He posted this in my "white versus black suicide" post, but i think his response deserves it's own thread!
Black people go through more stress my ass. This is the thing that has always made me laugh that some black people think white people have easy lives.
You really have no idea what of pressure it is to be white. You have no idea what type of pressure your own family puts on you. You have no idea what the fuck you're even talking about half the time. Try walking into your extended blue collar family house and have them speak about you like some "black sheep" outsider because you're not doing things the way it is expected.
Whenever I hear black people talk about white people, I laugh. Especially when I hear the term "white privelege". A total horseshit term for all but the wealthiest whites in the world. And wealthy blacks the same.
You want to know what it is to be a white male?
You're having money problems? Why? What did you do wrong? Why are fucking up? No. I can't help. Help yourself and your family. Oh, you need government help? You're a white male. You take care of yourself. There is no government help for white males unless you're a corporate leader that needs big welfare money because he fucked up his business.
You don't have a job? You're a scumbag. You're a lazy scumbag. Work or go live on the street. Real men work. Period. There are no excuses. Get a job and shut the fuck up. Show up to work sick. Show up to work no matter what is wrong with you.You don't show up, you're fired. You don't do the work we expect, you don't kiss up right, you don't get along with the boss, no advancement. No, I don't fucking care what your excuses are.
You're burned out and depressed. Real men don't get burned out and depressed. That's just life. You show up, you work, you die. That's life for a white man. It's what expected of him.
I have no clue where black people get the idea from they have more stress than white folk. No clue why they think white folk have it easy. And as far being enslaved, study some history. White people were enslaved for many, many years. It was called being a peasant in Europe or endentured servitude. And in Rome, it was just straight up slavery.
Ridiculous notions black folk have of whites. Which is why it is getting so hard to take anything coming from a black person's mouth seriously when they say stupid shit like black people experience more stress or white people wouldn't have survived slavery.
White people aka Europeans already survived slavery, plagues, multiple internal wars, invasions, famine, invasian of new lands, and all types of shit that every ethnic group on this planet has experienced. They still survive all the bullshit 90% of whites that aren't born into money have to experience. Like white people get automatic college degrees and 80 k a year jobs for their skin color. What a fucking joke idea some blacks have of being white.
Whites put a lot of stress on their own. A ton. I can understand why the suicide rates differ for reasons other than just population size differences. Blacks tend to take a lot of the things that destroy whites as simply part of life. Like losing your job or money as a white male is huge and can drive a motherfucker to suicide. Because white males especially have no sympathy from their own in that situation, get almost no help from the government or otherwise, and are expected to "man up" and make sure they stay on top of it. If they can't keep up, live on the street or kill yourself. Because a white male on wellfare is viewed as one of the lowest forms of life. It's more respectable to be a white criminal than a white male getting money from the government.
I don't imagine many blacks understand the pressure white males get from their own because they're not in that group. So they don't know what white males do to each other keep the status quo in line. So what the fuck ever thinking it is easy being a white male. I've lived with that pressure my whole fucking life. I don't even go around my extended family most of the time because I don't want to hear their shit because I'm not doing things the middle class white way. They won't say it direclty, just sad looks or a general look of not understanding. Smug and arrogant.
I know most white families are this way. Wake the fuck up to reality. White males are one of the highest stressed groups in the nation. Which is why they snap and kill people, snap and kill themselves, and snap and do crazy shit. Emotional repression is huge amongst white males. Talking about your feelings almost unheard of and certainly not encouraged. And if you can't support yourself as a white male in America, don't even hold your head up because all the other white males will be looking at you like you're a chump.
And you can't fall back on skin color, though I hear more and more talk about affirmative action costing white males their jobs. So maybe white males will be able to talk the government into giving them help because they're being discriminated against and that will help alleviate some of their stress.
