Some even went orange when they should be turning red.

Kind of like how blacks here in USA refer to themselves as niggahs? |
With the difference that anyone regardless of skin color can say Negros over here without a problem.

Yea, I ran into that problem back in early 2000s when I was young and dumb. I believe I was at a party trying to call out Ja Rule and state that he isn't shit compared to Bone Thugs (this was in Ohio which is Bone territory). It didn't end too well but least it didn't go beyond verbal argument. Lets just say I was seperated and called out by a girl. I still don't take anything back because Ja Rule is a fake ass bitch.

I believe I was drunk at a party and stating that Ja Rule (or Nelly one of the two) was a fake niggah and not real niggahs like Bone Thugs. Basically saying one is a fake rapper and others are real rappers. This coming from someone that doesn't even listen to rap much these days and if rarely it would be 90s rap. Being someone totally white I can see how some blacks might get offended but if they knew anything about rap then they wouldn't have gotten upset at my analysis of the two different rap groups.

That's because Colombia practived miscegenation almost immediately after it abolished lsavery in the 1850s. The US created specific laws to prevent it and oppress blacks for another 100 years. We are still only a few generations removed from seperate water fountains for whites and blacks. |
Well thankfully the U.S doesnt have any of those laws anymore, so at least it gives me hope that one day people in the U.S will also be able to move past it.
You're not seeing the underlying problem here.
The problem with headlines like these is that they're shifting the attention form the real issue (gun control) to a matter of cultural identity. And judging by your reaction they're really effective at it.

It's the picture they are trying to paint with that stuff that's important. You just can't see past the paint. All of the sources I used had a ton of articles/blogs like those that suggest that they have an agenda. |
My point isn't that your conclusion is wrong. My point is that the evidence you cited is insufficient to justify the claim. Therefore I am unconvinced by your argument.
When you say "suggest they have an agenda", what do you mean by that? Because I am wondering if you just saw someone pile up a bunch of confirmation bias. With the major news sites, you could probably cherry pick enough stuff to make Fox look like Mother Jones. Maybe they did it all scientific-like, but I have not yet been convinced.

I wasn't listing those sources as absolute evidence with the goal of proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're trying to vilify or demonize white males (let's be honest about that no matter how much you list, some people will not be convinced no matter what) but rather as samples to perhaps make others curious about it so they do research on their own. We're not in a court of law. Some of those sources definitely have an agenda with this stuff or a strong bias. It's sort of a common sense.
I have no interest in wasting my time trying to convince an ideologue or a stubborn person. If someone is intelligent or open minded enough to entertain different ideas, they'll look into it themselves if you show enough to interest them.
Who's the group of people that a lot of progressive circles point to as the boogieman who's out to get you, use as a pinata for people's frustrations, set up as a literal strawman? White males.
