WTF are you angry about? You're on holiday for a week skiing!!!!
:furious

Excellent point!

I like the archetype except for :
"His background might be Italian, English, Polish, German, Slavic, Irish, or Russian, and he might have Cherokee, Mexican, or Puerto Rican mixed in, but he considers himself a white American."
-
Holden are you white? I can relate to the Angry White Man (though not being old enough to have done all he's done), but why consider yourself "white", when you're not? Why would you have to be white to be everything else described in the article?
Hehe caught you before the deletion. It's a good article nonetheless.
-
He loves Hank. He must be white. And angry.
-
Why would you have to be white to be everything else described in the article?
You don't have to be white to be that man in the article. You don't have to be angry. You don't even have to be a man. You just have to be law abiding, hard working tax paying citizen who gets on with their life to the best of their ability and who simply wants to be left alone to get on with it. That is not an exclusively male or white attitude or indeed American attitude.
Why does everything have to couched in terms of race and sex?
It always irritates when white men take on the victim mentality. The reality is that white men for the most part own and run the world. They have most of the money and the power. The fast cars, fast women, fast jets, islands and fat bank accounts. (Not this white man, sadly) Yet we are a minority. Funny that :rolleyes:
White men as victims.................pulee eze!
-
I agree that you don't have to be white, or a man, but being angry definitely helps. I don't think you could do everything the man described has done without an intolerance for trying less than your best, and for suffering less-than-satisfactory state of things.
-
I liked it.
I think the white man reference is more cultural than racial. There a lots of many race types in this country that fit that. Its the type of man, not his color.

You obviously didn't really read the article. This is not white man as victim, this is white man as fed up with the BS of victimhood, identity politics, liberal policies and being painted as a racist, homophobe, sexist jerk just because he doesn't agree with PC agendas.
-
the angry white man is a dying breed.
He is being outbred and outvoted by blue metrosexuals and femanazis.
The liberals are doing everything in their power to make sure that he is unable to pass on his thinking or skills to his offspring.

Women either love him or hate him, but they know he’s a man, not a dishrag. If they’re looking for someone to walk all over, they’ve got the wrong guy. He stands up straight, opens doors for women and says “Yes, sir” and “No, ma’am.”
:)

Yup. bout sums it up perfectly

Nice to see there is a real woman left in the world. (thats meant as a compliment)
My brother in law summed it up perfectly when he mentioned ot me in convarsation one day.
"Alot of todays women want a husband. But dont want a man."
Normally I think the guy is an arse.
But every once in a while we see eye to eye.
This was one of those rare occasions

Angry White Man
(Original Words and Lyrics "Angry Young Man" by Billy Joel
Additional Lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2007)
There's a place on the air for the angry white man,
With his working class act and his immigrant ban.
He refuses to think. He refuses to see.
He always believes he's the best that can be.
And he's proud of his views and the beatings he takes.
And he whines and he cries as he lays out the stakes.
And he'll likely be known as the Angry White Man.
Give a forum or two to the angry white man,
With a beef for the world and a hate for his land.
He was called on his lies but he misunderstood.
It's a comfort to know that his critics are good.
And he sits in a room with a microphone on.
And he wishes the non-Christian people were gone.
And he'll likely be known as the Angry White Man.
I believe he's reached the stage
Of thinking he's some kind of sage.
He thinks that racial purity's a noble fight.
I still believe in causes, too,
And think I'm just as good as you.
His show goes on no matter if he's wrong or right.
And there's somehow a place for the angry white man
With his head full of crap and his fear quite at hand.
And he's never been able to see his mistakes,
So he can't understand why they call him a fake.
But his honor's in doubt and his courage as well,
And he rants and he lies and he's stupid as hell.
And he'll go to his grave as an Angry White Man

And the thought process of the individual that wrote those parody lyrics sandman, are the reason for the article in the first post.
edit: And the cycle continues.

One good farce deserves another. ;)

Congrats, you win the most stupid post this week. All white men are the same
are they?

Hmm, I think your post out-stupids mine. Show me where I say all white men are the same?

We should form a secret society.... S.A.W.M

I liked the article. I see some truth in it and I see where there could be some exageration but in general it sums up feelings I can agree with.
Considering it's bashing of Hillary Clinton it surprised me that you posted it RPM.

When have I ever been a supporter of Hillary? I think she's got a couple good ideas, but no way am I ever voting for her.
Like I said in another thread, I'm a devout "all over the ballot" voter.

Ripping off Billy Joel looks more like a desperate attempt by an angry liberal than an accurate accounting. His new lyrics reflect nothing but his own liberal and bigotted opinion of conservatives. He's a bigot because he treats members of a group (conservatives) with hatred and intolerance. If a conservative disagrees with him he'll call the conservative a racist, sexist, homophobe or zenophobe. Much easier than actually arguing a point with intelligence. It's funny how libs claim to be the "tolerant" ones yet become apoplectic when someone disagrees with them.

billy joel is angry cause he is a no talent dwarf now instead of a no talent dwarf with a few hits like he used to be.
Someone else said it better tho.. the lyrics... ghey.
"immigrant ban" that one is pretty freaking funny tho.
Not sure I am so much "angry" I do get angry but I do get amused too.. I think the most amusing thing is liberal socialist baiting.. they seem to be the ones who get "angry" when I talk to them.. I am laughing.

I had a dream around the middle of last month. In this dream I was worrying about something but I don't remember what it was. This dream seemed to be interrupted by an external voice that said "everything will change in 11 months".
I think dreams have more than one purpose. Often I think they help us to resolve or deal with problems our awake minds are unable to resolve. Sometimes I think we just play in them in whatever way stikes our fancy. I don't recall ever having a 'prophetic' dream and I don't believe this dream voice was anything other than my subconscious. There is enough turmoil in the world to make thinking something dramtic may happen reasonable to anyone. Still....
