Caucasians are getting it done!

Oh, yeah they are, and we at the White Men's Speakers Bureau are thrilled to report that mouthy majority males are having another great year for us.

The boys are out there, speaking their minds and putting the world on notice that a white man gets to say whatever comes into his head, because, well, why not?

We spin the planet, we light the sun. Might as well yammer on about it.

1. Most of the speakers at the Portland Summit were white men. Should we ...

... discount that event because of that fact?

Bob Koehler, Thom Hartmann, Paul Lehto, Clint Curtis, Bob Fitrakis, Cliff Arnebeck, Lowell Finley, RH Phillips, Bernie Windham, John Gideon, Warren Stewart, Rush Holt, Kip Humphrey, John Bonifaz, David Cobb, Bernie Ellis and Brad Friedman are all white men. So fucking what? (If you don't know who these folks are, you haven't been paying attention.)

Bashing white men is the most useless and pointless exercise we can be engaged in right now. Why perpetuate this petty distraction? What, pray tell, is the point?
