I am "The Man": Musings of a White American Male (WAM!)
http://keithbecker.blogspot.com
My name is Keith Becker. I am a middle-class, twenty-something white American Christian male. I am one of the majority, one of the many who have so much going for them and yet do so little to change our world for the better. But I wish to be different. I reject my cultural heritage of tyrants and oppressors and work to change the very archetype, the very essence of what it means to be a WAM (see title). And as I do, I muse to you!
