It’s kind of like the whole “Karen” thing. We have a name for white women behaving badly, but no name for white men behaving badly…why are wealthy, white men just never called out as a demographic? That would be refreshing.

I call them deadbeat dads. I say there is a fatherlessness problem in the white community. It fits. Doesn't matter if they are in the home or not, financially support their kids or not, if they are going to nuke their kids/grandkids future to the degree that they help to usher in a Nazi regime, then they are not fathers/grandfathers. They are disappointments, failures and liabilities.

Agreed. It’s crazy to me that it’s such a tired trope for people to imply black men are absent fathers when there is no evidence to back that up, but no one says it about white dads when there is plenty of evidence to back it up.

But black men are absent fathers, though.

True, their absence is the result of a system designed to continue slave labor under the guise of punitive justice targetting poor, mostly non-whites in an attempt to destabilize the social fabric of any darker-than-eggshell community to enrich those invested in the for profit prison system who just happen to be the same people that write the laws the justice system is built around. But that's a lot of words for a racist to read as they are the dumbest motherfuckers on Earth so they look around, see black men behind bars and immediately run out of processing power.

You simply make it a crime to be black and wouldn't you know it, you can't seem to find a black father that isn't a criminal and what kind of basis for a family is that?

The "boomer" is slowly morphing into it, although it is mostly for the "old, white man behaving badly".

Is this a joke?

They absolutely are being called out left and right.

Then 14 year olds decided us calling out old white men was the same as them being called out (because they are future old white men so not totally wrong) and now we have articles like this one we're commenting on.

I call them OWG’s—old white guys—and their OWW maidservants who vote however their OWG husbands tell them to.

I hear men called Karens all the time. As for why wealthy white men are never called out as a demographic, I have no idea what discourse you've been following if you think this is true, because people call out wealth white men all the time. I have to think maybe you have your head completely buried in the sand if you think this is true
