So White Guys…what’s up? Why all the anger?

[OddBeMe]

Why all the anger? Whites are 78% of the population. White men are vast majority of CEOs. So what’s got your balls in a twist?

“It’s just…just…you wouldn’t understand!”

Wow, maybe it’s just the first wave of idiots. But I’m tired of responding to people who don’t get the Q…

[Oigit]

I'm a white guy and logically I don't see where a lot of the anger is coming from. But I do have an idea. Seems like people are falling into media related rabbit holes. Lets say a white guy starts reading and watching media about why white men should be angry. They start taking in more media based on the topic and more or less start surround themselves with it. It makes scenes that they would become angry themselves.

It seems like politics can be a good example of this as well. Because a lot of times it seems to breed anger inside people on both sides of the political isle. That anger can outright breed conflict on both sides as well. So if you find yourself getting angry when focusing on a given subject seems like taking a break from it is the best course of action is to take a break from it.

[Lliam]

Exactly, Oigit. The question didn't arise out of personal observation. It was planted there by Democrat media sources. Liberals thrive on being fearful, angry, and pointing fingers because that's how they are being programmed.

It's like the large poll that was conducted a few years ago in which most respondents believed that violence was increasing even though, in reality, violence had been decreasing. But people got their impressions from mainstream media. They didn't observe violence themselves or in their neighborhoods but believed it was everywhere else.

[Oigit]

@Lliam The flip side could be true as well. People on the right could fully believe that: "Liberals thrive on being fearful, angry, and pointing fingers because that's how they are being programmed." because they are surrounding themselves with media that is telling them this.

I stopped paying attention to politics and political media. When I try to pay attention I tend to get really worried and quickly start laughing. Because its like watching a massive group of people acting like Alex Jones on both sides.

[Lliam]

I agree, Oigit. Anyone who consumes msm is mind fucked. It's the purpose of msm. After all, the same people who control it benefit from the mind fuckery.

I got past political and ideological identity years ago. I used to think my values would be described as strongly liberal. My values haven't changed. I definitely don't identify as conservative. But liberalism has become more like belonging to a political party with defined planks that cannot be deviated from, so I no longer want anything to do with the label. I think for myself and develop independent opinions on individual issues, regardless of who agrees.

[Oigit]

@Lliam Politics causes a lot of frustration for me and that is the big reasons I disconnected. Also I can't help but see a lot of hypocrisy in it. Such as party A is sinking a lot of money in a state election to get their candidate elected. Party B is sinking money into the same state election to keep their representative in office. Part A is quick to defend their actions and call party B out for sinking money into the election. Party B does the same. It does not matter how both parties justify their actions and demonize the other side. Both parties are still using money to influence the result of a election in the state. Using money to influence the outcome of any given election is corrupting a election at any level. Both party A and B are guilty of it.

[CharlesScene]

I am gonna try my best to match my answer to the information given to me in your question.

I will say that, being a CEO of a big company is a standard based on the past, Men have to be the bread winners, and have great careers and can lead to a lot of stress.

These lessons are still taught to young white men to this day and maybe that can make people angry or upset as to that's not the reality of our society anymore and or doesn't align with personal interest and goals.

In the end, everybody is different, no matter, what or who you are. People can be angry about anything and just being a CEO of a fortune 500 company won't solve those issues.

[Anonymous]

This type of questions make me wonder..
Do you think a white guy will sit there and wonder omg how can I love my life everyone hates me for being white? Like do you think a typical white men gives a shit? If they did we wouldn’t be here nowadays. Or Europe even existed. Why do you think they made Floyd life story that big.. like a human being as Floyd was sacrificed to make the world more “black”! Oh sorry sheep I forgot your sleeping
This earth is making a European girl Lol to the moon and back ! Fuck ya all I’m making 7 pale babies

[OddBeMe]

Are you on crack? Please don’t have any children… better for all if you don’t.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes I’m in crack
Too late I’m
Having babies already

[OddBeMe]

Great. More of my taxes gone. Your welcome.

[WowwGirl]

🤣🤣🤣

[Ninani]

Are you asking about white guys in general or white male CEOs? Are all white guys angry or is it only the ones who are CEOs? And are all CEOs angry or is that just the white guys? Where's the statistic on this? Sounds like a lot of racism and hot air.

[OddBeMe]

There’s an obvious anger from white males. Obvi not all. But a good portion.

[Ninani]

@OddBeMe what do you base that on?

[OddBeMe]

their anger...

[Ninani]

@OddBeMe riiight, so it's just your own observation is it?

[OddBeMe]

yes, and a lot of people discussing it. But sure, I'll leave it to white guys to tell me theyre not angry.

[normalice]

I think it's mostly poor white guys who are angry. Because they are told, due to their race, they should be billionaire CEOs but they aren't.

Or rather, the problem is no one is actually telling them this. The billionaire CEOs are simply saying that liberals are saying it and because liberals have been the boogeyman of the right for decades, the right believe anything that upset them about liberals on command. This is by design, of course, as even though most on the right who talk with those the left end up realizing they agree on pretty much everything, they can't just ignore all the hate and bitterness they had accumulated over the years.

[razzmatazz009]

78% uh no. I don't know where you got that number. Technically white white people makeup 10 to 20% of the world's population. Even in the United States it's not no 78% and not all of them are CEOs bruh That's like saying "what's your problem black people? You got Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington!" That ain't got shit to do with the black people who are struggling. They used to say black people was angry too, they say we have a chip on our shoulder. If you've been hurt by racism that's unfortunate but we all need to move forward.

[HughDogg]

Good point lol... being a white male is great except for having to take blatant racism & sexism from bigots without any censorship on apps like Girls ask Guys.

But we are still the leading preference in terms of what race woman prefer to date on average, so at least I have an increased chance of smashing your mom

[Kitten2Kitten]

I am white, but I don’t know where people get the energy to be so frustrated. Maybe it's how some of us were raised?

Talking about race is a touchy topic for many, though. So I shouldn't write much. Stay chill, guys. Remember, this is the internet!

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I think they are angry and rightfully so because the media i. e. TV shows, movies and commercials over a decade have dedicated themselves to portray white men as clueless buffoons, soft, whiny, effimate and nerdy socially awkward goofballs who get mocked.

It just makes them look very bad socially. Yes, media has enormous power to influence minds even at a subconscious level.

[OddBeMe]

weird because majority of main characters are white. And majority of movies ain’t about buffoons.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

I clearly said TV shows and commercials as well. I watch commercials a lot when I watched TV years ago.

White men seem to always be portrayed as morons that can't drive, can't fix a easy pipe in the bathroom etc. It makes them look pathetic.

[OddBeMe]

Boo hoo, what’s really bothering you? Don’t like to give rights to others?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

What rights? No man of any ethnicity desires to be portrayed in the media like a little moron, effimate and homosexual weirdos.

[Anonymous]

Imagine being shocked that the majority of CEOs in a country are the race that makes up the majority of the population.

This is like going to a place like Korea and wondering why all of the actors, models or other jobs that present themselves to the public are all Korean.

[OddBeMe]

Don’t think you’re understanding the question. Read first, then waste my time.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't see where the link of this and anger. I think of this being that because white people make up so much of the population, you're going to see more white CEOs. Same as if I were to go to a country with any other race as the majority, I'm going to see more of that race around. I don't see the problem here.

[OddBeMe]

So where do you think the anger is coming from?

[Opinion Owner]

In terms of them becoming CEOs, I don't see why anger needs to be involved.

[OddBeMe]

omg, I shouldn't have mentioned the CEOs. I just watned to show whites still run the world.

What's the actual problem then?

[Opinion Owner]

So what if they are? Does the fact that they happen to be white make them tyrants?

[OddBeMe]

No. Just that all the opportunities are white’s. So why the anger?

[Opinion Owner]

Since when does taking a position of leadership have any indication of anger?

[OddBeMe]

i think you're incredibly confused. Go back to yelling at coloreds.

[Opinion Owner]

How about you clear up my confusion instead of assuming I'm a racist for being confused of your logic that taking a position of leadership is synonymous with anger.

[AviatorTom]

What anger? All your graph shows is that there is a declining number of white male CEOs. That is perfectly understandable because there is an increasing number of female and non-white CEOs.

What's the problem? There isn't one!

[OddBeMe]

Precisely. So why are white dudes so upset?

[AviatorTom]

Who says they're upset?

[OddBeMe]

The other posts here. Everywhere else..

[AviatorTom]

"Everywhere" is a pretty strong term. Show us the evidence please.

[OddBeMe]

www.cnn.com/.../index.html

[AviatorTom]

How about something that's not from a black person at biased liberal CNN whose "Full Bio" on his CNN page shows nothing?

[OddBeMe]

Sorry, I just see content not race.

[Anonymous]

What is the point of this question? We are judging people based on the level of melanin in their bodies now?

[OddBeMe]

Am I judging?

[Opinion Owner]

Pretty much, yes. What does skin color has to do with any of this? You say you hate Republicans, but then you go and make a generalized post, and when i point it out you go: "nope, only reps do that". Istg, both dems and reps are the same 😂

[OddBeMe]

You’re right it’s pretty generalized, but there is some anger in white men. And I’m trying to understand it is all.

[Opinion Owner]

Weird, if you want to "understand" it, then dont go around bashing them.

[OddBeMe]

It’s how I get their attention.

[Opinion Owner]

You can get attention by genuinely asking a question that ain't passive aggressive

[OddBeMe]

Not really but maybe answer the fcking question or leave.

See? Got your attention, huh?

[Opinion Owner]

Not really 😂

I ain't gonna get mad about some dude's attention seeking question. I just gave you some tips on perhaps how to garner the attention of people. And remember, you're white as well

[OddBeMe]

So your tip was, “just ask the question”. Thanks for wasting my time.

[Opinion Owner]

Nope, i just said, stop bashing white men and try to ask a question that doesn't come off as passive aggressive

[OddBeMe]

Why are you such a snow flake? Did I say anything false about angry white boys?

[Opinion Owner]

First off, im neither white nor a man, so im not really offended by it
Second of all, i do agree that i have come across *some* white guys who are racist af, but i have come across people of other ethnicities who were racist as well.

Also, damn, yeah, just googled it, 72% of the US is white. But what can they do about it? A person cannot help being born as a particular ethnicity. What do you suggest we do about it? All are humans, some just haopen to be born with a pale skin

[OddBeMe]

See? We’re getting somewhere. Yet you started out so angry. Yes, race is arbitrary and ridiculous. Yet still important because so much beliefs are based off it (wrongly).

[Opinion Owner]

I assure you, i was not angry. Im sorry if it offended you.

I completely agree with you. Race is a social construct and a fucked up concept. People who still believe in the existence of different "races" are uneducated fools

[Opinion Owner]

Biologically speaking, "races" do not exist among humans. In fact, the word "race" isn't even part of the biological taxonomy. What we wrongly call "races" are simply different phenotypes of the same species.
If such a thing as "race" indeed existed, the differences would be much more drastic.

[Opinion Owner]

In a white majority country like the USA, obviously there would be more white CEOs than that of other ethnicities

[Stoner710]

The fact that y’all’s asses keep saying all white people are racist when we in 2021 had nothing to do with what happened prior to the 1860s or trying to blame white guys for everything

[OddBeMe]

You know no one is saying that. Everyone has tribal urges. And skin color is most prevalent.

[Stoner710]

Of course there saying all white people are racist. Your a liberal living in Texas You live in conservatives America, you’ve clearly how do you been paying attention to Nicole Hannah Jones Robyn D’Angelo Ibram X Kennedy or TYT or vox.

Your correct humans are tribal by nature what make the United States difference it’s we’re tribal by ideology not by race. This is why it’s left vs right here and not black vs white

[OddBeMe]

You’re deluded if you think Americans are somehow different in our non-voluntary tribal urges.

[Stoner710]

We’re the same and different, The next civil war won’t be a war tribalism by race, it will be a war of tribalism based on ideology, much like the PRC vs CCP

[TommyMountainFigure]

I don't like speaking for anyone else but it doesn't bother me. If someone is successful through hard work I couldn't care less what colour or race they are.

Work hard = deserved of reward.

[Halibut]

Ask any any racial group "What's got your balls in a twist?" and the answer will probably be "questions like that."

[OddBeMe]

Why? Can’t defend it?

[Halibut]

Maybe I could defend it... maybe I can't... but I'm not getting involved in this retarded "People of race X pissed me off so I'm going to try to antagonize random people of that race" contest. These sorts of questions could be phrased better... in ways not designed to piss everybody off.

[OddBeMe]

sweet doesn't get attention. And whether you like it or not you're playing the game of ignoring racial inequity.

[Halibut]

How exactly would you know that I'm ignoring racial inequality from that post I made? Oh wait... I already know how you figured that out. It's because you're stupid... and stupid people like to make unwarranted assumptions. Like... yesterday... literally yesterday I made a comment admitting that white privilege exists. Now what in the fuck about my comment implies in any way that I'm ignoring racial inequality?

[Halibut]

I also made a few rather long posts on this website yesterday complaining about racial inequality. I was, to be specific, defending the black people's right to complain for both modern and historical reasons. I also made, I think, a pretty sound argument about how Caucasian power might have come about through their societies being more disease-ridden and lucky, rather than any kind of inherent greater worth ethic or intelligence... so fuck you dumbass.

[Halibut]

Though I think my previous responses were entirely appropriate... I think I will provide a more specific answer to your question: the answer to your question, and whether or not the anger is appropriate, is going to depend entirely on the circumstance we're talking about. Are we talking about situations such as how you spoke to me... in which case you grouped me in with the white people who constantly feel like they're persecuted? Well... in that case my anger was because I'm a very individualistic person, and I dislike nothing more than being categorized into a group I disagree with. I think that fierce individuality is a pretty healthy aspect of culture we should encourage. Or... are we talking about white sensitivity in general? A lot of that, I think, is due to human beings in general being egotistical. We don't like to feel like we're doing things wrong. We instinctively place our needs before those of others. We notice other people's problems less than our own... so, for example, lots of white people will irrationally view the term "cracker" as an equal insult as the N-word... because they'll expand the minor irritation they experience from being called a "cracker" to the point that they imagine it as being as hurtful as the n-word can be to black people... despite it really not bothering them much... and African Americans do similar things. For example, I have long argued that as a white guy, I should be able to reference the N-word. I've never asked to be able to call an existing black person the N-word. I just want to be able to reference it. African Americans often ignore how childish it makes me feel to not even be able to reference the word. It's, at most, a minor irritation for them to hear a white person reference the N-word, but they expand that irritation to the point where they imagine it hurting them more than how childish it makes me feel to have to replace "ni**er" with "the N-word" every time I want to reference it.

[OddBeMe]

See? You’re playing the game. Don’t act like you’re above it.

[Halibut]

And what have either of us learned from this conversation? I know I haven't learned anything... and I've wasted time on it. What we need to do, more than anything else, is take all that anger everybody has... and focus it on people who ignore nuance. The vast majority of conversations I get involved in, I'm immediately thought of as either ultra-left wing, or ultra-right wing. In truth, I'm a fairly authoritarian globalist and I've talked to lots of people all over the place... but instead of talking to me and learning my views, they always want to me to defend the entire left, or entire right, or my entire race... or some other race, or whatever, and it's all a hostility-building waste of time. Now... I think I've changed my mind. I was excessively rude to you. This is what I should have stated. I think that white fragility is certainly a problem to be discussed... cautiously though. Otherwise, you're probably just going to feed the people who believe whites are being discriminated against by any other group... in my opinion. Now... I do listen to people who behave more aggressively than that. For example, I'm a Vaush fan, on Youtube. Vaush is extremely left-wing. He likes calling people Nazis when they're obviously not... just a little bigoted or fascist. He gets attention for that. You and I don't gain anything from getting attention. We'll get disourse, but that won't matter if we don't make intelligent points. We're best off, I think, making intelligent points unless someone is really an ass in my opinion.

[doopayo]

White peoples don’t make up that much of the population

[OddBeMe]

In US.

[doopayo]

Than 72% but this question still makes no sense, like what question where you even asking

[OddBeMe]

Thought it was obvious. Why are they angry?

[Mister_Hangry]

They're angry because the politicians thry voted tonwork for them sold them... And the rest of us... up the fucking river. It ain't just white men who are angry. Im a black man and I'm mad as hell.

[Anonymous]

Anger seems to be one of the only acceptable emotions men can express outwardly. Otherwise they’re called simps.

[TwistedSukuna]

No anger here, I'm just tryna vibe through college and kick my social anxiety

[OddBeMe]

Good for you. Meetups like Toastmasters helped me.

[Subarugirl]

I'm gonna say entitlement, they feel like they deserve more than they really do and feel oppressed for some reason.

[deane88]

I do not care about a person's race, gender or anything else. I just want the person in charge to be the person in charge. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

[OddBeMe]

Ok. So immigration is ok?

[Anonymous]

Anger would be irrelevant to the fraction of CEOs that are white. Why do you think this would be relevant to current discourse?

[OddBeMe]

Because white men feel “under attack” and lack opportunities,.. apparently.

[Opinion Owner]

Opportunities are rather unrelated to white CEO share. You would need a better datapoint to not seem like a taunt/not serious.

[OddBeMe]

Pretty sure there’s linkage.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Personally I'm mad because my Unit's command has been pissing me off lately. Plus I am anxious for my upcoming Mobilization.

[OddBeMe]

thats fair. What's the issue?

[TwoToTooTutu2]

I was forced to be on TV, during a dumb ceremony. I hate ceremonies as well

[OddBeMe]

Do you have the deal that being on tv means you buy the drinks?

[TwoToTooTutu2]

No, the entire unit was on at once. Although I am still mad about the time they made me drink alcohol.

[t-8900]

I got no idea tf is going in right now. Mad at what? I'm not a CEO.

[Juxtapose]

If you are not outraged then you are not paying attention.

Also this is a racist question.

[OddBeMe]

Ahh, about to cancel me? Fckin snowflake.

[Juxtapose]

I don't cancel, just point & laugh xD

Imagine being surprised that the majority of CEOs are white and a majority white country LMFAO!

[Juxtapose]

*in a

[OddBeMe]

Maybe point and explain. Unless you’re afraid it’ll be seen as nonsense.

[Juxtapose]

CEOs & racial equality are not related & white people aren't angry in general.

[OddBeMe]

No there’s an obvious strain of white anger. And CEOs race are directly related to racial equality.

[Juxtapose]

I don't think so.

[OddBeMe]

You ignoring racism is the same as being racist.

[Juxtapose]

No, I have to make a judgment call about somebody purely based on their race.

[OddBeMe]

No ignoring it is making a choice.

[Juxtapose]

I'm not going to tell a racist not to be racist, they have every right to be racist and as long as they don't hold any actual power than who the fuck cares?

[Juxtapose]

*then

[OddBeMe]

I believe MLK thought the same in his apathetic year…

[Juxtapose]

Good for him.
