(3,360 posts)The very worst white males - the white males who lobby hardest for their continued privilege. The white males whose life work is excluding who is subject to constitutional rights. The white males who believe in white males first for everything.
As I've pointed out here before, there's a reason why most polling will show a preference for republicans on issues like the economy and foreign policy even though republicans are terrible on both fronts. We've seen the graphs. I call the that distorted preference the white man's pass. The worst white men get all the passes, all the credit, and the least of the blame.
Not even white male Democrats get the same leeway as the worst white males. It's guilt by association. Look at the difference in how Joe Biden (a competent man with a stutter) was treated regarding his age while a conman nearly just as old who tells one fantastic lie after another was given the white man's pass.
And now for my slideshow
When your group looks like picture A, particularly to other white Americans, you get all the doubt, all the challenge, and most of the blame. When your group looks like picture B you get all the passes, credit, and the least blame.
