Coates letter: Angry white males

In response to the liberal article by Francis Wilkinson, “The beginning of the end for angry white males?” Aug. 24, I ask what’s so wrong with being an angry white male?

If you didn’t have us you wouldn’t have a nation called the United States of America. Slavery would still be in business. America would have been split in two after the Civil War. Hitler would have been triumphant. And communism and now radical Islam would take over the world.

I’m proud to be an American angry white male and getting angrier and angrier at the cesspool of lies, corruption, betrayal and liberal treason spreading like a malignant terminal cancer, but in the name of political correctness told to, “Sit down and shut up you racist.”

I’m not racist and don’t expect me to become extinct anytime soon.

Duane Coates, Meridian
