Sarah Huckabee's Tone Deaf Political Ad And The "Young White Man Problem"

Excerpt:
"America has a young white man problem, or at the very least, most popular media, corporate advertising and even political advertising seems to say so. Either they are completely absent from the majority of media imagery, or when they are present, they are depicted as incompetent buffoons and ineffectual effeminate weaklings.

This has been an inescapable reality of western pop culture for the past decade. One would think that a conservative candidate would be aware of the problem rather than adding to it, but then again, some of these politicians are painfully oblivious.
...
But what about young white men's share of the welfare pie? That's what's so insulting. White men ages 18-25 account for only 2% to 4% of all welfare recipients in the US on average. In fact, young white men are the least likely to qualify for taxpayer subsidies. If they get hit with a life crisis, many have little to no help.

So, why did Huckabee decide to use a Gen Z white gamer guy as her political punching bag? Because for the past 10+ years this has been the politically safe move. "
--------------------------------
Yet another woman who has earned scorn for her feeling that half the people she is supposed to represent don't matter, and she deserves ZERO support by ANY person who can think rationally.

    Being of certain age, I look at the grandsons, the energy, enthusiasm, imagination and ambition, and think, Is it time to tell them now, or will they find out soon enough?

    Tyler Durden is right, big corporate employment and college admission is blatantly stacked against white males. Educational qualifications and professional careers are getting out of reach,
    I do not see evidence of even token quotas!
    There are other areas to be considered, business and blue collar. In such areas there are in-built biases towards competence.

    6 months ago I came across this story- an Indian (S.Asian) chap could not get a job, he thought he was quite good in his field. After some planning he gave his hair style, name and resume a make-over, he became an Afro-American.
    According to the story, it succeeded - it is that bad.

    So the author, Tyler Durden, is just noticing this treatment of white males? It's been going on in ads and entertainment for a long time. Sad to see Huckabee doing it or going along with it.

      Tyler Durden covers a lot of issues on his site www.zerohedge.com.
      It's free and this is just his latest article exposing a pandering, parasitic politician.

        For sure. You and a few other Gulchers have provided links to articles on zerohedge and I've enjoyed reading all of them. Durden's article here is a good one, but one like it could have been written a decade or two ago, which is what I meant to point out. Back in the late 80s a job posting at the large company I worked for that said "diverse candidates welcome" always meant white male need not apply. By the 90s Hollywood and Madison Avenue were getting fully on board scripting out or disparaging white males (or white people in general) and the practice is so common today many don't even see it and you would have to be a "bigot" to notice it. Except every once in a while you may see an article like this one - but nothing seems to come of it.

          I agree. Mainstream media are still promoting the "evil white man" fraud.
          In every tv series and movie that has a villain responsible for the crimes
          of the moment, the criminals are almost always white men, with an
          occasional token white woman thrown in "for balance." Sure there are
          minor criminals of other races, but they always have an excuse provided
          by the writers like being raised in a 'bad neighborhood'. Illegal immigrants
          are always portrayed as innocent victims by Hollywood writers.
          They didn't mean to be criminals; it was just their environment. Note also
          that a majority of departments in police dramas are headed by 'people of
          color' as are mayors of major cities.
          (Whoopie Goldberg as mayor of NYC? That's almost believable now .;^)
          When there is a white male mayor, he is always corrupted, while non-white
          mayors are always models of ethics and integrity.
          Bright tv detectives of color regularly chide their white male partners for their
          stupidity. Notice that characters exhibiting racism are never black or Latino?
          TV commercials produced for large companies add to the cacophony of lies
          showing couples with brilliant women and slovenly men.
          It's remarkable that the companies who sell these products haven't
          realized that they are insulting at least half their potential customers.
