I'm a white man. I understand what this guy is saying. I'm not saying he's wrong in feeling this way.
Our culture has actively sought to diminish men. Our culture has actively sought to demonize lighter skin colors. I feel the discrimination in my own life after years of watching people on TV, in the classroom, and in the Oval Office vilify people who look like me. I know what it feels like to grow up in a system designed to make boys into good little girls.
But if we obsess on that frustration and spend our time withdrawing into our hollow shells?
That's poison.
Millions of young men are injecting this poison directly into their veins. Society doesn't want them, is disgusted by them, and uses them as the standard for what not to be, so they respond by detaching and numbing themselves, leaving completely, or establishing their own little kingdoms.
This self-defeatist, "everyone is against us so why try" attitude is the exact type of victimization culture that worked its way into the black community in America, causing devastating harm and generations of fatherlessness and poverty. It's frustration that is never turned into any productive action and festers until all the destructive energy lets loose.
You believe in the greatness of your forefathers? Well good, but you are not them.
They faced adversity and persecution that you can't even dream of. The U.S. government taxing you and demonizing whiteness is oppressive, yes, but not a fraction of the hardships of those who "conquered kingdoms, administered justice ... shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies."
Through their struggles they built empires, fleets, culture, and cathedrals.
What are you doing about it, oh "second-class" white man?
If you want to be like those whose shoulders you stand on, imitate their response to the hatred and persecution and difficulties they lived through. Their governments taxed them, seized their property, forced their sons into wars, and burned them at the stake for their beliefs. Men who lived only miles from each other were sworn enemies with centuries of hatred and war. Those who tried to sue for peace were often "destitute, persecuted and mistreated — the world was not worthy of them."
What made America exceptional was her obedience to God and the absolute refusal of her citizens to be victims. No matter their circumstances, they rose above them. Instead of embracing victimhood, which only made them political pawns to kings who knew how to pit tribes and collectives against each other, they united around a common vision to make a new world - a world that started with homes and gardens and built up from there.
So stop your whining. Stop complaining. Rejoice in your suffering. And love.
See, the Left has no love.
It boldly proclaims it has diversity, equity, and inclusion. It loudly yells that "love is love."
But it doesn't actually know what love is.
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
You want to be the solution to the mess we are in - the mess of feminist, Marxist, woke rot that your fathers left you?
Pick up your shovel. Get to work. Fix what you can in the small radius around you.
And when they see what you're building and hate you for it, defend what is good and pray for those who persecute you.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
I know your frustration. I feel it myself.
But festering in that frustration and becoming the very monster you once swore to destroy? Don't let Satan do that to you.
- If you hope to find a good woman to marry, pray to God and look for her. Become a good man that a good woman would want to marry.
- If you want to provide for her, pray to God and work hard so that you have as much as you need to survive. I have 4 children on a single income: God has always provided exactly what we need.
Nothing will change by withdrawing from the world and complaining about it. Obey God, be cheerful, work hard, and love your enemies. Show them what a man looks like.
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
