    Frankly, there must be a ton of African Americans ashamed to be black males, no?
    What about Mongols, they murdered 11% of all people on earth once, are they ashamed
    to be Mongol Males?
    And Mexicans of Aztec descent, are they ashamed of their past, ashamed to be Hispanic
    Males?

    This shows how politics can seep into your soul.

    ~ The same way James Comey came to be FBI Director and James Clapper became Director of National Intelligence .

    I'm embarrassed to be a white man because Brennan also is one.

    Thanks for sharing, but do you think the "white man persecution complex" really stems from Marxism, and if so, then how deeply embedded is in the right-wing masses of today?

    Hard to say since he didn't say anything about such thing.

    No, he isn't, but then again that is not the topic.

    I see that you are still struggling to figure out what the topic is here.....:disbelief:

    By joining the CIA 40 years ago and rising through the ranks.

    Does it offend you that he is calling out the whiners, or are the whiners a new class of people you need to circle your wagons around?

    Whining and playing the victim is an annoying sign of weakness, especially when it comes from a group of people who have the least to whine about. They whine for the sake of whining, because white males are NOT being persecuted in the US. They were played into believing they are victims, and they bought the line and have been whining about it for the past 4 years.

    There ARE blacks who are ashamed by the behavior of other blacks, and they have spoken out about the issues within the black community. Maybe their comments have drawn criticism from other blacks (the whiners) much like Brennan is being attacked here on this thread by those who are triggered by his comments. The reaction is natural. If you associate/identify with the whiners, then you are going to defend them and attack those who call them out,

    Then he should identify as something other than a White male if it embarrasses him so much. It's all the rage.

    Sometimes you just have to laugh. One of the most antithetical "male" public figures is now complaining that he is embarrassed because so folks at CPAC dared to utter their acknowledgement that being white and male in this country is under attack from lefty democrats and their socialist masters. And, because folks were standing up to the bullying from the left, he's now embarrassed Well, that's a logic soup.

    Brennan likely is a communist. His embarrassment should be that now that it's been publicized, that he still seems to want a seat at the table of power. That his tenure in the service of the nation is likely now in question given his politics, instead of slinking away to the farthest reaches of the planet to hide from his own horrific record of abuse of power, corruption, and outright treason, he's found a loving home inside the New Democratic Party socialist propaganda machine where he's revered as a hero for his crimes. And of course the loving media do love their agents of chaos. Queue self hating wokism, and it's a circle jerk.

    It seems the point flew a mile over your head.

    I am white male and never, ever felt like I am under some kind of attack. Maybe I need to read Breitbart to understand why I should be so afraid.

    Or maybe you can explain it since you obviously feel like you are under attack.

    “Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.” - Hermann Goering

    THAT is what we have been hearing for 4 years, and it seems to be continuing.

    Get a job in the workforce today. And take classes about how you can't act like a white male anymore. See what that does for your self esteem.

    I have been in the workforce all my life, and I have no idea what you are talking about. What do I need to do in order to "act like a white male"? Do I need to do something special? Tell me.

    Edited by me to respond to what was quoted of mine.

    Apparently your 'points' are not clear enough, if my response, which did respond to the article, was insufficient according to you.

    Being white, regardless of your position on race relations and the respect due other people, has become a liability to some. For those who view it as a liability, for any reason, are free to disassociate and identify otherwise.

    Rather a clear, simple way for those who have self hatred to address things.

    So him calling out the whiners somehow translates to self-hatred (in you mind), and the remedy is to pretend his skin is not white anymore? All righty then.

    Thanks for stopping by.

    I notice lot of people self-identify with the whiners and rush to their defense.

    The bottom line is that many ordinary Americans are tired of the constant obsession with race. I'm not going to hate older white men just because Brennan is one. Why can't he express a point albeit a stupid one without bringing up race?

    There is no need to be embarrassed to be a white male but you should be CAREFUL, especially in the work place. Be Smart! Keep opinions to yourself. We are now a targeted group and to top it off, racism against whites supposedly doesn't exist so you have to suck up any discrimination against you.
