It's time for Dangit2019 to once again whine about his Texan compatriots! Today's topic is: why white, heterosexual, upper middle class, Christian males (like myself) need to shut the hell up when it comes time to run the persecution train.
It's been a small nuisance for the past few years whenever I see an E-mail or facebook talking about the government threatening the Christian church or giving more money to minorities. A small nuisance, but I always brushed it off because my younger mind thought that they're had to be at least some reality backing that up.
However, it seems like the older I get, the more fed up I am with my fellow first world-ers submitting their grievances over people not speaking English, or a scholarship being given exclusively to Native Americans. They always say this as if it is some complete injustice that the small, poor, white people are having to deal with the grunt work left behind.
Do I really have to explain why this is stupid? We haven't been the universal bad guys, but we've never exclusively been the victims. Why do people keep insisting that English is the "official language"? It's the most commonly used in the nation, but it's not at all official. In fact, if people coming here should speak the "language of the land", why aren't we speaking in Native American languages?
It just annoys the crap out of me. Mainly because it's ignorant tripe, but also because it captures the nature of useless bitching that America's culture seems to keep breeding. It seems that us Americans can have it all, but we'll still be in complete angst and brooding because, well, angst and brooding is cool now, I guess. We don't have problems, and yet we make some anyway, because if life is a story, and we're the heroes, than there has to be a conflict...even if there isn't.
Now, this isn't to insinuate that all white Americans are without problems, that would be overgeneralizing en masse, what I'm saying is that those without serious problems need to realize that maybe they shoulod just take things in instead of spouting shit out.
My question is the general "what are your thoughts" or perhaps your personal experiences with this mind set.
