It doesn't have to be a sign, or a spoken word. Often times in my life and I am 35 y/o I get pointed backwards. Have you gotten told by whatever "baby-boomer" that tired old phrase "think you got it tough....." and fill in the blank? There is alot not to envy about past human conditions in every such generation and I believe there always has been/will be.
I do have alot of respect for the generation that fought the second world war most certainly because those were the days of a proud American people. I felt that same pride in my country as a child when president Reagan spoke of America being a "beacon...the shining city on the hill". I still remember where I was and what I was doing exaclty when the phone rang and who I spoke to on 9/11/01.
We all remember the other things that have shaped my lives as Americans looking back at what we have had to overcome in the bedrock of our code. The tunacity of persistance does build character, but it comes with a price when the obstacle is not universial. The forces behind the obstructive influence leave a negative stain on that code which creates a bias.
The idea is that applying rules based on ones race, gender, or any other physical characteristic differently now will somehow that make up for how they were applied in the past.
Enough talented young white men have been sacrificed in the name of the sins of their father, grandfathers, great grandfathers, great great grandfathers and the lineages of people they are not related to in the name of "civil rights". They were bused across town as children and went to schools in the projects where they were not given a quality education. While black students from those neighborhoods were bused to schools thier parents paid for. White men are not welcome to apply for any kind of public assistance of the same social net provided to women and "minoirties" when it comes to welfare. White men are not hired for jobs they are duly trained and qualified for because of the color of their skin everyday.
White men are then stereo typed as being "angry" or violent and who wouldn't be. They watch court systems gives kids to their mother in a divorce because of her gender. Most government jobs are only for women and minorities only. White men who perform skilled and unskill labor in the private sector watch illegal aliens cut their wages. If we are supposed to sit back and watch the American dream striped away from us a shred at a time, heck yeah I'm mad!!!
