Trump and his 'angry white men'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The other day, I was trying to think of the last time I heard the words “white men” uttered in a positive way. I came up blank.

The context for those two words is just about always negative. Sometimes people who think white guys are the problem—no matter what the problem might be—throw in the word “angry.” And “angry white men” then becomes an easy way to dismiss even legitimate concerns and grievances by white men.

A female Rutgers professor once wrote that mass murder was the result of “white male privilege.” The website Gawker once composed a list of the “worst 100 white men.”

Barack Obama said of Judge Merrick Garland, his nominee to the Supreme Court, “Yeah, he’s a white guy, but he’s a really outstanding jurist. Sorry.”

OK, he was kidding. But imagine if some chucklehead came up with a list of the “Worst 100 Black Men.” Or if some white male conservative politician nominated a like-minded African-American to the bench and said, “Yeah, he’s a black guy, but he’s a really outstanding jurist.”

This is not a woe-is-me sob story. I understand that the history of white men in America is vastly different from the history of black men or women of any color. And taking shots at rich white guys is like throwing spitballs at a battleship.'
