Why are dumb white male yokels never willing to embrace the fact that if gays, racial minorities or women do better than them in life, it’s probably because they’re more qualified and/or smarter in some way?
I know guys like the one in this video at the World’s Largest Weight Watchers’ Meeting in Washington (the Glenn Beck Rally), and it never ceases to amaze me when they start bitching about how all the minorities are conspiring to keep them down. It would be pitiable if they weren’t so rancid.
A summary:
An unidentified man who said he was a federal worker said that “homosexuals” and “affirmative-action” were keeping him from moving up at his job. The man got into an argument with an African-American man at the site of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally on Saturday.
“Why you punishing me for something I didn’t do?” the man said. “Oh, I’m being punished, I’m being held back. I work for the federal government. I have a job, but I can’t move up,” he added.
“Why can’t you move up, because of a black man?” the other man asks.
“No, no, a lot of it’s homosexuals,” the federal worker says. “Nepotism, okay, favorite boyfriends and girlfriends, and affirmative action.”
Dude, I watched the video and survey says: “Dumb teabagger is probably not qualified to mow my lawn.” Decide for yourself:

UPDATE:
No new information to report, but I just realized I’ve been listening to Nina Simone all day today, and Nina could tell that dillweed up there to STFU better than I ever could, so here’s Nina:
If we asked the guy who’s so concerned about the homosexuals and the affirmative action to respond to that, he might reply with something like this:
Oh, Goddess, more of the “Angry White Man” sybdrome. When in doubt, blame the nearest minorities.
Totally with Merlyn on this one.
Wow, a new version of how the freeing of slaves kept the white sharecropper from his rightful place higher on the social scale. I suppose he whats some cheese with that whine!
Something like that. I’m going to update this post, because I just realized that it needs a certain enhancement.
The best is the end. “You think I’m a bigot? Talk to my wife from South America!”
She took his jerb.
Oh Jeez, the white man’s burden.
I thought tea baggers were against big government and people having all these tax payer funded jobs.
On that note, with unemployment so high (particularly among African Americans), he is more disadvantaged than all those black men out there who don’t have a nice federal government job with good benefits and a pension plan?
Someone isn’t all that grateful for the blessings that he has in his life.
Because, John, wingnuts like that guy don’t look at their life by what they’ve accomplished, they look at it based on where they perceive themselves in the societal ranking, and, just like in Mississippi Burning, they can’t handle the idea that gays and blacks and women might be BETTER than them.
Oh it’s soooo sad that us white people have to start actually working harder in order to get ahead….boo-hoo…
What a load of b******t that he’s blaming everyone else for his perceived failures.
These people are pathetic because of their views, not their weight. Fat jokes against them hurt the feelings of some of the people on our side too.
If that offended somebody, I’m sorry.
That wasn’t really the point of the post. It’s just one of a hundred funny things people have re-named the Glenn Beck-a-palooza.
Whitestock.
The Great Caucasian Pity Party.
Etc.
What a horrible world where jobs are no longer reserved for white, heterosexual Christian men. He’s so persecuted.
So…
He’s at a anti big government rally, with a groups calling for less government spending, cuts in big pensions, less taxes, less government waste, etc. And he’s a federal employee. Did he not get the memo on that one? It’s not them evil blacks and homersexuals threatening “yer” job, it’s the a******s standing around you!
I just, I can’t…
