If old white men feel maligned, they should take their own advice to minorities.

70. that is BS

It has always been the distraction used by those receiving a truth that is uncomfortable, to whine about how that truth is presented and that that truth may be taken as offensive therefore whining is justified. No matter the offense the oppressed may be responding to. While the demographic described is still in a position to ignore the truth of their privilege and racism, which they typically do, they always tell the oppressed group, go back rewrite and present it again and I might just read it. No change, just read. Usually it's something like, "you can't call a asshole an asshole even if the asshole is an asshole because you might offend them and they won't want to change. So change the wording so I don't feel the hate. BS, the whiner never has changed the wording and/or meaning while denigrating minorities and women. Wouldn't have changed anyway. The old/middle white male demographic has had generations to change and accept everyone as an equal. THEY HAVE NOT WANTED EQUALITY and a lot still don't. As evidenced by old and middle demographic examples now running rampant in the halls of Congress, on the Supreme Court and definitely in state and local politics. Turning back voting rights that for the most part will affect minorities, turning back civil rights, same effect, "post racial society" according to one of those old white men on the SCOTUS who is in the majority is now the order of the day. BS!!!!!! Gender rights under a most vicious attack not seen since ROEvsWADE. An asshole is an asshole. Unless they want to change and do change they are an asshole..... You talk about broad brushes, just go to Discussionist.com, you'll find a lot of broad brush from the group under discussion and that are the reason for this OP. All gays, all blacks, all minorities, all women are broad stroked by the rampant racism, bigotry and misogyny that is still very evident and perpetrated by old, middle and young white males in this american society of 2014. Sometime I think the only solution will be the dying off of a certain breed of human being that finds it impossible to live in peace and equality with their neighbor no matter the superficial differences.
