I Have Asked for Help

I have been asking for help, but evidently no one is listening. I have sent emails to the famous people and have had no response. The latest one being Ellen, telling her all my ideas for jokes and shows, but no response. Does anyone really care about their fellow man. I am past the point of asking for help, mainly because no one has given, but another reason being that I am a white male. I work with a black woman whose child is getting all she wants for Christmas, thanks to various government agencies. My children will receive no help, because I am a white male. My wife cannot help because she is also white. It no longer matters that she is a woman, which used to be cause for a minority. No, now you have to be a person of color and it really helps if you are not from this country and can barely speak the language. There are so many ways that the United States will help any minority that isn't white, but if you are white you are now on your own.

I would not like to change places with people of color, I know they have it hard enough already, especially the ones that live here in East Tennessee. I am just saying that I, the white male am now the minority. I have lost countless jobs and even job interviews because the companies needed to hire or interview minorities and I am finding out now that my wife is missing out on job interviews because she is white. I really really understand that people of color have hard times, I'm just saying that they are not the only ones. It continues to get harder and harder for a white, especially white male to get an even shake in this world.

I don't know who to complain to, but I need to find someone to listen, because it will affect my 2 sons in a few years. When my boys decide to go to college, it is harder for them to get into college than a person of color. The requirements to get into a good school are higher for Caucasians. Minorities can get in with lower ACT or SAT scores and much lower grade point averages. What is wrong with this picture? Should not equality be for everyone? Not just for minorities but also for the majority. Why does the majority have to reach higher standards to just be considered for the same advantages presented to minorities? I don't know and no one that is a white male like myself can answer the question or we would be branded as racist. You may think I am racist for writing this, but that is another double standard. A white man can write this and they are racist, a person of color writes something and they are using their freedom of speech.
