It seems that in this new millennium man has come fairly far in his ability to accept those that are different from him. Thanks largely in part to those fearless warriors of the civil rights movement, as well as the feminist and gay rights movements. There are also many more people willing to look past ones color, sex, or partner preference, and treat others as equals. This is also due to a bit of mans spiritual awakening, and we mustn't forget to give thanks for Gods help in all this either.

However, there seems to be a new form of discrimination forming, especially in this country we call America. This discrimination comes in various forms; it's harder for these people to receive help from government agencies, such as welfare, or student loan and grant agencies. They aren't even allowed to have their own private clubs. Even worse, these people can be turned down for employment based on who they are.

The people I am speaking of have become the new minority in this country, and are discriminated against more than any other group of people in existence, mostly because they are the only group left who don't have special protection. I am speaking of the straight, white male. Don't seem so shocked, and try to keep your jaw from dropping because it's true!

This is the one group of people who have no special rights, or even advocates speaking up for them. See, when you take several groups of peoples, who alone make up a small percentage of the population, and group them together into one category, minorities, you now have a single group of people who suddenly become the majority, therefore, they are no longer the minority.

Takeaways
  • I believe everyone should have an equal opportunity.
  • I'm curious to see if the statistics wouldn't show straight white men to be the minority.
  • Why is it that I can't get a scholarship to go to school from the United Negro College Fund?

Again, excellent writing. Unfortuntaely, there will always be discrimination it is the nature of man. I think you make some great points. However, Up untill recently the ONLY group of people that were never deiscriminated against were straight white males. Thou unfair perjhaps it was time for the "Chosen Few" so to speak to experience what evryone else has had to deal with for many centuries. Your anger is no less than any other group that has this dealt to them throuout time. Maybe now with "Everyone" understanding what discrimination feels like, it will be a better world. Keep writing, we need to hear all sides of the issues. Love, Mom
