"Discrimination against white males"

Pat Buchanan tells Rachel Maddow that whites are victims of discrimination.

The video on YouTube was taken down, but check out this news article, which includes this quote from Buchanan: "White men were 100% of the people that wrote the Constitution, 100% of the people that signed the Declaration of Independence, 100% of the people who died at

i'm mature student returned from middle east. Taking journalism degree. I'm finding continued disparaging references to 'white male' making me and one other guy, black, fiercely anti white, encouraged by professor who purrs everytime he makes anti white remark. She is white but clearly hates white male more than love her own father, brother, sons. The rest of the class cringe ten girls, as we listen this professor ruin his future any amd many bosses, many of whom will be of that ethnicity and race. I've never felt so uncumfortable and like i'm in a brainwashing room.

African Americans, other non-white people, and anti-racists have been talking about white males for years, because they are the reason we have this racialized system we live in. White men aren't bad - I love many of them. I wasn't speaking against white men; just this one who thinks this country was built by and for white men and he sees it as fact, not racism

I don't understand why there can't be equality without destroying white males. In my opinion, in this day and age, it isn't true equality at all that Affirmative Action supporters are seeking but retribution for past crimes commited by the white race. They want to see white males suffer for the sins of their ancestors. I won't deny that Affirmative Action was necessary at one time because it was. I watched my father struggle as a minority, and now I see the exact thing happening to my husband. As an Hispanic woman married to a white male, I can tell you by my experience in living with a white male that reverse discrimination does exist. As a Mexican-American married woman I was able to easily obtain pell grants I didn't have to pay back so that I could attend college. It paid for all my tuition and books and a little left over for other needs. My husband on the hand, wasn't so lucky, he too filed for financial aid but received little to no assistance, even though he filed the exact same information I did to attend

My white male husband also had to pay back lots of loans, but he did get some assistance. We were treated fairly because fairness is not the same as equality. My husband easily found a job when he graduated and moved up. He's got a great position in a mostly white company. Due to the economy, he may lose his job and then we might lose our house as has happened to others, but we don't blame anyone. We will do everything we can to hold on to make money - we have many friends and relatives who can help us (the ones in the hiring positions for the kind of work we do are still mostly white). If we have to sell our house and move to where there's public transportation because we can't afford 2 cars, we'll do that if we have to. The economy is what it is - people suffer, but we'll fight & we know we have resources like most white people have due to history
