Wisconsin Massacre: Why Is It Always Some Unemployed Drunk Guy Who Is Convinced His Race Is Superior?
- Wade Michael Page
The newest details to emerge about Sunday’s horrific massacre at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin indicate the gunman, Wade Michael Page, was previouslydemoted and discharged from the U.S. Army after being found drunk during military exercises and was later fired from his trucking company after being pulled over in North Carolina for driving while impaired. The bald, overweight, heavily tattooed 40 year-old was also a white supremacist.
A white supremacist. As in, a person who believes that his own Caucasian race is superior to other races. As in, this guy pictured above — the one demoted from the military and fired from his job for being drunk – woke up one day and wondered “Doesn’t it seem like white people are just, like, better than non-white people? I mean, let’s take a look at Exhibit A, shall we? [Gazes admiringly into mirror.]“
It’s never the genetic lottery winners who look in the mirror and wonder these things. You never hear about, say, Ryan Lochte claiming white superiority. It would still be wrong, of course, but at least you could see where he was coming from: ”Look, Ryan, we can totally understand how you would make this mistake. You swim ridiculously fast, you’re pretty hot. We can see how you would maybe wonder if you’re better than everyone else. And actually, you kind of are. But that doesn’t mean the rest of your entire race is better than any other race. I mean, look at Usain Bolt, for instance — pretty fast, pretty handsome, right? Or, you know, Rush Limbaugh, if you’re looking for a counter-example.“
But you never actually need to say that to Ryan Lochte, because it’s never the Ryan Lochtes of the world claiming white superiority…
- THIS… and yet, he’s still not a white supremacist.
It’s never the Neil de Grasse Tysons claiming black superiority…
He can explain 14 billion years of cosmic evolution and rocks a devastating mustache...and yet, he's still not a black supremacist.
It’s never that guy from Lost claiming Asian superiority…
He was on one of the most popular television shows in history and is ranked the 81st most handsome man on TV...and yet, he's still not an Asian supremacist.
No, it’s always This Guy who looks in the mirror and concludes that whatever race produced him must be the most superior race on Earth…
- Believes his race is superior to others

The reason it is always a drunk white person claiming superiority is because society has created an environment where inferior people are given a free pass at the expense of other more qualified people.
The smartest person on earth may be black, hispanic, or asian but the facts of the matter suggest that is is the white race responsible for virtually every significant invention and modern convienence known to man.
This guy was sick and misguided, but he had to learn his messed up ways from somewhere. Perhaps the frustration of living amongst all the political correctness caused him to snap.
He is dead, that is good. We need to treat all terrorist acts the same and neutralize them as soon as they happen. But just like islam falseley trains kids about america, america falsely trains its people about the rest of the world.
Not all cultures are equal and some are hundreds of years behind by their own volition. We live in a politically correct world with silent affirmative action. Just like a black person knew that jim crow laws held them back, many whites know that benign incognito affirmative action is holding them back too.
If you want to stop these nut jobs then you need to do it through real education, not the watered down crap that blames white america for every slight while ignores the devastation caused by non whites. Thomas Jefferson sent the navy after the Muslim barbary pirates in 1804. In the textbooks they are now just "pirates".

I could leave a long list of the important contributions of people from races besides the white one and I could supplement that list with a list of innovations by nonwhite folks that were the basis for later inventions of those modern conveniences that you love so much. But the truth is, I only need two words: Peanut Butter.

I was trying to come up with a response, but you, sir, just nailed it. You win one (1) internets.

Most of those great inventions created by white people couldn't have been made without the system of numerals, decimals and algebra invented by Muslims (who are Caucasian but wouldn't be considered "white" by Page and probably Taylor). And Page wouldn't have been able to have his little party without gunpowder, which was invented by the Chinese, though they used it mostly for the civilized purpose of fireworks.

I am a liberal who hates white people and america. Blacks invented everything and I think we should give them all of our money
