The Other Marge

I am relieved that Marjorie Schlappe Dufton did not live to suffer the ramblings of her namesake, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Ms Taylor-Greene stained the name Marjorie forever.

I hope that the Congresswoman was drunk when she called in to a podcast earlier this week. The Other Marge stated, “I believe that white men are the most persecuted minority in America. They are passed over for any sort of promotion or even being hired in the first place. This leads to hopelessness. They spend hours alone which turns them to all kinds of bad things — porn on the internet and crazy stuff in chat rooms.”

The Other Marge might have a point. The recent NFL Draft had only three white guys picked in the first round’s thirty-two selections. In fact, pro football rosters are 75% non-white. This year’s NBA Draft had exactly one American white guy among its thirty-two first round selections. If it weren’t for Europeans, several teams would have zero American white players. White high school and college athletes might as well get ready for that internet porn and whack-o chat rooms now.

Come to think of it, white guys miss out on getting “stopped and frisked” by police. Black guys get to spend their time in holding cells instead of their parents’ basement watching internet porn. Lucky them.

If The Other Marge is correct and white men are “the most persecuted minority in America”, it is surprising that 470 of the CEO’s of the Fortune 500 corporations are (you guessed it) white men.

The US Congress supposedly represents the American populace. America is 51% female. Congress is 15% female. America is 20% Black. Congress is 5% Black. America is 20% Hispanic. Congress is 5% Hispanic. America is 60% White. Congress is 90% White and all its leaders (except for Nancy Pelosi) are male. That’s not exactly a “persecuted minority”, Marge.
