Melissa’s Reviews > Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America > Status Update

I find this astounding and still think most people don’t know - The gi bill was legislation designed to benefit only white men.

History is very kind to the memory of mediocre white men.

Sometimes it may seem like justice is disadvantaging you when the privileges you’ve routinely enjoyed are threatened.

….tale of the battle for the West. White men battling other white men for land that wasn’t theirs, leaving nothing but destruction in their wake.

When I talk about mediocrity, I’m not talking about something bland and harmless. I’m talking about a cultural complacency with systems that are horrifically oppressive.
