MTV News, haven of cultural rationality and responsibility
that it is, recently released a helpful video on Twitter, suggesting some New
Year’s resolutions for “white guys.” The thoughtful video, dubbed “2017
Resolutions for White Guys,” offered up such constructive advice as, “learn
what mansplaining is, then stop doing it.” The video, a veritable
treasure-trove of tolerant trope and cogent thinking, also warned pale men against
uttering the phrases “All Lives Matter” and/or “Blue Lives matter,” as “Black
Lives Matter” is the only one of these expressions that is not overtly racist.
The
video lasts one minute and 21 seconds, and begins with an African-American
male, one of three non-Caucasians in view, telling white viewers to listen up
because, “there’s a few things we think you could do a little better in 2017.”
(You’ve piqued my curiosity, I must say. Do tell!). At which point a female
minority states: “First off, try to recognize that America was never great for
anyone who wasn’t a white guy.” (No, it wasn’t Michelle Obama). Really? That is
an absolutist statement and a massive generalization…besides being preposterous
in the extreme.
MTV News probably noticed that the President of the United States himself is
black. (And he has done a Great
job of Making America Weak Again). Minorities sit on the Supreme Court, hold
various governorships, run companies, are truly
beloved entertainers…and make countless millions of dollars for playing
basketball, baseball and football. And, it should be noted, the minimum wage in this country equates to
a higher annual salary than virtually any country in, say, Africa, can claim.
As for women, a pathologically lying, serial-rapist abetting, carelessly acting
with regard to America’s national security, “I hate everyday Americans”
spouting…elderly female in frail health nearly became President of the United
States.
The
video also cleverly allowed as to how, even if white people have black friends,
it doesn’t mean they aren’t racist. At its climax, it humbly concluded that,
while “nobody’s perfect,” it is white men who are the problem in this country,
and that they “can do a little better in 2017,” especially in light of the fact
that “2016 was bad.”
In
light of the incessant attacks, slander, hate speech, etc., etc., directed at
white males (most of whom have jobs), and the Democratic Party’s demonizing of
the white working class in general, I hereby issue a call for all white males
to quit work, leave the country, or both. All of us. Period. I don’t care to
hear of any reasons this might be inconvenient for you. Let this not be like the vapid Hollywood celebs threatening to
leave the country after Trump was elected, but then refusing to do so. You
harbor a responsibility to political correctness to take a hike. You owe it to reason, yourselves, posterity,
your nation, and the fate of the world. Just quit. Just go. Stop being so
offensive. Stop working. Let’s see how it goes for the rest of the country, the
enlightened ones, after we drop out.
It is
about damn time for Atlas to shrug.
