“…US.White men, such as myself, have proven ourselves to be one of the most dangerous groups in the country.  We are the most likely demographic to be responsible for killing sprees, leading dangerous cults, or plotting acts of violent treason–what we might call White Male Terror.  At the same time, white men show a sneering disregard for other groups that are not us, insisting on lax gun laws that lead to spillover violence in Latin America, rejecting the “redistribution of wealth” after generations of benefiting from a rigged economic system, and jealously preserving the legal institution of male privilege by obstructing a constitutional amendment that would make women equal in the eyes of the law.  White men have proven themselves unwilling to integrate into American society–even after 500 years of residency.  White men cultivate insular subcultures, breeding grounds for the white male’s predominant currency: a sense of invincibility.  And it is when this armor of invulnerability is winched apart–as it always will be–that WMT seeps out into the open.

The situation would be much less urgent if more white men were speaking out against WMT.  You never hear white men coming forward on the news to denounce WMT, therefore we can only conclude that most white men silently agree with it.  The time for coddling this group beneath the shield of political correctness has passed.  White maleness is not, as the bleeding hearts plead, a neutral “identity”: it is a rigid political ideology that fixates on violence and displays of power.”

The above passages come from a blog post written by Donovan Schaefer a few years ago. I think it rings true today more than ever following the horrendous racially motivated terrorist attack that occurred in Charleston, South Carolina on June 17, 2015.

Schaefer admits that this call for racial profiling is “half flippant–a sardonic parody of the kneejerk self-righteousness of Islamophobic discourse–and half serious critique of the disturbed crossing point between whiteness and masculinity” but I honestly, on some level, feel that if there is a group that does deserve to be racially profiled, it is white males from the United States, like me…and maybe a good place to start would be with the ones who refuse to remove the confederate flag vanity plates from their pick up trucks…
