    There are demographics that are clearly more violent than white males. Yet they have a class called “angry white male studies”. So what makes white males standout as angry if they are not the most violent demographic in America? This screams racism towards whites.

    Well, angry white males can be scary. And dangerous.

    Have you ever seen a homogenous group of any race other than whites do something like this in America recently?

    And using this forum as an example, who are the angry ones coming online here?

    Angry, or concerned? Whites are the ones being demonized for no just reason. When you single out a race that race obviously will react.

    If that is the title of the class, then that is extremely hilarious.

    But then again, what was that name of that Michael Douglas movie about angry white males? Going Postal was it?

    There might be some truth to that. However, there might also be some justification for whites being 'singled out'.

    Not sure what you mean by "do this" but if you are talking about what liberals claim to be an insurrection (in an attempt to deflect away from the poor performance of Joe Biden), I remember several real insurrections, conducted by a homogenous group other than whites, such as took place in Washington DC and several other cities in 1968, the 1992 insurrection in Los Angeles, etc. I could mention others, but I believe the forum rules only allow two graphics per post and a picture is always worth a thousand words.

    No justification, Just simple racism.

    Well, let's be fair here. The "angry white male" doesn't really have any political power (at least not directly), and doesn't have huge amounts of money.

    So what would really be the point in focusing on them?
    Something tells me these studies are obviously not intended to give the "angry white male" sympathy.

    Yes, I was just watching some videos about this. That's why I said 'recent'.

    There are a lot of racist whites still about in the US. I don't agree that direct confrontation is necessarily the way to go.

    Let's be real. Look at incidents in the US that have required National Guard troops and when these incidents occured. The only post 1992 example of this was the George Floyd riots in 2020 and these riots were not conducted by a homogeneous group.

    Not a lawyer, but I believe the US Code addresses an insurrection with the following language. So I can't see how a simple riot that does not require calling up the National Guard, i.e., a military force, can be call an insurrection. That is without using extreme hyperbole.

    That, whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed, or the execution thereof obstructed, in any state, by combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the marshals by this act, it shall be lawful for the president of the United States to call forth the militia of such state, or of any other state or states, as may be necessary to suppress such combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed; and the use of militia so to be called forth may be continued, if necessary, until the expiration of thirty days after the commencement of the then next session of congress.

    Of course. This has happened how many times the past roughly say… 10 years?

    Anger and violence are two different things. Anger don't always equal violence.

    So, I'm sure your are angry at some of the things Biden has done. Have you resorted to any violence yet ?
    Again, anger doesn't always equal violence.
