These bracelets are obviously NOT about feeling guilty for being white. Just recognizing that being white has its advantages in America.
There's nothing sinister about it.
Not everything the government does is evil.
and if you think that you don't have an advantage being white in this country, you need to step into the real world.

I think that is a myth actually.
Being young and good looking and slim confers certain advantages - should people apologise for that.
Being rich confers advantage - should people apologise for wealth or comfort.
Being male arguable is advantageous etc etc
Americans are obsessed with race it is ridiculous - and the British have followed you guys in this and are just as bad if not worse these days.

I love your comments Ghost, they always make me laugh
As for the bracelets, it's just another way to create more racial division so we can argue about one more thing and take our focus off of the important issues.
Divide and conquer thats been the game of those in power for a long, long time.

I'm glad someone likes them
I agree with the overall thing you're saying. Divide and conquer is a strategy they are employing.
In this specific case, I''m fairly certain there was no ill will intended. A bunch of people on the internet twisted the story just to get mad. E.G. they aren't called "guilt bracelets." That word was added just to draw a reaction to an otherwise benign story. It's stuff like that that made me stop visiting Infowars.com.

I hope that the white bracelets have the word IDIOT clearly imprinted on them.
That will remind the whites of how the rest of the country views them.

What a stupid, divisive, inflamatory comment and a perfect example of liberal hypocrisy.
You liberal clowns preach tolerence and diversity but then you make comments like this?
