I will be the first to admit that my opinion doesn’t count for much. The people it does count for, obviously, read this blog. So for those and for anyone else who has ended up here by accident: here it goes.

Stupidity and ignorance in my day-to-day life will never cease to amaze me. So many people in this world are closed minded and, as a future generation of leaders, will only draw us closer to our own destruction. Case in point, a boy named Andrew in my history class the other day.

We have begun to read “A People’s History of the United States” by Howard Zinn, an internationally acclaimed author. Do you know what Andrew’s first words were when he picked up the book to look at it? “This isn’t going to have any white males in it.” Now the back of the book says, indeed, that the points of views in this book were those of women, immigrants, and african-americans, but instead of embracing this history book for being different he rejected it.

Well guess what, Andrew. The book, though citing minorities, was written by a white male. Howard Zinn, though Jewish, is a white male. I suppose that wouldn’t count though, would it, because in the mind of a 16-year-old republican all white males must also be Christian.

The next thing I knew, in my little table of four, a discussion was sparked. “Did you know that the ‘white male’ is so common that we have the hardest time getting into college?” Oh, is that so dear ignoramus’ I have to share a table with. Could it be, maybe, that our oppression of minorities is finally dying down enough that people besides white males are getting good educations? Could it possibly be that a black woman has better grades than you? A hispanic man? Maybe a korean boy, or a Filipino girl studies harder.

In my personal opinion, the white male is growing jaded, ignorant, and has gone on too long riding the waves of their own egos. Do you know why white males are getting into college less and less? They’re lazy. A white male doesn’t have to struggle in the world, or deal with racism or hate. A white male will ride the tide of privilege.

Now, I know this isn’t true for everyone. I know that a lot of white guys are probably not so well off. I also realize that the generalizations I make aren’t always appropriate, but you have to keep in mind that these rants are geared towards those generalizations. Those people who fit into boxes and stereotypes. The average assholes are the ones I can’t stand.

I sure hope The Rapture is coming, because I know one too many people who need to be judged.
