The opinions expressed past columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

When I was a kid, I lived in a small town and I didn't know any Jewish people. Of course, because I didn't know any Jewish people, my Jewdar was so bad that Mr. Goldberg could have invited me over to enjoy some matzo ball soup and I would accept still had no thought he was Jewish (No, really, I'k non kidding).

Considering I had no experience with Jewish people as a kid, I was especially perplexed by anti-Semitism. Obviously, a lot of people in the world hate Jews and very occasionally, I'd hear an anti-Semitic comment. The reason I did not understand this was every stereotype I'd heard near Jews was positive. It was similar, "Those Jews! They're so frugal! They're always working hard and reaching the tiptop of their fields in banking and entertainment! In fact, they're so crafty and Machiavellian, they're practically super human!" Granted, some of the compliments were delivered in a backhanded mode, but to me, Jews sounded nifty. Bizarrely, at present that I take gotten older and have had a hazard to come across quite a few Jews, I often notice them to exist wonderful and competent people, but if annihilation they don't live up to the nearly superhuman stereotypes of the people who hate them.

Back and so, it was outside my reality to imagine that a group of people could exist hated for being successful. Yet, what I've learned since so is that people or groups that tend to do better than the people around them are often hated for it. We've all seen this with celebrities who are richly despised by many people for no good reason other than that they're famous. It happens this manner with groups too. As the swell Thomas Sowell has noted, "middleman" groups that accept done better than the native population by being successful in professions similar retailing and banking are often despised and persecuted. Not just the Jews, but the Chinese in Vietnam, the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, the Lebanese in Sierra Leone, the Japanese in Peru and the Indians in Burma amidst other groups take been mistreated and even massacred for the crime of being successful.

Here in America, there are no massacres happening and white men are certainly not a minority, but white men are regularly passionately smeared, attacked and degraded in our country. White people (men included) are the only group in the country that is discriminated against via Affirmative Action by official authorities policy. In all fairness, Asians are also discriminated against by universities that often moving ridge them off in favor of less qualified applicants from different racial groups, but there's no widespread cultural assault against Asian Americans. To the opposite, when it comes to white men, outright hatred based on our skin color is commonplace. But await at some of the stories nosotros've covered at Right Fly News over the final couple of months.

It'due south not like we're looking for these stories or covering every one that comes down the freeway; there are merely so many hateful attacks aimed at whites in full general and white men in particular that they're bleeding into the news.

When yous've spent your whole life believing that anybody should be judged by the content of his grapheme and the merit of his deportment, not the color of his skin, it's a little shocking to notice out that almost no one seems to believe in this thought any more than except for mostly white conservative Americans.

Ironically, some of the most virulent hatred towards white men comes from white female feminists. Most people don't ever stop to retrieve virtually what a baroque situation this happens to exist. Imagine you have a white woman with a white father and a white brother, going to a college founded by a white man, using an Cyberspace created past a white human being to rails against white men and phone call them potential rapists because she'due south non a happy person. Rather than just dealing with information technology or making some changes, the liberal feminist decides white men are responsible for her coming upwardly short of her dreams. If you want to experience sorry for someone, feel deplorable for the male children of a woman similar that.

Granted, white men are far from perfect. White men were responsible for slavery…and ending slavery. For denying women the right to vote….and giving women the correct to vote. For the best and worst deportment of U.Southward. soldiers, for the best and worst actions of U.S. Presidents, for the all-time and worst actions of heads of manufacture. Why are only the negatives supposed to be relevant? We live in the strongest, most powerful, nearly prosperous nation in human history and if we're being honest, white men probably deserve 95% of the credit for that. That may exist unfair because women and black Americans weren't given the opportunity to significantly contribute for most of our nation's history, just it is truthful.

That beingness said, you don't hear white males saying, "You tin't talk well-nigh the Constitution and the Nib of Rights. That's appropriating our white heritage!" All about white men desire to do is just live their lives to their fullest potential, simply like everybody else without being smeared as the devil because of our skin color and our gender.

The standard response to this is something similar, "Oh yeah, like all these attacks and bigotry are really hurting white men! Pish! Look how well they're doing!" Of form, many white men AREN'T doing that well. For every Nib Gates or Warren Buffet, there are a hundred grand guys eking out a living while they're continually chastised for the color of their skin as opposed to anything they've actually done incorrect. Yet and nevertheless, some people say that because white men have been successful in American society overall, information technology must be biased in their favor. However, if ane racial grouping isn't performing equally well as another, why assume racism instead of encouraging people to mimic what works? That seems much more than probable to produce a skilful outcome than spewing racial hatred and falsely challenge to be a victim. Unfortunately, there's a lot more money to be made disarming people that they aren't responsible for their own failures while you point the finger at a user-friendly bad guy.
