You're obviously an ''internet user and if your intellect is so superior, why in the hell are you in here with us intellectual peons? Some things need to be discussed, and simply not talking about something won't make it go away. And to the poater talking about guilt, no one asks white people to feel guilty about anything. Ask my wife, she's white.

Listen up kimish, my wife happens to be white and I love her with all my heart. My two daughters are half white and I love them with all my heart. For my wife and daughters I would forfeit my LIFE, so how the fv@k am I racist? Even if by some twisted chance that I didn't like non black people, that would be PREJUDICED, not racist. Racists believe their race is superior. How can the ancestors of slaves feel priveleged or superior? The short answer is THEY DON'T. And by the way,my great grandmother was half white and half Cherokee, so I must dislike her too, according to you, right?

Then maybe you can explain the OP? Having white privilege seminars and no one is asking whites to feel guilty? hmmm. Me thinks someone is a little delusional or narrow minded or racist. Which is it? It's definitely one of the three or even a combination.edit on 14-3-2013 by kimish because: (no reason given)

thread end!
Heck, i wonder how long you need to live in a country to be part of the country? lol
Yet a white guy from Europe that came here last year is more American then someone living in the country for 40 yrs lol. That sure is a privilege. 90% of the business owned by Caucasians is a privilege to another Caucasian person looking for a job (oh yeah don't worry about the token black assistant manager, he is just there to make the company look less racist).
I have seen it all! racism is alive and well but poor people will suffer no matter their colour, sucks if you are poor and minoirty.

Not just just the whole guilt thing, but the most obvious. Targetted. Whites are now a targetted group. Not just for guilt, but for wealth, reparations, crime, and abuse.
Whites will soon be the minority in the US. Will whites then become the entitlement group? Will there be special white college funds, goevernment programs, groups like the ACLU to defend primarily whites?
I can promise you, no. For progressives and extreme leftists, even white ones that consider themselves above the "white" class, whites are to be demonized end eventually wiped out. Don't you know? Whites are to blame for everything wrong in the world.
Many groups wish to see whites cease to any longer exist. This isn't new, and has been being pushed for a long time. Who has the lowest birth rate? Lowest abortion rate? Why has mixed race marriage been pushed when before it was considered a bad thing? No other race has been targetted to mix interracially the way whites have, by alleged "intellectuals", while other races are encouraged to remain "pure". Races that mix with whites are often outcast or excommunicated from their own.
There is a long history, and progressives are becoming so emboldened now as to be blatant and open with their intent, because quite frankly, no one is doing a damned thing to stop them. The longer they go unconfronted, the more the tide turns, the more people are on board.
The progressives are slowly taking over society.
Surely, you jest. Obama is a puppet, just like MOST presidents. Listen, I don't consider myself as a victim, because it was instilled in me by my dad to be self sufficient. Nevertheless, racism still exists. The same time that my two grandfathers wete in WW2 (and my dad's dad was earning his Purple Heart), they were lynching blacks back home in America like it was going out of style, men and women. Racism is a systematic thing and I fully understand that most white people are not racist, but there are people in powerful positions that think black people are inferior and that's a fact. It's funny how NO ONE will EVER tell Jewish people to shut up about the ''holocaust'', but at that same period in time blacks were being lynched. But hey, that's life huh?

I'm far from ignorant, my friend, but thanks all the same. Do you think Obama has any real power? He was selected because he can implement things that a white president couldn't because he's black and any opposition would be considered as racist. He's a puppet, and so is Holder. How can they exert racism? They can't and won't because someone behind the curtain is calling the shots and it ain't some black dude, genius. Your first line in your post describes your own post. What else do you have besides that sorry ass example?
Your far from ignorant, yet you go on to basically say that even though a black man has achieved the highest position of authority that someone else (white) put him there and he is just a black puppet? Oh does it ever end? Is there ever a situation where some white guy/s are not to blame? I would think not according to you. I bet you curse white people when you stub your toe, or spill your coffee too.
And as far as not being able to exert racism? What about the fact that it was stated Eric Holder would not prosecute any black on white crimes? Seems pretty racist to me....

Its funny how people are saying Obama is black. Eeven if he is black, does that mean there is no prejudice or racism?
"Hey we are not racist, see i have a black friend..um i mean president!"

it is only in modern times that irish americans have been treated as white. Sweet just in time to pay for englands mistakes, how nice of them.
I wader what it is like to come from a people that were privileged, I guess maybe the next round will be our turn, if there are any of us left in a few hundred years.
I'm all about anti-racism, and prejudice in general, from ANYBODY, black white or in between. I just can't fathom the fact that you don't understand that black people lack the power to exert racism. Some black people are prejudiced, but they lack the power to make things difficult for anyone not black. That's a fact. And you're actually saying because Jews were burned instead of being pulled from their home and strung up from a tree, while hundreds of onlookers cheered on, even kids, somehow, that's different, even though, people died unjustly in both of these examples. That's rich, champ. And things that happened 100 years ago are VERY relevant to today. Just ask the Native Americans.

Look, we are not talking about 100 years ago, or 60 years ago, we are talking about the here and now. If you stand against racism then you stand against all racism, not just racism that is against your race. Forcing white people to wear a bracelet to show their "white guilt" is racist no matter how you slice it. The people today have nothing to do with what happened in the past.
And as far as holocaust victims go, I'm pretty sure that no white people rounded up any black people and forced them into ovens to be burned. I am also pretty sure that no white people were looking to exterminate black people because they were an inferior race.

While I don't agree with the tactics being used in the OP I will say that all whites are still priviledged.
but they didn't want the migration up there so you see other laws passed to prevent their travel, massive discrimination and racism. These laws were changed of course but the racism didn't stop.
Even as late as the 1970's you had federally mandated programs such as "Redlining" that prevented housing loans to blacks outside of certain red lines that were drawn on some map somewhere.
Basically the white population gave rise to the black culture we see today in America. Since blacks had much poorer education and employment skills this reflected in what they taught their children. They couldn't teach their children the skills they needed in the home environment at the same level that whites could.
