Working Towards Necessary, Systemic Change
I
N T R O D U C T I O N
This writing focuses upon cis-gendered, upper-middle
class white men in the United States (USians) who want real systemic
equality.
The United States needs (positive) radical systemic
change. We recognize the “Joe Bidens”
as our leaders. Behind the scenes, the
real work has been, and continues to be, done by the others
who are not powerful, wealthy white men.
Black women (basically) elected Joe Biden. Black women did most of the significant (basic,
core) work that resulted in the passage of the Civil Rights laws of the 1960’s.
White liberal and radical
upper-middle class/wealthy men wield a lot of potential power, far more than
others (besides other similarly well-off white men).
We, cis-gendered white men frequently “rest on our
laurels”. We do some good things, but
don’t exert our potential power, seriously helping build equality for all.
The 2022 elections may radically shift power to the
right.
(March 30,
2022) -Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), who chairs the committee responsible for
electing Republican senators, has produced an “11-point plan to rescue
America.” It dramatically raises taxes on people who earn less than $100,000,
and ends Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
With a 6
to 3 majority on the Supreme Court, Republicans have also taken aim at abortion
rights and are now talking about ending other civil rights protected by the
federal government after 1950: the right to birth control, interracial
marriage, and same-sex marriage. (my boldface)
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-30-2022?s=r
We need to immediately build a movement
of white men seeking positive systemic change!
We need to:
1. do
our own personal and political work,
2. reach
other “woke”, and “almost woke” white men, strengthening our effort,
3. diversify
as we grow, reaching more white men, and
4. network
with, and support others, helping build a powerful movement.
This
writing hopefully will, at a minimum, influence a few white men. While the odds
are against us, we must help build support for people we generally ignore. Others, such as BIPOC, women, trans folks –
are already doing serious work!

I lived along Sheridan
Road, in Chicago. The “Loyola
University” signage instantly transformed a young man’s car and body into a
large, flat piece of metal. He hadn’t
made the curve, crashing his car driving 130 mph. We kill each other for “respect”. Opioids and suicide take too many of us! I didn’t cry at 13, when my father died. It took me 17 more years, until I let myself
cry! Being: “a man” is my - and
our burden.
We are quite toxic! We are accurately perceived as a threat by
many, such as women and Black People! They
may also be trans, queer, lesbian and/or gay.
Other white men and children are often scared of us. Sadly, too often, we are afraid of ourselves.
We should be challenging ourselves - stopping our
destructive paths.
The poison extends far beyond Vladimir Putin and
Donald Trump, today’s ultimate, toxic white males! We, white men, disproportionately affect the
lives of others. White men hold 62 percent of all elected
offices despite being just 30 percent of the population… https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/555503-new-study-finds-white-male-minority-rule
Mean individual white income
is $71,125.40. Median individual white
income is $50,106. Black, Native, and
Latino earnings are roughly 2/3 of white averages. (Asian income is modestly
higher ). https://dqydj.com/income-by-race/
White women earn 83.2 percent as much as
their male counterparts… https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/wkyeng.pdf

long (and detailed)! Readers – are

H T R A P
Hey, we’re doing really great – we
white men – aren’t we! Wait a minute! We
don’t look so good at staying alive. Our basic survival rates are pretty bad!
Start by looking at the Death Rates: Table
I (in SOURCES – at end).
Note that teenage boys and men into
our 20’s and 30’s die much more frequently than girls and women do. All male death rates are higher than the
female rates from our first year of life through those who live beyond age 85.
-Let’s look next at us who are white and male.
See -
DEATH RATES: TABLE II (&
III) (in SOURCES – at end),
There has been a significant increase in white
death rates between 2010 and 2019.
Comparable Black, Latino and Asian death rates have declined and are
significantly below the rates for white people.
Young and middle-aged adults
(25-64 years old) in the U.S. have been dying at higher rates since 2010,
according to a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering,
and Medicine. …
The rising death rate is due
primarily to drug overdoses, alcohol, suicides, and cardiometabolic conditions
— a category that includes diabetes and heart diseases caused by high blood
pressure
… From 1990 to 2017 fatal drug
overdoses in working-age Americans increased in every state, but increases were
especially high in Appalachia, New England, and the industrial Midwest
T H E I N C O M
E T R A P
Let’s look further at us, the white
people. On average, we have more wealth
and greater income. See: INCOME TABLE III and WEALTH TABLE I (SOURCES – at end). Some
white men earn substantially more than those who are not white males. The mean (average) white man earns
significantly more than the total household income of 70% of American families.
Three-fifths of American households
have a gross income of $70,000 or less.
Two-fifths of American households have a gross income of $40,000 or
less. https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R44705.pd
USian households are two-thirds white (see: OTHER - NUMBER
OF US HOUSEHOLDS (SOURCES- at end). Black and Latino households are on average,
poorer than white households.
Because of how many families are white, far more
white households are low income, than BIPOC households.
MANLINESS
Being
male is a major challenge!
In Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of
Connection:
Niobe Way reveals the intense intimacy among teenage boys
especially during early and middle adolescence. … Yet in late adolescence, boys
feel they have to “man up” by becoming stoic and independent. Vulnerable emotions and intimate friendships
are for girls and gay men. “No homo”
becomes their mantra. https://www.amazon.com/Niobe-Way/e/B001JS7ULO%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share
Our lives as boys are generally significantly different from the lives of
girls!
I observed a group of roughly five year old girls. They were playing in the common area in front
of our townhouse, “play-acting” a fight.
Each girl a different role. There
were detailed discussions as to how each girl should act.
I was surprised! My son, of a
similar age, would have been playing with toys, not children. In organized sports it was the ball or bat,
not his relationship to others.
Growing up, we face increasing pressures to be
“a man”. Significant numbers of
us become what I would call “male outcasts”. We “outcasts” are a varied lot. Gay men may look “femme” or “buff” or
“normal” (e.g. “het”).
We
may be trans and/or gender fluid.
We may or may not identify as male. We may wish to be referred to
as “they/them” rather than as “he/him”. We may use other gender pronouns such as: “he/they”,
“xe/xem” or “ze/zim”. We outcasts may be
neurodiverse (vs. neurotypical). We may have serious physical and/or mental
health issues. We may not fit in as a boy or as a man!
We often feel pressures to excel in sports.
Studies have found that female athletes tend to be more
team-oriented than male athletes. They are more focused on self-improvement
rather than winning at all costs. Girls are more likely to value team unity
than boys. They are also more likely to blame themselves than others in defeat.
Coaches moving from one gender to the other must adjust their style and message
as a result.
https://www.sportsrec.com/8266790/does-participation-in-sports-negatively-affect-academics
We learn to shoot the ball, regardless of the defense. We need to be taught to pass the ball. Girls often need to be taught to shoot the
ball, not to pass it all the time.
As Niobe Way spoke of (above), we learn to: man up. It is the kiss of death to be a“f+g”
or “a girl”. We feel
pressures from our parents and other adults.
Often – the biggest pressures we face are from male peers. We fear ridicule and being kicked out of “the
club”. We learn to hide our doubts,
our fears. The dangers are from both
others, and ourselves. Being a man means
not being a loser!
The movies, television, and other media reinforce that we should be an
unreachable the best. It may be
in football. It may be in school. It may be the top doctor or lawyer, if not
the fighter. There always is another
who is a step or more ahead of us.
Girls
and women, are the caretakers.
Big sisters take care of the younger children. Far less frequently do
big brothers have similar responsibilities. We lean on our mothers, and later
on girlfriends/wives for emotional support.
Parents
teach us to carry out the garbage and mow the yard. Later on we may learn to financially support
our family. With aging parents, we
learn to manage their financial affairs.
We may
rule over others because we are the man. We do not become the glue
that holds the family together. The
woman skips work to take care of the sick child. The wife prepares supper, even when her work
hours are equal to or greater than her partner’s hours.
When a
family member is hurting, it is the woman’s responsibility to reach out to
them. The wife cares for the
emotional needs of the aging parents.
Only in same sex relationships does the wife have a partner to
emotionally support her.
As men
we to focus upon what is directly in front of our noses.
Children
become relevant when they are ours.
Aging becomes relevant when a parent (or we) get(s) old. Physical and mental health are relevant when
we face immediate health issues, that we can’t ignore any longer.
Rape
is (only) a women’s issue, unless our wife, mother, daughter, or sister has
recently been raped. Gay/lesbian/trans
issues matter when someone close to us comes out to us.
Racism
was an issue – in the months – after George Floyd was killed. For many white men it no longer is a serious
issue, because it doesn’t directly impact our lives. It isn’t that we don’t care! It is when, and how we care.
We
like to listen to ourselves or white men who agree with us. Women are only women. Black and Latino People are those people. The U.S. is #1 and Make America
Great Again resonated with many USians well before the recent Russian
invasion of Ukraine.
When
were we great? We have a “mythological
past” we:
1.
civilized the heathen Native Americans,
2.
built an economic powerhouse on the backs
of Black slaves.
3.
saved the world for democracy, while
Adolph Hitler modeled some of his Holocaust planning on how Blacks were treated
here, and
4. ended racism by passing important Civil Rights legislation in the 1960s, while strangely police killings of Black People persist, our schools are frequently segregated today, etc.
A
vivid example is how Carl Braden, with his wife Anne Braden, sought to end
segregation in the Louisville Area in the mid-20th Century.
In
1954:
The
Bradens purchased a house on behalf of the Wades in Shively, an all-white neighborhood in the Louisville
metropolitan area, and
deeded it over to the Wade family. White segregationists immediately lashed
out – initially by throwing rocks through the windows of the house, burning a cross in front of it, and firing gunshots into
the home – and then bombed the house (setting off explosives under the
bedroom of the Wades' young daughter while the home was occupied), driving the
Wades out and destroying the home. As a result of their actions, Carl Braden
was charged with sedition. Although housing discrimination was illegal,
the U.S. Supreme Court ruling specifically on a case in Louisville, Buchanan
v. Warley, in
1917, charges were brought against Braden for hatching a communist plot to stir
up a race war. A friend of the Wades was also charged with bombing the house to
make it appear to have been done by others. No charges were filed regarding the
other incidents. [1] Braden denied the accusations that his
purchase of the house and its subsequent bombing were all part of a
"communist plot", and denied that he had ever been a member of
the Communist
Party.[1] He was convicted on December 13, 1954,
and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Immediately upon his conviction, he
was fired from the Courier-Journal, and he served seven months of his
sentence before he was released on a $40,000 bond pending appeal – the
highest bond ever set in Kentucky up to that time.[1][2] His conviction was then overturned.[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Braden
We say that we support democracy. We financially and otherwise heavily support
Ukrainian resistance to the Russian army’s invasion.
”There are currently more than 65 Israeli laws
that discriminate against Palestinian citizens in Israel and
Palestinian residents of the Occupied
Palestinian Territories, according to Adalah, The Legal Center for
Arab Minority Rights in Israel.” An
example: “The Nakba Law introduced in 2011 allows the
finance minister to reduce funding or support to an institution if it holds an
activity that commemorates Israel’s Independence Day as a day of mourning. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/7/19/five-ways-israeli-law-discriminates-against-palestinians).
Twenty percent of Israeli citizens are
Palestinian. A little less than 30% more
Palestinians are stateless residents under Israeli control since 1967.
Multiple studies including a recent detailed
recent U.N. study describe the situation as “Apartheid”. Politicians and other prominent USians face
strong pressures to support Israel.
Those and supporting the Palestinian cause are frequently accused of
being Anti-Semites. Many states
penalize U.S. businesses who support a peaceful economic boycott (BDS) of
Israel.
We proclaim that girls and women have equal
rights. Disproportionately boys and
men sexually and physically assault girls and women, as well as other men.
We do not consistently support democracy! We do not systemically confront racism,
sexism, classism, homo/lesbian/trans phobias and much more!
P R I V I L E G E
I
have major privilege! I have much more
potential “power” than a significant majority of other USians. In this section, and the section that follow
below, I will discuss both the importance of privilege, and how we can fail
miserably when we simplistically label others as “privileged”.
My
privilege includes that I am:
1.
White
2.
Male
3.
Upper-Middle Class
4.
Cis-Gendered
5.
Highly “educated”
6.
Physically and mentally healthy and
7.
An Adult
My
life partner has similar privilege, with the exceptions that she is:
1.
Black
2.
Female
3.
Queer Identified
4. Physically
challenged
Others
lacking my privilege are treated differently in significant ways such as they:
1.
are often followed by security
personnel when shopping in stores,
2.
feel compelled to cross streets in the
dark, to avoid passing a man walking in their direction,
3.
avoid exceeding the speed limit - at all -
when driving,
4.
never make u-turns,
5.
are EXTREMELY careful during traffic stops
out of a fear of being killed.
Lacking
privilege is stressful! I can and do
take a lot of things for granted, that my life partner and others must pay
significant attention to.
Being aware of, and paying attention to privilege,
is important! It also isn’t the whole
picture!
Trauma significantly impacts the lives of many
people! A man may feel
traumatized hearing repeated stories about local urban crime. Their suburban home may feel unsafe.
The feelings are real, regardless of whether they are
grounded in reality. People with
unresolved feelings can easily be open to the emotion laden words of
others. Politicians, television
commentators and other public figures often exploit such fears with
manipulative rhetoric.
Many white people, especially white men, feel
threatened by our changing country. The
increasing numbers and influence of immigrants and other BIPOC challenge their
self-worth simply by being who they are.
Often their feelings are deeply tied to racist resentment as well as
homo/trans phobias.
Levels of trauma can, of
course be deep, including for example:
1.
witnessing close friends or relatives
being killed,
2.
losing a parent while young, or
3.
being raised by an abusive parent.
Republicans, some wealthy people and the right-wing
play off working class white people against their Black and Latino
counterparts. They label us: socialists,
radicals, elitist-liberals, and much more.
Frequently we play along with the right by arguing
facts. They ignore the facts or readily
discount them. Fear and emotions are
what we are up against. Parents
fears for their children, varied economic fears in a world of seeming shrinking
resources, and similar, are dwelled upon by Fox News, Republican politicians,
and others who profit from their words.
Where
people experience clear racism, they often face extensive additional trauma
related to multiple horrible things that they have lived through. Some have lost close friends to police
killings, being held-up at gunpoint, and being sexually and/or physically
abused. Those facing racism are
immaterial to the right.

R I V I L E G E R E V I S I T E D
White men are frequently told that they have
significant privilege. Where white men
are struggling to:
1. keep
a roof over their heads, and/or
2. get
necessary medical treatment, and/or
3. cope
with serious mental health issues, and/or alcohol/drug dependency,
and similar, such words may ring hollow. They may see women and/or BIPOC People who
appear to have far more privilege than they have.
Class-status is important! A white man with little formal education and
a household income of $40,000/year will readily see from his perspective, that
being white and male doesn’t give him privilege. Many
women and Black People clearly are economically doing much better than he is.
If I confront a fellow white man initially saying things
to him like:
1. You
have significant white, male privilege,
2. Black
Lives Matter
3. You
ought to be ___
4. You
Republicans just don’t care
and similar, regardless of the truth of the
statement, will rarely do more than ensure that this man will not hear anything
more that I may say. Such statements say
much more about me than him.
We need to find better ways of connecting with and
influencing other white men! It helps
to listen to their concerns and to show empathy. We need to try to find common ground, which
may allow us to work effectively together.
Building trust and rapport is important!
Blindly pushing our ideas won’t help!
Many of us have significant privilege. We can and often do have “good lives”. We don’t need to seriously deal with systemic
problems others are up against every day.
We can enjoy our golf or tennis, and not concern ourselves with “politics”. Others can’t avoid racism, sexism and/or
similar!
We face two levels of challenge with such men:
1. getting
them to see the importance of working seriously for change, and
2. helping
them find, and sustain, meaningful involvement in one or more causes.
S
O W H A T DO
WE DO? - C O N C L U S I O N S
We should start, supporting the work of “the others”,
be they female, Queer, BIPOC, for example.
Partnering with fellow white, male activists and
potential activists is necessary.
Working alone is not a viable option.
We should support each other, in challenging, caring ways.
We must start locally, and expand, coalescing
nationally. As we develop critical mass,
we can branch outward. We should build
connections with less woke men, especially poor and working class men, who
may have bought the right’s lies.
We need to listen, and really hear others. Hearing their stories, we may be able to
share some of ours. Then we can confront
- The Blame Game - helping white (wo)men learn that they are played off
against Black, Latino, and Native People.
We can share how wealthy elites profit by hurting the rest of us.
We need to help others see how class is used
against us. We can share how we are needlessly,
deliberately divided by: race, gender, class and similar. Our diversity should be a strength, rather
than a polarizing agent.
When we judge other white men, before listening to
their concerns, we typecast them, typically erroneously, as “the enemy”. We need to presume that many of them are
reachable. They have commonly bought
into the “zero sum myth” – that falsely says that if “the others”
gain, that they must lose.
We play the right’s “games”. We argue facts. We accurately state: “climate
change is destroying the earth”. They play
upon fears and emotion. “Those
immigrants steal your jobs”. “Blacks and
gays aren’t waiting in line, instantly pushing above us.”
The right has six likely Supreme Court votes against
us. They are suppressing the rights of
many BIPOC people to vote. Soon abortion will not be a woman’s right.
We are trying to find ourselves. We don’t feel an urgency to act now. We don’t experience immediate threats that
others face every day. We don’t want to
make any mistakes! Every day that we
don’t do all that we can, we face increasing odds against us!
Now
we need to begin doing much more! We
must join others in “doing the work”, building towards meaningful, systemic
change! Let’s:
· Listen
and learn from others – sharing what works and doesn’t work
· Have
urgency – with patience,
· Support
BIPOC, Women, Queer/Trans People – following their leadership,
· Do
both our Personal and Political Work – with each other such as being an active
member of a white affinity group,
· Take
care of ourselves – share food, celebrate, relax, take limited time off
We must recognize how
toxic masculinity hurts others, and ourselves.
We must hear each other, recognizing both our commonality and uniqueness,
as white men.
We must model a new
masculinity !!
1.
Moving into our hearts and spirits –
(using, but not being stuck in our heads),
2.
Being curious,
3.
Extending the ”cocoons”, limiting
us, building ever widening circles and spheres, far beyond what we can envision
now.
I need to build curiosity
and learn about menstruation, East African cultures, the lives of my Queer and
Trans brethren, as well as other important issues like climate change.
Building lasting
community requires us to:
1.
Do both our personal, and political work, into
the distant future,
2.
Help Motivate others – white men (and
others) – in our own unique ways,
3.
Show Loving care for others, and
ourselves, and
4.
Honor – the spirit the: sun, moon, and the
raging and peaceful water.
Thanks!

WEALTH TABLE I
New data
from the 2019 Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) show that long-standing and
substantial wealth disparities between families in different racial and ethnic
groups were little changed since the last survey in 2016; the typical White
family has eight times the wealth of the typical Black family and five times
the wealth of the typical Hispanic family. …
In the 2019
survey, White families have the highest level of both median and mean family
wealth: $188,200 and $983,400, respectively (Figure 1). Black and Hispanic
families have considerably less wealth than White families. Black families'
median and mean wealth is less than 15 percent that of White families, at
$24,100 and $142,500, respectively. Hispanic families' median and mean wealth
is $36,100 and $165,500…
