Nice white male priviledge pity party some of you have going here.

To be kicked in the nuts by those who you've supported all your life is not jealousy. It's just bend over painful.

Those folks who have been discriminated against all their lives are now doing the exact same thing, but they claim they are taking the high ground.

Cheers to them for finally getting theirs, but to be clear, it's no high ground they take, it's hateful revenge.

Barbara made this about white male privilege.

I guess as a white male I deserve all the hate from women, blacks, hispanics, muslims, pretty much everyone on earth who's not white and male. Even though I personally did nothing to earn it.

Thank god I'm not a white cop...it could be worse.....

Bullshit on a shingle, Potter. Just stop it, you're embarrassing yourself.

...and your edit made it worse. Gawd almighty.

OK. I just don't want to get attacked for being honest. This is just what I saw and how I felt. No right, no wrong, no judgement.

The convention overall seemed, as I have said previous, like a Sarah Palin inspired event. No one taking ownership of their situation. It's his fault, their fault everyones fault. That was my first impression out of the box. I hated Sarah so perceiving the same excesses immediately pushed me away.

Then it seemed like every speaker spoke to their "victimization." Almost all valid but stop crying. Enough.

Even the cop has to be a black female.... ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole, "I crashed the glass ceiling" thing I found off putting. There was no ceiling to crash in 2016. You are the first but your sex was in no way detrimental to you. In fact you have milked it.

Then all the gays. Ok fine, I have always supported the LBGTQ although I was a traditionalist in marriage until a few years ago. But again, overkill. If it does not matter if you are gay or not and it doesn't, why must you tell me you have a wife who is a man? And the crowd goes crazy. It was crazy.

Another guy, a talking head in a dress. No problem but how the heck do I identify?

He can pee next to me or in the stall next to my daughters, I don't care.

But where was I?

Add all this up and I simply had nothing to identify with.

and that is all I spoke to.

I wanted nothing from the convention but came away feeling... lost.

Again, I am on no crusade, I just felt left out and expressed it.

my world is not ending, (sorry Barb) I'll vote the court and all my future votes will be for my grandkids because from what I see, my time is over... politically.

Hope this helps

Sorry, I'm not supposed to have feelings am I. That's not allowed for someone of my "privileged" standing. I'm just supposed to shut up and agree with ya'll right? Keep my feeling to myself. You people on this site. I used to respect you, but once I started disagreeing with you suddenly I'm a idiot. I see how it is with you folks.

I'll bother you no more.

why thank you

Guess YOU are the arbiter of how people should feel....

Glad someone is in charge.

Oh yes, the party of tolerance... as long as you see things my way...

[Pio1980]

So, you feel that they way overdid the inclusiveness?

Hate? Kicked in the nuts? Barbara?

I see you saying that, not her.

Barbara, do you hate on pots? was it your intent to kick him in the nuts?

Climb down off that cross, Ed. Somebody can use that wood for something useful.
