Hi readers. Thanks for coming by.
I was talking to the cats and Old Sol this morning about how white women really get screwed in the victimology department. They only have white males they can blame for everything bad that ever happened to women. And even the rights they have were given to them by white males instead of them getting to fight for them and win them, so to speak. If white males hadn’t given them the right to vote they’d never have gotten that right.
Robs hell out of the macho of white-woman victimhood militancy. Creates all manner of demands for illusory constructions of reality.
Hispanic women have it somewhat better. They don’t bother blaming males for their historic problems because they can blame white people, both male and female for their downtrodden-ness. Same as Hispanic males. And militant Hispanic females have a lot more macho as a consequence.
Black females have it next-to-the-best of all possible worlds. Black men, too. They’ve got ancestors who were enslaved by just about everyone, including blacks. So black females don’t put much energy into blaming men. They can blame whites and Hispanics of both genders with impunity. There’s only one group of people anywhere who hasn’t enslaved blacks, and that’s American Indians. Native Americans.
Native Americans have it all. Sheeze, they can blame everyone, including other tribes of Native Americans for their troubles. And Native American women couldn’t give a crap less about blaming men for anything. They’ve got a target-rich environment that includes everyone.
Damned black US Cavalry buffalo soldiers, slave-taking Utes and Navajos, you name it, Native Americans have got it in the victimhood reign of terror.
But it brings us wealthy, even less-than-wealthy white males into a somewhat untenable, target-poor blame environment. About all we’ve got is welfare mothers and ex-wives to blame for our lousy situation.

I think the great philosophers, Calvin and Hobbes, described it as “the culture of victim-hood.” It seems pervasive. I think the greatest gift a person can give themselves is to stop blaming anyone else for anything.
Teresa Evangeline: Might be worth a try. We’ve tried everything else. Gracias, Jack
Good read J.
Read through it and was captured by the truths hidden in the last paragraph. Even felt it fit me so much I read it aloud to Val.
Hurrumph.
Hi Eddie. Hope all’s well with you guys. Jack
When did we get rich?
Hi Chuck. I’ve got it marked on my calendar somewhere if I can find it. Jack
Well, I suppose you could blame God for creating the devil and Eve. After all things were going fine until the devil had Eve to talk into eating that apple then giving it to Adam. But, maybe white men have accepted Adam’s roll in the fall and ware their responsibility with pride…..maybe that is why everyone else blames “rich” white guys. (By the way, most white guys, even the poor are better off than those that are blaming whites.) Funny thing it is white guy’s money that supports all of them. Blessings. M.
Maybe they weren’t white. Jack
