"Angry White Man"

I'm sure that at least you fit SOME of that description. :)

Well, you're right; there are quite a few things actually. I'm no victim; I'm no homosexual; and I'm no metrosexual. Heck, I don't even LIKE cities, say nothing about feeling attraction for them. :grin01:
 
So this guy "knows that his wife is more emotional than rational, and he guides the family in a rational manner."

But, when he doesn't want to vote for Mrs. Clinton, it's "not that she is a woman"?

Ok, perhaps he loathes her personally, but the implication in that paragraph is that he WOULD vote for another woman, just not Mrs. Clinton. But, would he really? It seems that if he knows his wife is more emotional than rational and the family needs to be guided by his rational hand, he wouldn't put the whole COUNTRY in the hands of a woman, either. Because after all, a decision to let the country be guided by an more emotional that rational woman wouldn't be rational, would it?

So maybe this angry white man isn't racist, but he sure seems misogynist to me. But I guess they didn't explicitly say he wasn't. :shrugs:
 
I don't know, his take on Katrina victims seemed a bit hard.
The true beauty of America and democracy is that everybody can believe as they will without fear of persecution or retaliation.

No his view on Katrina is 100% spot on. Guess that makes me an angry white man, eh? ;)
 
I guess so. ;) I just don't see where the victim's intelligence has anything to do with the fact a hurricane just flooded your house. And since most of the victims were black people it struck me as a subtle racist jab.
 
"Nobody like him drowned in Hurricane Katrina — he got his people together and got the hell out, then went back in to rescue those too helpless and stupid to help themselves, often as a police officer, a National Guard soldier or a volunteer firefighter."

So I guess no Angry White Men drowned in Katrina. That was mighty considerate of that hurricane wasn't it? Not to mention the fact all those Angry White Men got to be heroes!

You do realize that 'angry white man' doesn't actually mean an angry white man, right?

Perhaps you should take a spin to Cav's forum and read his take on Hurricane Katrina. You can read about people shooting at US Army helicopters bringing in water, food and supplies. Google it and see all the images of people looting stores for beer while the water is up to their chest.

Yeah, the intelligent people listened to the evacuation order and left.

The people that did the looting and pillaging deserved to drown in that cesspool. However, the elderly people in the nursing homes that were abandoned by the employees did not. Kids, the elderly, people that are so destitute that they have no conceivable way of leaving. They're deaths had very little to do with there own intelligence. I'm not saying every person should have been saved by Captain America. People are going to die in these things. It happens. But to say only the stupid died is veiled racism.

What I really wanted to say, I said in the first post I made and my comment about democracy. People like Joe and people like me are allowed to have differing views without having to worry about someone kicking down our door in the middle of the night. That's a good thing.

For now......;)
 
I am not a raciest. I have no use for people who are. But I've got to side with Susan's husband and father on this one. I'm proud to be an angry white man. I really hope angry white men have a loud voice in this election. We can't afford 4 years of poor me victims.

No offense desertanimal but that seems a bit of a leap. My wife is absolutely more emotional but that in noway equates to hatred or mistrust. In fact I trust her and love her unequivocally.
 
Im normally an Angry White Man, but i've just got out of a nice temperate bath so im more an angry pinky-red man, With luscious conditioned hair.

Can i still play in this thread? :shrugs:
 
Oh and after reading through the article properly, im only an angry white man in the sense that im (Generally) white and (Generally) angry! Don't agree with some of the stuff written in the article.

That's what I was thinking the whole time. Also that I don't know anyone like that. In fact... that mental image scares the living out of me.
