you know when you blame white males for the opression of women gays blacks ect your saying this is a sin that only the whit man can attone for. and when people say that obama inherited a mess from bush they are saying that he needs the assistance of white people to govern properly
I don't blame white men in general for any of that. However, in Western culture it WAS men who prevented women getting the vote for ages. The first country to give women the vote was actually NZ in the late 1800s. That's not all that long ago.
And it was white men, the leaders of European society - not all - who led and perpertuated and profited from the slave trade (while many African tribes also helped out, definitely).
ANd, when you look at the Conservative movement, particularly in the US, it is generally white men who oppose womens' reproductive rights, marriage equality, and immigration.
We had that in Australia for decades - a law whereby only white could immigrate to Aus.
As for, "when people say that obama inherited a mess from bush they are saying that he needs the assistance of white people to govern properly"
Seriously, where the fuck did you get this bullshit from? Obama inherited a frigging mess from Bush and the Repubs have been stonewalling him at every turn, making his job a lot harder and preventing the economy from recovering as quickly as it could have. Certainly, Obama isn't the best president, but the last assertion you make is complete bullshit.
