Noted in Passing: White Guys pretty much built everything you see around you

In Praise of White Men |These men will do what others won’t.

No one wants to talk about this phenomenon, but working-class white men dominate just about every difficult and dangerous industry in America.

This is not to slight the Latino contribution to hard and dangerous work, especially in the Southwest, but Latinos are not the ones whose demise is being celebrated. Then too, unlike non-Latino white men, Latinos do have unearned “privilege.” For no easily explained reason, they receive preferential treatment in academia, in professions, and in the awarding of Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) contracts. Besides, “Latino” is no more a race than is “American.” Although Latinos come from various races, a healthy percentage of them identify as “white” because they are.

Throughout most of America, white men are the ones climbing utility poles after ice storms, digging in ditches after water main breaks, building our bridges, hollowing out our tunnels, catching our fish, harvesting our wheat, felling our timber, mining our coal, pumping our oil, and constructing our homes and offices. On average, about 5,000 people die each year from work-related injuries. Each year more than 90 percent of the dead are men.

    Let’s see these vibrant tribalists do without such “white inventions” as antibiotics, analgesics, air conditioning, aviation, automobiles, anesthesia, atomic energy… and that’s just the A’s.

    Forgot “Defend our Country” although I’m not sure it means the same thing today as it once did.

    I keep saying, those honky haters should boycott everything made by a Caucasian. Then move back to Africa, since they are African Americans.

    Another angle to look at the white race is (including white women) how many of the ‘A’ group listed by Gagdad above would there be today if there never was a white race- NONE.

    I, a white man, personally have never invented anything. My wife, a white woman has and her name is on the patents in DC. Not fake patents but real products that improve lives. My great grandfather, Mr. Maynard (white guy) was an inventor and one of his patents greatly improved keeping rats of docked ships.

    Some ass hat would possibly say that keeping rats off docked ships caused non-white ship stowaways to starve to death. Unintended consequence I am sure.

    1/2″ OSB price dropped by half in 1 month. Since I bought mine last week the price has dropped another $6. Now, it’s $19 and change. A month ago it was $56. Same with 2x boards too. Time to stock up afore they go back up.

    Menards wanted $88 for 1 battery for my Paslode cordless framing nailer. No way. I found some generic ones on bezo @ 2 for $26. They were delivered yesterday and went right on the chargers. This morning I popped the first one in and went to work. I got the sheet of OSB in place and while holding it up against the trusses with 1 hand I swung the nail gun up, upside down, to start nailing and the new battery came out and went skittering across the floor. DAM! I had to get down off the ladder, lower the plywood to the floor, go get the battery and put it back in the gun. Wait a minute. The spring catch on the battery isn’t engaging the latch on the gun. WTF? Under close examination the battery is flawed. So I grabbed the 2nd one and it worked perfectly. I set about installing 6 more sheets of OSB and took a break. Tomorrow that faltering battery is going back in exchange for one that works.
    signed,
    white dood, gettin shit dun
    that’s why I’m here

    This White world, is all I know. Won’t be quitting, until required by the big guy.

    If it’s any constellation with a last name of “ Williams”, when I sign any legal forms medical forms, I ALWAYS check Black when it comes to color. No idea why. Also check piglatin for language spoken.

    Fuckimg THEM!

    I’ve seen lots of white supremacy in action many times. The snowstorm of 2009 had utility workers from Old Dominion Power working around the clock to restore power. White guys they were/are.
    One Christmas eve, it was near zero and the main water line near our house had a leak. Who repaired it? A crew of white guys who, at times, were knee deep in freezing water. There were many other times white guys fixed things, mainly utilities, in every kind of weather. White supremacy for sure.
    If white guys went on strike for a couple of weeks, humans would be eating each other in the big cities.

    Long-time lurker here. I have kin that suffered through the Camp Fire, Gerard, so I feel a kinship of sorts with lamenting Paradise lost and read your blog nearly daily.

    That said, the graphic accompanying this article is ridiculous. Nobody seriously working on a construction site walks around in Skecher boat shoes while wearing brand new gloves to plumb a wall.

    Carry on, my friend.

    Good article.

    If you threw this guy an a Blender with Freed Reed, The Z Man, Frodi Midjord, and David Goldman (sic), we’d make it to Mars. Then we could genocide those #$%^ing Martians to a heavy metal Wagner mariachi soundtrack.

    What we call “Western Civilization” is a total creation of the White Man. Pick any ten of them from History—say, Socrates, Galen, Brahe, Michelangelo, Jefferson, Pasteur, Salk, Augustus, Pericles and Cicero—and find their equivalent in any other race. And please take your time. I’ll wait.

    You will not find them because they do not exist.

    Of the three main racial groups—Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid—the Caucasoid (what we call white men) is the only one since Adam and Eve that has advanced human freedom, knowledge and technology by any significant degree whatsoever.

    Mongoloid civilization—Asia and its offshoot, the pre-Columbians—have been in the business of slavery since History began. Not one of its members save for an infinitesimal number of elites, has known anything of freedom. No “Declaration”, no Hobbes, no “Bill of Rights” have ever appeared anywhere among them. The ruling classes have always treated those below them as nothing more than helots and human cattle. To take just one example among dozens: The Chinese government since 1949 has murdered 100,000,000 of its own citizens. It has become expert at raping Buddhist nuns to death and smashing in the skulls of female Chinese children. How’s that for “civilization”?

    As for the pre-Columbians, none of them advanced beyond the Stone Age. Their highest point of culture was the Aztecs. They developed neither the arch nor the wheel. They indulged in public sodomy in the streets of their capital Tenochtitlan. Human flesh was a delicacy offered up in the open air markets of that city. Under their emperor Ahuitzotl the Aztecs achieved a rate of human sacrifice almost equal to that of Auschwitz. Their priests bathed themselves in human blood, never washed and wore the flayed skins of victims until those skins rotted. The best things to have happened to these monsters was smallpox and Cortez.

    As for Negroid “civilization”: Would any Black Lives Matter member choose to live in Haiti? Would anyone who claims that the white race must be annihilated move to South Africa? Even when these brutes speak they do not use Kiswahili or Kikuyu, but a white man’s language, English.

    As a reminder and a favor to all those who hate the white race, please keep in mind that among the tens of thousands of things invented by whites is the gun, and that whites in the US alone have hundreds of millions of them.

    Your move.

    @David A. Cooper, it appears that dood is supposed to be building one of those OSHA required temporary railings on a multilevel construction site. Note the high rises in the background. That tinners hammer has never tasted that brand new hammer holster, and he’s wearing them little bitch socks. Gloves on a construction site. lol

  • Gordon Scott August 18, 2021, 8:09 PM

    I have seen gloves on a construction site. There’s welders’ gloves, for instance. I’ve also seen them on what I think were riveters, and jackhammer operators.

    But I get your point!

    The Hispanics get “privilege” since the Lefties group all the “Colored” together and haven’t figured out that the Hispanics despise the “African American” Blacks who are too lazy to pick up the opportunities that are at their feet. Even “Che” saw that game. The Illegal “Hispanics” are just more polite about it [for now]. I think that Compton (Calif) is how that ends.

    Compton was 100 % Black, and a non-profitable death trap with about 100 homicides per year. Now, that muniucipality is well over 60% Hispanic with virtually no “violent” crime. The surviving Black gang-bangers moved on to other ghettos.

    That, Chilluns, is why there is an “open border”. The Corruptocrats and the GOP traitors figured out that the “African American” population was always going to be a blood-soaked burden on their profits, so they ordered a replacement population. Seems obvious that burning out the downtown businesses in Dem/Prog cities was just clearing the ground for the new population. Guess what will be fleeing to your suburb….. Enjoy that deck/patio while you still can.

    That “Anonymous”(e) was me. Seems my handle got losted.

    Its all white men fighting the fires. In the Bay Area, it is almost all latinx doing construction. I don’t think they are “white hispanics” because they all speak Spanish, seldom understand English, and listen to Mexican radio.
