part of a great big club! We all look out for each other!

NOT!

Luckily the state believed me, and I got my benefits. But this didn’t lessen the shock of what they tried to do. I could not understand how such cruelty was possible in this day and age. It was like something you’d read in a Dickens novel.

Or how about this one?

A small company made up entirely of WHITE MEN offered me a great job in San Diego while I was still living in Illinois. On paper, it looked amazing! A real career opportunity. I could not believe my luck. Before I accepted the job, I asked if they would pay for my relocation expenses. They said yes but only after I completed my first ninety days.

They had been trying to fill this spot for over a year when I came along, so it seemed like a no brainer to me. If they hadn’t found anyone to do this gig in a year, there was no way I’d not last past the three-month mark.

Long story short, boy was I wrong. You see, these WHITE MEN told me they were about to be extremely busy and needed me to hurry up and move before their enormous work crunch hit. I gladly complied and showed up for my first day of work bright and early after relocating cross country. Full of energy and promise!

What followed was eight weeks of excruciating agony and boredom. Their anticipated workload did not materialize. It didn’t take a genius to figure out what had happened. They were betting on some significant contract coming in, probably trying to land a huge client. The deal must have fallen through because there was literally no work to do. The staff and I were forced to sit at our desks waiting for something, anything to work on. At one point I began rearranging furniture just to feel like I was accomplishing something.

The stress was HORRIBLE! These guys clearly had a lot riding on this deal. When it fell apart, it must have meant something close to Chapter 11 for their firm. Their anxiety translated into rage. Rage they focused on the staff. Like it was our fault. I’ve never been so abused in the workplace before. Friends asked me why I put up with it.

What could I do? I was between a rock and a hard place. I had just moved to San Diego and signed a one-year lease on an apartment. I had bills to pay. One of which was a $4,000 moving cross country bill I needed reimbursement for. I didn’t know anyone in San Diego; these guys were my only source of income. I felt trapped. What was I going to do? Mouth off to them and say, “Go to Hell!” I needed that job to survive.

Anyway, eight weeks after my first day the phone rang while getting ready for work. It was a Monday morning when my white male employers called to fire me over the phone. They claimed I had lied about my skills and experience, so I was let go. It was so obvious there was no work coming in I had to wonder why they made up that lie. What was the point?

I called several labor attorneys to see if I had a case for a loss of employment lawsuit. They all asked the same question, “Did you get anything in writing before taking the job and moving?” The answer was a foolish, ‘No.’ Lesson learned. In the business world, if something isn’t written down and signed it never really happened.

(By the way, if you’re reading this and ever get offered a job you have to relocate for, please learn from my example and get everything in writing!)

So now I was unemployed in a state I had only lived in for two months. This means under California State law, I was not eligible to collect unemployment benefits! I wonder what my new landlord would say about that? Oh, and don’t forget about my being stuck with a $4,000 moving bill because I didn’t pass my first ninety days.

See what it’s like working for other straight, white, Christian males? (In case you’re wondering, they were proud Democrats, just saying)

White privilege strikes again!

Another time I was in the running for a great job at a very prominent financial magazine. The most capitalist of all capitalist publications! The editorial staff was, of course, completely WHITE. And when I say white, I mean the Waspiest of Wasps! Just picture those stuffy old fogies you see in church every Sunday. The ones with every gray hair perfectly placed. Like some type of senior Ken Doll or the elders from the movie, ‘Footloose’ with Kevin Bacon.

The job was between two other guys and me. One was a legal Mexican immigrant who just happened to be gay. The other was a white guy.

Before the final decision was made the white guy bailed out because he received another job offer. When they reached a decision, guess who got hired? Right! The Mexican gay guy!

Wow! That good old white privilege struck again!

In case you’re wondering, I wasn’t mad. I was bummed, but the ‘gay Latino’ just happened to be a good friend of mine. We have worked together for years. So when he got the job and not me, I was disappointed but glad for him because he deserved it. And now he was a great contact at a prestigious magazine so I couldn’t complain.

By the way, at the time I never thought of any of this in the context I just laid out. This story happened two decades ago, and for twenty years I always said, “Roberto got the job and not me.” I never said or thought, “They gave it to a gay Mexican and not me!” for even a second.

While preparing to write this post I was thinking of my real-world examples where being white didn’t count for shit when this popped into my brain. But that’s what it’s like dealing with the left. When you think their way, you are forced to see everyone by skin color and race.

Let me detail the ‘Privilege’ I do feel entitled to.

I have over 30 year’s professional experience in my field, having worked for such institutions as The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal and ABC News. All in New York City at the world headquarters of each, as such my skill level is rather high for what I do and my professional temperament above average, which means I know how to get things done and done quickly.

So, in my opinion, I have ‘skilled seniority privilege.’ This should be taken into account when being considered for a job.

I also hold three different degrees. Two of which are from prestigious east coast design schools with stellar, international reputations. One is a Master’s degree.

So I have ‘higher education privilege.’ After all, what’s the point of getting a Master’s Degree? Isn’t it to make more money and be considered for top level, better-paying positions? Doesn’t having a Master’s degree open doors usually closed to those without one? Those who didn’t work their butts off and go into deep student loan debt to get it!

I have a Master’s degree now, so my earning potential has increased exponentially, right? (insert sarcastic look here)

At my age it is overwhelmingly likely for me to have college-age offspring or kids about to enter higher education, meaning I have dependents and those are NOT cheap. Plenty of friends my age have two or three kids in their late teens attending universities. Imagine their monthly expenses.

So in my book, that means I have the right to claim, ‘dependents privilege.’ Meaning I’ve got a lot of mouths to feed, a legitimate concern that should be considered by any future employer.

You can call me arrogant, but on some level, I just assumed working your entire life entitled you to certain perks in the workplace, like a substantial salary. I was raised to believe this. It’s something I saw as a child. For example, recent medical school graduates make less than doctors with more experience. A skilled surgeon who performed a significant number of operations is in high demand. More so than one with less under his or her belt.

How many times had I heard about the executive CEO of a corporation starting in the mail room as a lowly “office boy,” eventually climbing the corporate ladder until reaching the top? As a child, adults frequently pointed this out to me. Using the term, “climbing the ladder” to instill the concept in me.

You start at the bottom and over the years work your way up. After years of hard work and perseverance, you WILL BE rewarded.

NEWS FLASH: IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!

Do you know what all my so-called “privilege” got me after working hard for 30 years?

Zero.

Zlitch.

Nada.

Nothing.

My skill level and experience mean absolutely nothing now when applying for a job. After all, why pay me what I’m worth when you could get three or four interns for nothing? And sure, they probably can’t do the job as well as I can but so what? We’ll fire them after three months and try a new batch. Eventually one has to work out, right?

Or why pay a well-trained American citizen anything close to minimum wage when you can outsource the work to Taiwan or India? Who cares what that is doing to our country!

My Master’s degree is a joke. Don’t even get me started. The only thing it qualifies me to do is teach more rubes dumb enough to go to college or university so they can rack up student loan debt, which is why the thought of teaching makes me SICK!

And having a family to feed and support? Do you know what the last straight, white male with hair as gray as mine and a beard as white as mine offered me at the end of the latest job interview I politely sat through?

$45K a year!

“We might do $50K for the right person.” He said.

$45K a year?! The last time I made $45K a year was 1994 when I was 28 years old with no dependents! Hey, Mr. Fellow Straight White Christian Male, ever hear of inflation before?! Do the math on what $45K a year gets you in 2019 as opposed to 1994 when gas was $1.56 per gallon!

THAT SALARY WOULD QUALIFY ME AND MY KIDS FOR FOOD STAMPS!!!!!!

There’s no way I’d qualify for a mortgage with that paycheck. What bank would give me one? How would I pay my bills? I live in an expensive west coast city, one that was super cheap to live in five years ago when I moved here. In fact, that’s precisely why I moved here! Because the cost of living was reasonable! Is it my fault that changed?! Is it my fault thousands of stupid WHITE Californians fled their disaster of a state and flooded into mine? Driving the cost of everything through the roof!

Now I’ve been displaced by other white people!

Hey! How’s that for you? Between skilled seniority privilege, higher education privilege, dependents privilege and of course, the almighty WHITE PRIVILEGE you know what I have to show for it?

A great, big pile of NOTHING!!! I haven’t had a raise in over twenty years!

I find it ironic I never even heard the term, “white privilege” until President Obama’s second term in office. The first black president. A man who came from a broken home without any privilege at all became the most powerful man in the world. How did a black man without white privilege rise to such heights of success? The very fact he was a two-term president defeats the entire assertion white privilege exists!

I’ve got a question for you;

In America, can a black kid whose father was a Muslim immigrant from Africa, a product of divorce, raised by a single mom without a wealthy, powerful family grow up to sit in the Oval Office of the White House? The people who believe in white privilege would give you a resounding “No!”

But Barack Obama did it.

How’s that for white privilege?

Let’s be honest here, do you know what “white privilege” really is? It’s the Socialist Democrats answer to the question black America asks them;

“Hey, we’ve had sixty years of social programs, affirmative action, diversity, forced busing, redistricting, social engineering, black and white buddy films, white guilt, progressive education in our public schools and the almighty ‘War on Poverty’ launched by LBJ in the 1960s and we are worse off than ever before! You guaranteed the eradication of poverty if we just listened to you and implemented all these programs, so we did. But now there are more poor people than before and infinitely more misery! Hey Democrats, why is that? What happened? Why didn’t your ideas work?”

Democrat answer: “Oh, um, ah…………. White privilege! Yah! That’s it!”
