One of the enduring legacies of the 2012 Presidential campaign was the demise of the white American male voter as a dominant force in the political landscape. On election night, after Obama was announced the winner, a distressed Bill O’Reilly lamented that he didn’t live in “a traditional America anymore”. He was joined by others who bellowed their grief on the talk radio airwaves, the traditional redoubt of angry white men. Why were they so angry?
Sociologist Michael Kimmel, one of the leading writers on men and masculinity in the world today, has spent hundreds of hours in the company of America’s angry white men in pursuit of an answer. Kimmel locates this increase in anger in the seismic economic, social, and political shifts that have so transformed the American landscape. Downward mobility, increased racial and gender equality, and a tenacious clinging to an anachronistic ideology of masculinity has left many men feeling betrayed and bewildered.
Raised to expect unparalleled social and economic privilege, white men are suffering today from what Kimmel calls “aggrieved entitlement”: a sense that those benefits that white men believed were their due have been snatched away from them.

If white privilege exisyted why do mixed rtaces never claim to be white? or it is when it just suits them like obama for votes

Hmmm more liberal guilt propaganda, the debunked fantasy tag is missing.

If they keep you on the defensive you are less likely to assert your right to speak up about the demographic changes they want in your country.

Published 2013: “demise of the white American male voter as a dominant force in the political landscape”: well, that conclusion was a bit premature.

Maybe an update after the election, and he could include “Angry White Women”, aka “Karens”.

This is what I see in everything coming out of the left:
APA Dictionary of Psychology
projection
n.
1. in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theories, the process by which one attributes one’s own individual positive or negative characteristics, affects, and impulses to another person or group. This is often a defense mechanism in which unpleasant or unacceptable impulses, stressors, ideas, affects, or responsibilities are attributed to others. For example, the defense mechanism of projection enables a person conflicted over expressing anger to change “I hate him” to “He hates me.” Such defensive patterns are often used to justify prejudice or evade responsibility; in more severe cases, they may develop into paranoid delusions in which, for example, an individual who blames others for his or her problems may come to believe that those others are plotting against him or her. In classical psychoanalytic theory, projection permits the individual to avoid seeing his or her own faults, but modern usage has largely abandoned the requirement that the projected trait remain unknown in the self.

The left love the idea of The Angry White Man. They love the idea of a knuckle-dragging, drooling, Trump-thumping, brain-less white man.
They need this Man. They need this Straw Man.

Spot on.

In case anyone is actually here to listen to books instead of yell at each other, the audio quality of this file is dreadful.
there is a whistle and an echo and the equaliser can’t overcome it.
Appreciate the upload but if anyone has better audio please share.
Thank you!

Projection. Right. Trump is a softies, no anger there. Mass shooters, 99% male, white, and if mass murder isn’t an indicator of “anger” I don’t know what is. Similarly for the bombers, anti mask militia, actual nazis, pro-Confederates, Proud Boys. None of them are “angry”, despite all the threats, and actual murders, bombings, shooting, running down with cars. No, it’s the evil BLM marchers, its the “feminazis” or Trumps favourite Bogeyman, “antifa”; that doesn’t actually exist as an organisation, so ideal for Trump to “project” any evil he imagines.

Blacks and Whites as Victims and Offenders in Aggressive Crime in the U.S.
Myths and Realities
Nathaniel J. Pallone PhD & James J. Hennessy PhD
Abstract
This paper analyzes data on the annual incidence of aggressive crime (homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault) in relation to race, contrasting proportional distribution of Blacks and whites among victims and offenders in relation to their representation in the general U.S. population. Blacks are over-represented among offenders in each category of aggressive crime: in homicide at a level 315% greater than their representation in the general population, in sexual assault at a level 404% as great, in aggravated assault at 274% greater than their representation in the general population. Whites and “others” are under-represented among offenders. Blacks are at highly increased risk, relative to their representation in the nation’s population, for victimization in homicide and at some disadvantage (although not at a level appropriately denominated as risk in a statistical sense) for victimization in both sexual and aggravated assault. Episodes of criminal aggression initiated by white offenders account for slightly more than 73% of all single-offender episodes of aggressive crime, while episodes initiated by Black offenders account for approximately 27%, so that white-perpetrated criminal aggression exceeds Black-initiated criminal aggression at a ratio of 2.7:1. Blacks are represented among offenders in aggressive crime slightly more than twice their representation in the nation’s population. It is more than five times as likely that a white victim has been set upon by a white offender than by a Black offender and nearly seven times as likely that a Black victim has been set upon by a Black offender as by a white offender. It is 32 times as likely that a white offender will victimize another white as it is that he or she will victimize a Black. But Black offenders victimize whites as frequently as they victimize other Blacks. When gender and age are considered interactively with race, it is seen that Black males in adolescence and adulthood are at astronomically enhanced risk both for homicide offending and for victimization in homicide, such that Black males aged 18-24 are at a risk level for offending nearly 28 times greater and for victimization nearly 17 times greater than their representation in the national population. Data on divergence in “choice” of victim by Black offenders not inflected by age and on the astronomical risk for homicide offending by young Black men likely anchor a phenomenology of fear among whites.

This obsession with the Angry White Man has no foundation in reality.
The left would LIKE it to be true and in accordance with Marxist tactics try to convince us that, à la 1984, this is so.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
It’s The Angry White Man we see attacking the Police, burning buildings…
Antifa doesn’t exist…
Now, if that’s not projection…

@FlankHawk, just one note on the statistics you mentioned above in the abstract.
“Episodes of criminal aggression initiated by white offenders account for slightly more than 73% of all single-offender episodes of aggressive crime, while episodes initiated by Black offenders account for approximately 27%, so that white-perpetrated criminal aggression exceeds Black-initiated criminal aggression at a ratio of 2.7:1.”
The 2.7:1 ratio (while correct based on the aggregate total) is misleading when you consider there are 5 times are many whites in the US as blacks. On a per capita basis, that ratio would be 0.54:1.

@FlankHawk, whenever I hear Antifa doesn’t exist I keep thinking of the video shots from Berkley a few years ago.
A group of white supremists had gotten a permit to hold a rally in a Berkley park. And while I don’t agree with their message, they are entitled to free speech (no matter how pathetic it may be).
Anyway, the police had cordoned off the area with light fencing material, and this mob all wearing black clothing, ski masks, and goggles stormed the fencing and assaulted the few people that attended the rally.
The media was all over how Antifa broke up this rally…

@TotallyDisenfranchised
Well, I’m actually really tired of all this white-this or black-that stuff.
I truly think the left has made us all an enormous disservice with their identity politics.
Putting this emphasis on skin color and our belonging to different subgroups is a dead end.
Our commonality is so much more interesting and positive. And true.
But the left has an agenda. It’s not to build - it’s to tear down.
This obvious attempt to defame and disrupt is a (Marxist) tactic and “The Angry White Man” is part of it.
Unfortunately they’ve had some success and it feels like our Western Society has taken several steps backwards.
I’m sure you are very aware of all of this.
I just refuse to sit and do nothing and swallow all the garbage being thrown around.

I only see angry black men…. am I looking in the wrong places??

@leadingnorth
Living in the UK I can confirm that there are literally hordes of angry, middle-aged, red-faced and morbidly obese boomers holding the whole country to ransom. They are called “Gammon”. The “Gammon” are literally heart attacks, strokes, spontaneous human combustion etc waiting to happen, they are so full of anger. Aging disgracefully is the only suitable way to describe that generation.
August 26th, 2020
You can’t beat a nice bit of “Gammon” in yer gob, that’s what I apparently always say.
August 26th, 2020
A lazy author using simplistic hate speech. Blah, Blah, Blah.
A water boy for the msm and the DumboRats
Boring, childish and horrible biased.
August 27th, 2020
And people think I’m an “angry white man” … you guys leave me in the shade. Well done for illustrating exactly what the book is about.
August 27th, 2020
While anger isn’t a policy in itself, sometimes one does need to get a bit angry in order to change the stuff that needs alterin’ dammit.
August 29th, 2020
@caesar963: these guys are angry BECAUSE things are changing. Especially the things that “need altering” that benefited them at the expense of others.

@apollo60
You’ve read this one too??
Sir, I am jealous of all this time you have to just read or listen to books! You are truly blessed!
September 7th, 2020
I long for the day when white people do not immediately go into angry screeds over literally anyone else telling them about themselves. To have anyone recoil so violently from their reflection says more than any book could.
Thank you for the upload. Those of us who are literate beyond the bounds of forum posts and hastily google research abstracts appreciate it.

@marbles300
Indeed. White people really can’t take a drop of criticism. For example, there are well over a dozen countries where you can’t even question how many white jews died in the Holocaust, or even whether or not the gas chambers existed. Those darn white people have such a stranglehold on the acceptable discourse, and all the do is complain and complain.

The comments above prove the authur’s thesis to be true. AWM are the ruin of western society but always want to play victim. Great upload tho!

how is it that a man that lacks any masculinity gets to write a book about it? This is like a man writing what it feels like to have a period and no MEN DO NOT HAVE PERIODS OR VAGINAS.

Can anyone reseed please?
Also: All Trump voters can get fucked. Hope you’ll all hang someday.
