Its not just white men- most people who are angry get more angry and embittered as they get older. Of course they generally act it out when they are younger. But blacks and hispanics can be every bit as angry as whites- white males don't have a monopoly on anger, although they make a safe target for people who want to generalize because its ok to bash whites.

Thanks. It was just disheartening. It always is when I realize that someone talking to me with intent when they have a core of disgust for who I really am. You have to wonder why they're there. And the signs were there in dropped phrases and references. I should have bailed rather than trying to friendly with someone. An amusing note to me was that what set him off and caused the veil to drop was when I looked about the bar and mused aloud, wondering where "my yuppie boy" was. He thought I meant him and was all upset. I think it might have been the yuppie part. I didn't think refering to some as a young, urban professional was an insult. And after hearing about his multi-millionaire dad that knows blah and blah, and his daughter who's about to sing at Carnigie Hall.. I'm confused that he would take it as one. Ah, well. I can see why you have avoided dating. Do you always have to listen to that stuff?
