White, Middle Class, Teenage, Male Problem

  Teen shooter kills 3 children, teacher in Oregon elementary school before being shot by bystander Updated 4:07 AM EDT, Fri October 16, 2026   (CNN) According to data from the Census Reporter and U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the racial and ethnic composition of Bend is approximately: White (non-Hispanic): ~81% to 82.6% White, non-Hispanic students make up 44 percent of U.S. public school students. [ 1 ] --- We have a white, middle class, teenage male problem in the United States!    Though, the facts in Bend, Oregon are not known to the public, it likely that the deceased 16 year old alleged killer fits this profile.    A significant percentage of the killers have faced rejection from female peers, and disproportionately have killed females, including teachers, and fellow students (when those killed were peers, rather than being younger children.

Looking to the present and future as a 75 year old, cis, het, white man, I see a lot, some of which I want to share here.   On the whole – It “ain’t pretty”.    1.)     Donald Trump – age 80 2.)     Chuck Schumer– 6 months older than me 3.)     Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts a few years younger than me 4.)     Republican – Senate and House Leadership (4 individuals) – between age 54 and 65.

Bibi - Israel - Always the Victor?

  Bibi Harim responded to a posting of mine on Medium .    I believe that I won’t misquote his words, by using all of them in this writing. Based upon searching the internet, I’m guessing that Bibi Harim is shown below in a few ways from his self-disclosures.    Unlike nearly all those who respond negatively to my writings related to Israel and the Palestinians, Bibi makes some specific statements, allowing me to respond below.   Bibi – I’m open to dialogue – and also will be happy to correct any factual errors I may posit below.   The best way for us to dialogue would be via email.   My email address is my last name – followed by the first three letters of my first name – and it’s with gmail.    I might even be open to a joint posting which would obviously show both differencs and perhaps even common ground we might have.   You: Intro Author at Self-Employed Worked at  Hard Knocks University Studied Aero Engi...

Excellent Reading: Ijeoma Oluo's - MEDIOCRE: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America

MEDIOCRE: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America , Ijeoma Oluo’s wonderful follow-up to  So You Want to Talk About Race , is well worth reading, especially for us white men! Some quotes from the book are a good place to start: Biden got the message.   If he continued to defend busing, he ran the real risk of becoming a one-term senator.  In 1975, Joe Biden stunned his Senate colleagues by throwing his support behind known segregationist Jesse Helm’s proposed antibusing amendment to the Constitution.  p.65 … In a later television interview, Biden told the Senate, “I have become convinced that if the US government didn’t come up with a different solution for school segregation than busing, “we are going to end up with the races at war.”  Biden explained that the good white people he represented weren’t racist, but busing might make them so: “You take people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education and opportunity, an...
