A former Kansas City medical pro offers a low-key look at the high cost of culture war politics.
More to the point, and possibly impacting both sides of the aisle engaged in partisan slap-fighting . . . The author argues a basic truism: Hateration never helps people and is mostly a self-destructive behavior.
However, to be fair, some folks live for the often invigorating discourse that divisive political issues bring to the forefront.
Either way, the author should be familiar to our best and brightest readers who remember the guy as a member of a prominent local family who launched the only real challenge that Congressman Cleaver has ever endured . . .
As a physician and psychiatrist reared in Kansas City, Jonathan Metzl has science and Heartland street cred on his side; as a public health instructor at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, his clinical approach doesn’t overshadow his skill as a wordsmith. As a result, “Dying of Whiteness” is a weighty but smooth read, devoid of polemics or jargon.
An important review . . .
Defending their race has hurt some white voters, doctor writes
Thesis . . .
Conservative whites who hate taxes, gun control and government programs such as the Affordable Care Act are guzzling an elixir that Republicans say will Make America Great Again. But instead of restoring a mostly white (and largely imaginary) era free of rap music and Spanglish, Metzl writes, the toxic brew is shaving years from those voters’ lives, damaging their health in measurable ways.
You decide . . .
Maybe this is why Presidents always look so awful after their term is complete?
ReplyDeleteonly agree with one sentence here, some people get off on so-called "hatred" I notice that that CNN talk show hosts are much better looking and seem healthier than those on Fox.
DeleteYep it's true. Listen to the majority of the comments on here. All angry, hateful, venomous rhetoric spewed by old folks who have one foot in the grave. The good news is that all of that hate is killing them quicker. Keep raging geezers!
ReplyDelete^^^ Doubtful, they live for it. whereas you are always in danger from dropping the soap and your horrible, horrible lifestyle choices. Wear a rubber dude, for god sakes!
Delete@8:42 You're hysterical! You mean like the hate that was portrayed at UMKC against conservatives?
ReplyDeleteBTW A lot of the "news anchors" on FOX are liberals and CNN has tanked in it's ratings.
Talk show hosts? You're Funny!
Book-selling bullshit. Any word about the health effects of the two year tantrum of constant hate directed at Trump? Or the mental stress of trying to make absurd woke ideology fit into the real world?
ReplyDeleteSorry doc, your medical concern is just more leftie horseshit. ;)
^^and yet it's not. Weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet you so need a new troll catchphrase. SO weird. :)
DeleteWhat a dumb thesis that's a strawman argument. Hating makes the world worse for everyone and then he goes and does it. What a fucking joke
ReplyDeleteIts okay to be white. Rap music is a cultural syphilis, if whites had any authority in their lands you wouldnt hear spanish.
ReplyDeleteIts likely true, have you seen the Conservatives?? My God these are some of the ugliest people you have ever seen! Hate ages you!
ReplyDeleteEverything we see from Hollywood is mean, selfish and nasty.
ReplyDeleteEverything we see on the news media is about how mean, selfish and nasty the other guys are.
Everything we see about race is mean, selfish and nasty.
Everything we see about Christianity is mean, selfish and nasty.
Everything we see is a lie.
It's what happens when people turn away from God and Christianity. Christianity preaches love for your fellow man.
There are powerful, dark, forces at work. They only want to destroy the USA through lies, revisionist history and propaganda.
American has always been a good and fair minded country... and that makes evil men crazy. There are many evil men in positions of power in the USA.
Isaiah 5:20
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,
who put darkness for light and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
May God save the United States of America
^^^^ That's nice but not everybody's cup of tea. Please keep your religion in your pants where it belongs.
ReplyDeleteAs for hate and health. Look at how toxic American politics has become and then look at the lowered health of Americans in general and compared to other industrialized nations. The doctor is right on the money with his assessment.
"It's what happens when people turn away from God and Christianity. Christianity preaches love for your fellow man."
ReplyDeleteUnless, of course your fellow man is black, gay, or liberal, in which case he should be promptly stoned to death.
Dying of Wokeness is what's really going on, as the progressivism wrecks the Democratic party. Today Kamala Harris, who admits sucking off Willie Brown to help her career, and Bernie are both out saying the Boston Bomber should be able to vote from jail.
ReplyDeleteTrump in a landslide, really by default.
"the author should be familiar for our best and brightest readers who remember the guy as a member of a prominent local family who launched the only real challenge that Congressman Cleaver has ever endured" . . .
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the heads-up, but I recognized the last name as soon as I read it.
Jamie Metzl was a carpet-bagging, Team Clinton, Liberal Jew who almost passed himself off as a US Congressman from KCMO (reminds me of the political tactics of JPander). I think that was the same year that Carwash resorted to financial bank fraud to squeak out a victory in the race.
After orbiting around the Clinton cesspool for a bit, and doing some corporate news commentary, Metzl landed at the Asia Society. He now calls himself a "futurist" (like DPander calls herself a entrepreneurial author).
Liberal Jews working to enslave humanity and enrich themselves at the expense of society.
Got a book to sell cause you don't do anything well.
ReplyDeleteAmerican History is a scathing indictment of the white race, & the emptiness of their religion.
ReplyDeleteI asked a white southerner once, "What do you people think about when you read Exodus?"
Then recently, I learned that there was something called the "Slave Bible".
Exodus had been redacted from the Bible given to slaves.
Old white people are so ugly. Ewww...
ReplyDeleteOnly thing wrong with our country is Democrats and losers like Socialist Nazi Byron.
ReplyDeleteTrump: I didn’t collude
Dems: Wait for Mueller
Mueller: Trump didn’t collude
Dems: Wait for full report
Full Report: Trump didn’t collude
Dems: Impeach Trump
At this point 2020 is a guaranteed victory and landslide for Trump all brought to you by America’s Democratic Party.
I suport LGBTQ
Liberty
Guns
Bible
Trump
BBQ
I don’t have one ounce of white guilt, never have, never will....... just shut up already bLIEron, everybody here knows you are the most hateful worthless lying leech of taxpayer money there has ever been and yet you feel compelled to trash these same people paying for everything you have, the only reason why your still alive is all the freebies we give you, you’re a damn disgusting piece of crap that’s what you are.
ReplyDeleteMad Maxine Waters is the iconic face of pure UGLINESS. Pencil neck Adamn Shitts not far behind.
ReplyDelete10:21 nice one!
ReplyDeleteOld people are so gross!
ReplyDeleteRacial resentment? The liberal boogie-man - all of the old white conservative males living their lives to persecute and subjugate anyone from a different race/religion/ethnicity.
ReplyDeleteThe reality - people in the heartland living their lives as compassionate caring people who accept people from all creeds and colors. Their support of Trumps immigration policy is the most compassionate position you could take - end the torturous trail that immigrants are incentivized to travel by liberals who don't care about a sub-class in our country that are forced to live in the shadows so the liberals can have cheap food, cheap labor, cheap domestic help, etc. etc. and at the same time say "I'm not a racist - see - I hired a Mexican to mow my yard for $10"
Get real....
If I knew where Byron Funkhouser lived I could get a large network news crew to do a story on him. In fact I have shared with them about him and there is some interest no doubt to do the story. But it isn't in the way that Byron would like to see. No it will show the hatred that has manifested in a person who has won in screwing over the government while claiming disabilities that don't add up. But instead of keeping a low profile Byron keeps on rolling in striking out at those who make it possible for him to cheat the government. How he did nothing with his life while slandering his brother who was elected as a Mayor in a top 50 city of America.
ReplyDeleteSo come on Byron where do you live so we can see the real story come out here and not the story you keep changing to suit your needs.
More bullshit guilt trips designed to shame whites into submission.
ReplyDeleteNo traction, no truth, no objective reality = Trump in 2020
Read the TRUTH from Chuck.
@9:28,
ReplyDeleteWoe unto them that are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight.
Isaiah 5:21
9:39: The is your cleaning service. Your white robe and pointy hat are ready for pick up.
ReplyDeleteAnother Jew writes another book about the bad, bad White People. Every Anti-White narrative in this country is a Jewish construct. Same shit different day.
ReplyDeleteNo shit, and they are always quick to say they are not white when it comes time to blame whitey.
Delete11:38: Your robe and formfitting hood are also ready for pick up.
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks. Billy got his special delivery by some little tart intern in a blue dress. The text I just got said go to Bosnia and dodge sniper fire to do my own pick-up. Damn, that ass of his is always getting kissed!
DeleteSure, whites sit idly by watching the genocide of your race and culture by violent low IQ invaders so you, yourself, can live a couple more years as an old man...just go quietly into the night. Great advice!
ReplyDelete11:28 and 11:47 Thanks! I’ve been wondering how long it was gonna take them, I’ve got plenty of republican events to go cause problems at, you know us democrats like to beat the crap out of those damn republicans!
ReplyDeleteamazon.com should pay taxes and cover the ACA.
ReplyDeleteif not all reatailor should have prices lower on their website than on amazon, then amazon can just be a glorified yellow pages.
ReplyDeleteTypical lefty Jew jabber. I’d feel more well-read by picking up the latest copy of the Enquirer.
ReplyDeleteWithout patient liberal whites only whites would be able to read.
ReplyDeletemorons theyre saying yall hate so much yer constantly shooting yourselfs in the foot
