Thus, here am I. By all I've heard, I should to be the "Angry White Male". But, I just don't have the time nor the inclination for anger anymore.

Group by Group, Blacks, Women, Gays.......... They are on the rise, they are standing up. What are they supposed to do? Just quietly accept their place, because seeing them get "uppity" upsets old white guys like me?

I wouldn't.
On the way to full inclusion in American society, a status white males have always enjoyed. What I'm hearing here today sounds like simple jealousy and I have no sympathy for it at all.

What you two are spouting is the essence of Trump's appeal. You guys need to get a grip. The party is over. And that pasty white skin of yours will still earn you a lot of undeserved privilege.
