O My Gosh I’m a Black Women and have been married to a White Man FOR 10 YEARS!! I have always been pampered by POWERFUL WHITE MEN, and now that I am maried to one; MY WORKING DAYS ARE OVER. But I still enjoy working a little to stay sane. My point is, if white men loose their power in this country where will the pampered black or white women who marry them stand?? my attraction has always been that way and not for any other race!! Hopefully I am not around to see this unfold.

[...] “At the GOP, we’re very aware that some day things that matter to us will be taken away unidentified blacks and other minorities,” said a press release. “So we always react to that eventuality first.” [...]

“I am now part of an oppressed, negligibly less powerful majority.”

Actually, you would need to be a white woman to qualify for that status.
Largely because white men hold a majority of positions of power, the women who outnumber them have long belonged to what might be call a “silent majority”.

Excellent, excellent…except that I thought the selection of Bush for 2 terms and Cheney’s assertion to Rumsfeld that “this is our due” represented the penultimate moment of little rich white boy liberation. Isn’t that what Rushboy and that whiner, Newtie, are all about after all? For once, I feel sorry for Michael Steele cuz this time I think he means it. Remember that he was up against some southern white guy who sang “Barack the Magic Negro”. Steele’s stand just may cost him his job. Then he might begin to rethink the whole Republican thing….

Thank you for the excellent article. So, how’s Brazil (? I think that’s where you are…..)

I thought you liked being oppressed, and wanted to get in on that action. And aimai's got a point, although you're still falling short of Jonah Goldberg: "The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism." Nor have you implied something sinister about Sotomayor's affection for Puerto Rican cuisine. It makes satirizing these people a real challenge. ("This year the Supreme Court is off limits to a white, non-law-practicing male like myself" was my favorite line, BTW.)

Hm. I think it may need subtitles for the thematically impaired or its going to make the jump to a Valedictorian speech at Liberty University.

Great. Perfect. I would add a bit on the hetero side because it seems that the great white male is a little disturbed by same-sex marriage and the quest for public acceptance of queer unions. He might be a little closetted and by definition not own up to some private interest in another man’s weenie but that’s a side issue: there’s some power challenge that white males must rise and hold erect in opposition to the gay liberation actions. So, a side chant might be: Straight White Males of the Universe, arise with length and vigor: Hold your sword erect and ready for battle!

a few words missing at the end

Thanks Martin. I hate when that happens.

May I perform this sometime?

Absolutely.
