    You still don't get it. That's his point. He is not bringing up the race, the white whiners are making it about the race. Brennan is calling them out.

    Many of these people who you call ordinary Americans are whining about the persecution of white males. They complain that the nation which was "built by us, and for us" feel like they are under attack by people of other races.

    You are free to see it as "whining" if you wish, but I actually know this from current work experience so I'm also free to define it how I wish

    Perhaps you're lucky you haven't been exposed to these kinds of classes. They do exist. Do some research.. Find the "be less white" training Coke was mandating. It will change your perspective.

    I have been exposed to countless classes, some of which are pretty silly, but they don't trigger me to a point where I would whine about being a victim. I guess I am not as prone to feeling like a victim as you are.

    If one feels they need to be ashamed for others actions, and uses a physical characteristic in common as the cause for their personal discomfort, what else would it be but self hatred?

    Trying to make himself 'more' buy reducing other people based on a common trait.... yeah, that's self hatred.

    I don't see how calling it out could possibly translate be self-hatred. What you are doing is a clumsy attempt at blame-shifting and what you say later proves you are still not getting the point (maybe in purpose). He is not using physical characteristics as a cause, he is talking about WHINERS. Whining is not a physical characteristic. Does the military tolerate whining? No. Does that mean the military leadership hate themselves? Of course not. They don't tolerate it because it is a pathetic display of weakness, and they'd be embarrassed to be in charge of an army of whiners.

    No one can stop these people from whining, since they don't report to anyone, but we can call them out and call for what they are: WHINERS.

    I am talking about the topic, and it would be nice if you'd do the same, but clearly that is too much to ask for since you can't even figure out what the topic is.

    The posters on this thread. Who did you think? The railway workers?

    So instead of saying 'I disagree with these people, how sad to be them' (or any variant of it) HE brings race into it, saying he is ashamed to be a WHITE male. That's pretty clear that he has an issue with being a WHITE male.

    Race is all it seems to be about these days. He just jumped on the band wagon, instead actually addressing the whiners as individuals....

    The more you say the more clear it become that race is all its about to YOU. That's all YOU see. These people are whining about whites being victims, so its about race to them too. Brennan is saying "QUIT WHINING", and you are working to make it about him, which is a classic attempt at blame-shifting because you are trying to defend the whiners.

    Hard for me to understand that. I'm happy and proud to be a white male - always have been, always will be.

    Yes you do need to do something special. Among those things are

    Emphasis on scientific method, i.e. rational, objective, linear thinking.
    Future orientation: plan for future, delayed gratification,
    Protestant work ethic: Hard work is the key to success.

    https://www.newsweek.com/smithsonia...l-thinking-hard-work-are-white-values-1518333

    Your problem is seem really uniformed about Critical Race Theory and the havoc it is causing in our institutions. A snotty attitude really doesn't compensate for lack of information.

    The point, which evades you, is explained in the part which you edited out: "while discussing supporters of former President Donald Trump." aka "whiny white men calling themselves victims".

    I am sure there are many aspects he is proud about, but this one thing irks him, and many others who find whining annoying.

    Ok, I have been doing all that all my life, and and it has not drawn the wrath of the.....ehh......the whatever the whiners fear, against me. Is there some other "act white" things that would do the trick?

    It wasn't necessary for him to bring race into it. He can be an anti-Trumper without doing that.

    White males are being blamed for the problems of others. They are called "Privileged" which is a license to hate. That is not whining that is fact.

    It's your ideology(Demotard-Neocon) that is flawed and teaches hate.

    The Trump cult "white man = victims" whiners bring race into it, and Brennan called it out.

    OMG........its practically impossible for people to get the point here.............in a sense it explains the root causes for the whining.

    Personal attack is the last resort when the debate is lost.

    No, I am not a Democrat or "Demotard" (reference to retard), or Neocon.

    And that triggers you to a point where you'd start whining about being under attack. Poor you. Grow a pair!!

    You sure are defending Brennan who is those things. Why not tell us for the 500th time how we do not get your uncle John's brilliant point about white victimization.

    Definitions.

    Demotard-Far right domestic ideology of the democrat party. Race and tribe mean everything. Content of character mean nothing. Ban all speech you disagree with. Dr Suess is racist!

    Neocon-Far right ideology that pushes for perpetual foreign wars.

    This is the intellectual leader of those ideologies. Max Boot! Disagree with him and you are a traitor!

    Brennan-Clapper-Cheney are the trinity. Bill Krystol in waiting for one of them to drop dead. Hopefully soon. Trump was the anti Demotard-Neocon.

    Note the characteristics. Big talking buffoons who pretend to be super patriotic. Obsessed with Russia but the Chinese can do whatever they want. Note that Russia's economy is comparable to Italy but they are the biggest geopolitical threat!

    Everybody who disagrees with them is called a traitor and needs to be shut up!
