Being Prejudice On White Men?

[MystieRains]

Can this really be done? I was reading through the Critical Board (like I’ve been doing lately. I barely get an intellectual conversation with another human being now, and reading others help to keep me on my toes) and to quote one of Jewpin’s comment was

“But the White man f*cked everything up. I blame the white man.”

A lot of people do. I know how my mother does, and lots of minorities do also. Slavery and the exploiting of minorities, barely existing women’s status, they were great horrible things in the past, and of course exist this way now. Maybe some things less than more, but it’s still there. But now there’s plenty of talking out about it. Rising up from it. There are laws against it. Programs fighting it. And lots of blaming.

I remember two of my male friends complain on how there’s been too much of this. Not on how it’s wrong, but how a lot of the tables have turned. It makes me wonder if they’re true. Scholarships for instance, there are plenty of groups that single just for Blacks, Latinos, Women, and such. Not one for the basic white guy. If they did, they’d be a lawsuit so fast it’d make your head spin. And how if women say something against men it’s perfectly fine, but if a man says something against a women, it can be reviewed as a sexist comment, and be serious consequences.

A lot of men say we’re taking this too far, and a lot of others are saying it’s not being taken far enough. It brings up the idea ‘are people being prejudice upon the common white guy?’ I don’t know, I’m no where near it. I can see where both sides are coming from. Is it fair considering the past that many people had to live with, or is it not fair to be ‘taking it out on later generations’ and “trying to make us constantly grovel all the time and make us feel bad” which is what one of my male friends said.

I hope this doesn’t seem like a stupid topic, but I really am curious. Especially on the guys it directly effects.
