Listen, I joke about Black conservatives being in the “sunken place” a lot. I personally believe Candace Owens is the Sunken Place HOA president.
I’m convinced Jason Whitlock is the CEO of the Sunken Place Depot chain that services the greater Sunken Place area. I’m pretty sure Ben Carson and Herschel Walker both fell asleep on the couch, woke up in Sunken Place Neverland and decided they wanted to be tap dancing Peter Pan for the rest of their lives.
But even with all of this exposure to extreme white assimilation, I am still taken aback by a tweet posted by the campaign of Georgia congressional candidate Vernon Jones, the Black Republican who used to be a Democrat and is now in the running to be most confused and sunken-placed Black man in America.
“Straight, white males deserve a Pride Month,” Jones tweeted on Thursday, apparently in reference to the fact that June is Pride Month for the LGBTQ community. “The Left won’t acknowledge it, but that group might just be the most discriminated group in America today.”
First of all, it’s not even worth the word count for me to spend a lot of time explaining that the straight white male demographic is overwhelmingly represented in every aspect of America’s power structure—from elected officials to corporate America to America’s uber-rich to our legal system and beyond—and could never be the most discriminated against in the country. I’m not going to waste too much of my bandwidth stating the obvious—that “Straight White Male Pride Month” is every single day in America, or that a “Straight White Male Pride” parade is literally the Proud Boys.
I’m not even going to be petty and point out the irony of this being tweeted by a man (or whoever is running Jones’ account) who was successfully sued by straight white males who accused him of racial discrimination while he was a Dekalb County official. (Again, if I was a petty man, I would point this out—but I am not a petty man.)
In fact, I’m not even going to fight Jones on this. Let’s go ahead and give straight white males their own Pride month.
We could honor the month by staging events where scores of angry white men march through the streets carrying some kind of torch (perhaps of the tiki variety) and wearing cute little red caps with some kind of slogan like, “Unite the…Straight White Males,” or “Make…Straight White Males Great Again.”
We could even have these White Pride month celebrators storm the U.S. Capitol in an effort to overturn any vote that wasn’t cast by a straight white conservative voter.
Seriously, I can’t believe no one ever thought of these things before now.
And why stop there? Straight White Male Pride events could include arts and kkkrafts activities where the straight white males stitch together nice white robes made of bed sheets with wholesome little pointy white hats. They could stage Civil War reenactments with alternative endings where the South rises again and wins their war to keep their Blacks in the cotton fields.
And just so Jones will have something to do at these events—I mean, besides serving the Kool-Aid and making sure everyone has extra mayo to go along with their raisin-pride potato salad—we could put together a Clayton Bigsby cosplay contest for the entertainment of the straight white males Jones is so desperate to cozy up to. Hell, if he really wanted to go wild with it, Jones could even stage an impromptu Uncle Ruckus sing-along.
Whoever wrote this is full of hatred, I will pray for you!🙏
Is this BASTURD for REAL ? He’s Black and puts Blacks Down he hates White’s. WHO ! does he think he is Snow White.
every other group, gets a month, lets have a normal year and Stop these Hate months. this is what is dividing the country. we don’t want or need Gay or Black or Women months. make it the Great USA year.
Totally. We are all equal in my book. There are good and bad people in every race, religion or culture. Separating is only divisive. No one deserves separate recognition. It only makes us more separated. God bless us all. 🙏🙏
Agree!!!
Make everyday humanity day. We need to stop this war on each other. Please be kind to one another, it’s a short life
Either get rid of all the whiner (ok, in SOME cases historically oppressed, under acknowledged, whatever) months, or make every month everybody month. But there’s no way I’d give up so much “privilege” as to settle for only ONE month. 🙂
It takes a lot of white privilege to make those comments.
imho…
establishing a month to celebrate various people groups may have beem well intended but the outcome of “pride” month has been the denigration of all other legitimate people groups. no other “philosophy” or world view seeks to pervert and or destroy what has been right and true for the peoples of all nations for all time.
lbgtq…whatever ! to them, family, fidelity, procreation, morality, reality are to be destroyed or utterly redefined to support and encourage perverse, ungodly and sexually immoral lifestyles.
remember NAMBA? they sought to cause the goverment and culture to condone and justify the sexual relationships between adult males and 5 year old boys.
this is the result of your complacency. the adversary is now in the house and youre expected to accomodate him\her or it…whatever the case may be.
God have mercy on us all
I belong to an ignored minority group, about 12% of our population, that has been killed in the past simply for being in the group, tortured in schools and forced to be something other than what we were. A word once used to describe us has been corrupted into a word that means ‘evil’. Did we complain? Did we rise up and demand some form of recognition or retribution? No, we did not. We simply learned how to use right-handed scissors and got on with our lives. We don’t need a special month for the sinister crowd.
White Pride Month? Never happen…
No more pride months!!!!!!!……lets get back to humanity. Stop separating people!!!!. This writer is hate driven and I am so tired of these people having a platform to push this crap. Every race and culture has an ugly past. If we keep living in the past, we will never see a better future. I am so ashamed if where we are as a nation. All this change these politicians and public figures are pushing sure as hell ain’t working. Look at all these crazy people just killing for recognition. I am not a hun freak….but back in the day…..everyone had guns. You didn’t have to worry about your kids in school. Bring back morals and respect for authority.
And for God’s sake, elect leaders and not career politicians!! They only make laws that benefits them and sells the public how ever they need to.
