Encyclopedia > Angry White Male

Angry White Male (sometimes abbreviated as AWM) is the designation of a voting bloc of white males in the United States, predominantly of working class or lower middle class status, who are angered by actual or perceived favoritism towards non-whites, women, gays, and other minorities in government, business, media, education, and other institutions, as well as by movements such as environmentalism which they deem as inimical to their economic interests and by what they regard as the cultural condescension of affluent "limousine liberals".

The term came into widespread media use during and after the midterm elections of 1994 in which White males supported Republican candidates by a 24 % margin (compared to a 6 % margin in 1986 and a 4 % margin in 1990).

What the conservative movement has succeeding in doing is to equate poor general resource economic conditions that the angry white male is suffering and attached it to liberal governmental programs aimed as assisting racial and ethnic minorities as the source of the problem; individual's who are normally considered lower on the hierarchical social ladder.
Male politicians are also able males in a different venue, but still aggressive in there alliances maneuvers; it matters not what the prize to capture may be, it is the behavior mechanism that obtains that goal that we much focus upon that is important.
The wide spread use and acceptance of the drug, including males in their twenties, (as evidenced by ads in youth oriented newspapers), makes one believe that the problem of erectile dysfunction is more wide spread than thought, which would add strength to the study concerning the 90% drop in sperm reduction.
The Camp of the Saints (678 words)
Contrary to its prior tiltings at the fulminations of white men, the White House now sees the results of the 1994 elections as attributable as much to "ambivalent women," who are to be courted by presidential rehearsals of abortion-related themes.
The new White House approach represents a highly imperfect understanding of the principles driving the 1994 elections: voters who depend on the functioning of markets and entrepreneurial competition-and not on government policies calculated to benefit special interests at the cost of reducing our overall wealth - are turning away from the Democrats' neo- Depression policies.
In short, the category of "angry white male" is determined much more by economic orientation than by emotional state, race or gender, and must necessarily include ever larger numbers of women of all races as they and their husbands compete on the basis of personal abilities.
