What if all the white men in this country went on strike?

It wouldn't be very good for the economy, but if they all went on strike for the same cause, it would certainly get a point across. It would be difficult for me to strike, since I am currently a student and plan on becoming a writer or a composer. Or perhaps both, since there is not much money in either unless one is very good or famous, save composition, which pays little no matter what.

I've heard about Atlas Shrugged before, but I've never really known anything about it. Having looked it up, I notice that my initial thoughts of it were wrong, since it is a novel, and I thought it was a purely political book without any elements of a story, as opposed to a novel. Looks rather interesting. I suppose I'll read it, even though it's really, really long. I've read Dostoyevsky, after all, and if one can manage to read his long and rather uneventful novels, one can read just about anything.

There'd be no one to pay them, either.

Ohhh I see, even the CEO's are gonna strike. Funny thing that Atlas Shrugged, it's not realistic.

Why only white men?

Here's my guess: This country was built by white men. The great majority of what is of value was created by white men. White men, to a large extent, defended this country. Yet it is white men who are discriminated against, and held up to ridicule.

Atlas Shrugged was about the men of ability going on strike when they tired of the deal they got.

Again, why should it be white men? Why not disenfranchised white men? or Disenfranchised white people? Or disenfranchised people?

And by the way, that view of history is very limited to say the least.

Who but white males are disfranchised in our society? Certainly not white women - the biggest beneficiaries of "affirmative action".
