The history of the USA is littered with victims; people who have been victimized for one reason or another, from some time period to another. Amongst these groups you could find Native Indians; indentured servants, negroes and other slaves; some ethnic minorities; African Americans in the post-civil war era (especially males); members of a few nationalistic groups - which in the short term suffered discrimination, scorn and the like; and American women in general-women of all races, ethnicities, nationalities and religions.

The one group that will find it difficult to make a comprehensive case for victimization here, is Caucasian males; and despite there being a few individuals from this group, who may be successful in making such a case; for the most part: white males have overwhelmingly run the show since the pilgrims first landed at Plymouth Rock. They have always held power in their hands; power that dominated the social, economic, political, religious, military and other institutions of the country; power that has dominated the every fabric of what is called: “Americana”.

This is the objective reality that many white males love to try to deny. They shouldn’t; since most of the demands coming from alternate quarters have been for power-sharing, not for obliteration; there is a difference. They are somewhat lucky in this regard; given some of the shit they have done to others: non-white male. I don’t hear any opposing group in the USA, looking for revenge- in this world where grievances could last for a millennium or beyond. That is fascinating folks; truly.

The problem with male white-power in US society has been the painful reality left for others: that this power has been abused at times; and in so doing been abusive to many. Even white women have felt the abuse. So it was not surprising to many a student of history, that in 1966, the National Organization for Women (NOW) was formed. Its main mission was to advocate for equality. That was a good day for women all over the world- given America’s universal influence on most things.
