Todd, you are normally much more insightful than this.

With all due respect to you, he stated his opinion, in a manner colored to support his position, yeah, he took one, you just did not notice. 230 years of oppressing everyone else takes a lot out of a gang of crackers
I am not angry, I am disappointed. This country was founded by white males, they wrote the playbook why would you be surprised when they dominate the game. Clearly, the folks in power, primarily white males, have abused pretty much everyone else at one time or another, even other white males, this is a fact I would concede.
Given this fact, it is something much more than disingenuous to say 200 plus years of oppression and abuse by the White Male. This completely dismisses any progress made in the last 50 years. MLK Jr may have plagiarized parts of his doctoral thesis, but he had a lot of good ideas and had the ability to move people to action. LBJ was a real horse's ass in a lot of ways, but that redneck SOB signed that civil rights deal into law.
He was an angry white male in the power elite so maybe we are not all evil, all the time. We get a bit peeved because it appears that all the world's ills are because of us, and we never did any good for anyone but ourselves. The fact that we are the only group the first amendment does not fully apply to anymore has us a bit miffed too, but you will still see us going to work everyday and paying our taxes
