"I was curious to see who in our small, fairly wealthy town was fired up enough to actually get out there and hold signs for Brown -- turns out, a hockey dad and the assistant Pop Warner football coach, both white guys in their 40s, both small business owners. These guys may possibly have voted for Obama, but that's about as far over on the macho scale as they'd ever be willing to go. Guaranteed they voted for Celtics owner Steve Pagliuca in the primary, or possibly brawlin' Mike Capuano, but when Coakley won, they were out of there."

I grew up in upper Fairfield County, CT and these are the same people that I moved far away from.

See American Beauty. Not my favorite movie but it does portray a not too off picture of what suburbs are like.
White middle aged men :puke:

1. Yeah...white middle aged men...THAT's the problem!

What a stupid fucking observation. White middle aged men are just one part of suburbia, and suburbia is but one part of our larger society. I notice that Sullivan didn't puke on white middle aged men, you did. So I'll leave my flaming bag full of disdain on your doorstep.

5. Well, I agree with him. It's definitely here in my suburb. Angry white men with TEA stickers.

8. Thank you.

I am just pointing out my experiences in life.
There are angry white men who blame the world (especially minorities/women) for their problems.

[MellowDem]

10. And then there are bigots like you...

who blame angry white men for their problems. Hypocrisy, anyone?

[MellowDem]

9. Well, you're a bigot with him then...

glad you could join the party. You and the tea baggers have a lot in common, you know.

[MellowDem]

2. Bigotry...

you might want to look it up. I'm surprised your post hasn't been locked by now. Well, not really, this being DU, but the hypocrisy is blinding. You are a bigot.

4. Rich white men being replaced by rich latino men or black men is not something to celebrate

6. No one can predict the future 20 years out.

Just imaging trying to predict the present based on the trends of 1990.

7. I'm guessing you are a conservative troll...

from the all caps and the recent Scott Brown victory, here to stir things up. If you're not, I suggest you join them, your hate and ignorance will fit right in with the rest of the right-wing.

13. Most conservative people I know are "minorities".

my Vietnamese neighbor, specifically, could be Newt 's fan clup president. Go figure.

11. Are Angry White Men to blame for Coakley's lame campagin ....

and did they stop any AA and other members of the Dem base from voting???

[Jennicut]

12. They totally remind me of the guys I grew up with in Cheshire, CT.

And their fathers. Wealthy and a bit sexist. Sometimes they were Rethugs but not always. Suburbs in New England.

But Coakley also ran a horrible campaign.

[Grand Taurean]

14. Yes Coakley ran a poor campaign

and she needs to retire now.
Still does not excuse the angry white suburban men.
