Did you know that throughout the entire history of the United States of America, a woman has never been elected president? Never.
I find this information shocking. Not one single woman has ever been elected President of the United States. Appalling.
I mean, who do these women think they are?
Maybe it’s just me, but I think if you want to live in a country and benefit from it, you ought to pitch in. Everybody should do their part, you know? And one of the jobs we need to get done in America is the job of President. I guess these women think they live by different rules than other people. They’re content to just sit idly by while the men of this country do all the presidenting. It’s just sad.
Oh, and apparently, women didn’t even feel it worth their time to vote until 1920! And most haven’t even entered the private workplace since after World War II! (sigh) I tell you, I know it may not be “politically correct” to say so, but it seems women have really not been pulling their weight around here for most of the history of America.
And, you know what? yes, let’s say it: neither have any of the so-called “minorities”, men OR women! In fact, apparently the only people who seem have any desire to pitch in around here are white men.
Happily, the 60’s were an amazing time of awakening for these non- white, non-male peoples. Especially African Americans. Many of them started owning up to their responsibilities. They began to vote more regularly; some have since taken on positions of power in key businesses; and a very few have even graced us with their presence in the House and Senate.
And hey: thanks for finally coming and joining us at the lunch counters, water fountains, and fronts of buses! For too long, white people were being given the cold shoulder by African Americans and other non-white peoples at many of these places. I guess white people just weren’t good enough to eat next to or sit next to! I, for one, was happy to see those social barriers finally broken down.
But we turn again to the sad realities of today. While strides were made in the 60’s and 70’s on behalf of the non-white, non-male people in this country to start pitching in, it seems over time they have again atrophied.
Yes, as the new Millenium dawns, white men seem to be having final say on everything around here again! Ugh! While non-white, non- male people seem to have made advances on the surface, when it comes down to it, white men are still in all the key positions in this country. It’s almost like there’s some invisible force keeping anyone who’s not white and male from making progress in this country. Ha!
But, of course, there’s no “invisible force”, people. If only it were that simple. The non-white, non-male faction of America obviously just doesn’t want to help out. And speaking as a white male of this country, I, for one, am fed up.
I’m fed up with having to make all the major political decisions; I’m fed up with having to take all the positions of power in the private sector; and gosh darn it, I’m just fed up with having to handle all this money in America! Money that the non-white non-male people of this country seem all to willing to generate, but wholly unwilling to keep and manage!
Well, it seems that is our destiny, us white males. We are fated to continue as a silent majority who just keeps a stiff upper lip and trudges on through all this adversity. Just like our fathers and grandfathers before us, and sadly, it seems our sons after us will face the same plight. I guess we’ll just remain in charge of America, be it publicly or simple behind-the-scenes.
(sigh) It’s a tough job. And no one else seems to want to do it.
