Casey Anthony and Big Guys vs. Little Guys

Let's get racial for a minute.  There is some similarity between this recent acquittal and the acquittal of the police who were accused of brutalizing Rodney King.  There is a group of people, I might argue- mostly white people, who are just as upset today as black people were in 1992.

Well, my question is, why didn't we see riots, looting and violence, in reaction to the Casey Anthony verdict, like we saw in L.A. back then?

I believe the answer may lie in this false enmity that, unfortunately, is still felt by the little guy for the big guy; the minority for the majority; this hatred for "the man."

When you've convinced yourself you're picked on, a victim, powerless, it's easy to rationalize bad behavior.  Maybe this is why people of color commit, as a percentage of the entire population, such a disproportionate number of the crimes.

Well, life has progressively become more challenging for white males as we have been discriminated against in recent decades.  And, again, we haven't seen an uptick in violence or crime from our population.

You can call a white man any number of names: cracker, honkey; but I'm afraid to even properly spell ni66er on my blog for fear of being shut down.  You can make TV shows or movies where the white guy is routinely stereotyped as the dork or the bad guy.  We all know white men can't jump or sing or dance and that they have no rhythm.  Yet we don't care.  Go ahead and call names, portray us however you want.  As Rush says, you can't live for other people.  You have to be you.  No one will know whether he likes you if you're not you.  Who cares what anybody thinks?

Why do none of these portrayals or name calling bother white guys?  Maybe it's because we don't have racial advocates working day and night to make sure we retain our victim status and to make sure others are held back so we can advance because we can't do it for ourselves.  And to make sure we always have an excuse, a scapegoat if we don't succeed.

Well, people of color, women, gay people, you can have your victim status.  I want nothing to do with it.  No thanks.  I can do it on my own.  But you know what?  So can you.  Wake up.  There was a time when you were oppressed.  In some ways you're still oppressed.  But you're being done no favors by all of the advocates and politically correct crap that's out there.  You're better than that.

And the degree to which you allow your way, your pain to be eased is the degree to which you weaken yourself.  "No pain, no gain" isn't just for weightlifters.  And, enough with the crime already.  It hurts you more than anyone else and gains you nothing.  You, too, are God's sons and daughters.  We all need to live up to that.
