“In short order, I was made a columnist — BUT STILL”
-
-
-
"but still" is the mating call of the nebulously upset white man
-
It’s the new “well, actually”.
-
Well, actually

Did he ever get his chance to cry or has he been silent all these years until now?

*climbs on soapbox* BTW his 3rd sentence "...you would think I’ve been sitting on a trust fund " illustrates why IMO "privilege" should be replaced by "shield". It's not what we WM have, as much as its what we don't have to deal with.
-
I've explained for years that privilege is something white kids think of as a bonus: watching tv on a school night, for example. We never discuss privilege as the absence of something. Like the absence of fear: knowing when you call the cops they are likely not to kill you.
-
So, in other words, it's kind of like I'm "shielded" from worrying about cops killing me when I call them? And the main if not only thing us white adults think privilege means is $$$. It's an unwinnable argument.

Ha! He doesn't get that bosses lie to white guys rather than saying "she was better for this job than you." Bosses want guys angry with a coworker, not with them. Millions of guys with grudges against women, POC, because bosses lie.
-
Seriously, the boss could've just said, "She has a family to support."

He can only say that because we don't build separate cemeteries for women who die in childbirth
-
We also don't build cemeteries for all the civilians who perish in war zones due to crossfire, starvation and disease. And last I checked, at least half of them are women. Probably more.
-
Or the people whose healthcare and social services are starved by unfunded wars and a bloated military budget.

Good god that was the most clueless manifesto of garbage I've ever read. I love how he recounts vivid examples of race and gender discrimination, then says, but I was passed over in the final interview stage for this one job then immediately got another job, so I'm a victim too.
-
I've been passed over for the same reason, and I have no problem with it
-
I almost threw up reading that article.
