Government Wants Volunteers to Wear White Guilt Bracelets

Government makes it sound like Obama and mandatory .
But really it's the state of Wisconsin under the Republican leadership
of Scott Walker that has ok'd this.

Plus I don't trust anything like this.
Just like Fast and Furious where no one remembers the fact that
it all happened in good ol Joe Arpaio's backyard. With his ATF buddies.
Something fishy is going on.

It's always Colorado Arizona Wisconsin or Florida.
The shenanigan states.

#1 We are not sheets of paper, we are not WHITE, it is insulting; my daughters endured taunts of "ghost" in their schools (I am NOT joking or being sarcastic!!!)

#2 We are peach/ we are pink/ we are beige/ we are light brown/ we are latte/ but only albinos are truly white and they come in every race

#3 If any of a persons past relatives committed any sort of crime against a person of another "race" then they need to wear guilt inducing bracelets for the crimes of their fathers. How about the africans who sold and are still selling slaves? How about Japanese whose ancestors attacked pearl harbor. How about latino and black gang members relatives who shoot and kill? How about the Chinese who occupied Korea and subjugated them?

#4 RACE IS PURELY A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT, IT HAS NO BASIS IN REALITY. We are all descended from the same people way way back in time, and if you are agnostic that is still true, science has proved it. Humans spread out throughout the world and became isolated social groups who interbread and became specific breeds of humans through hundreds+ years of interbreeding. We are all humans, like dogs are dogs, we can breed with any other human, if race were real then we could not interbreed. We are great danes, we are chihuahua's, we are white maltese, we are black labs, we are humans like dogs are dogs, we have different breeds, but we are still humans.

#5 THIS IS PERPETUATING THE MYTH OF DIFFERENCE, THIS IS DIVISIVE, THIS IS RACISM IN ITS PURIST FORM.

LOL this is funny. Should I wear one to feel guilty about years sleeping on a blanket on the floor in my apartment while working 70 hours a week and living off of pasta, rice, and whatever wild fruits and veggies I could pick and fish I could catch while I paid my way through college? I mean, i'm assuming it was my white privelige that got me my $2.55/hour to wait tables in AZ in the late 90's where I did my best to milk tips out of the cheap arses living in the desert. No, this idea is extremely stupid. Plus, it will become a racist, supremacist symbol instantly.

As another poster said, maybe gold bracelets for the extremely wealthy who unfairly manipulate our economy and actively work to harm our nations for their profit. I don't mean the millionaires, i'm talking about the billionaires.

Let's hear a rousing round of applause for all the white people on welfare.......

Now, if white people on welfare had the ability to make others feel as guilty as people of color on welfare have of making others feel guilty, then white people on welfare would progress their agenda considerably.

Creating guilt is an art form. It's not for amateurs. I feel guilty for white people who lack the guilt creating artistic merits that seem to come more natural to people of color's ability to mass produce guilt.

But, hey.....the Vatican had a chance to elect a Pope of Color this time around. The Vatican stuck to a basically white dude Pope again. You know, that 'White Hispanic' title that Trayvon Martin's people have made so popular?

And the 'Pope Francis' name? Wow. That hardly sounds like a Pope sporting tattoos from the 'Hood.

White People.....or, at least those of you white people who need to delve into this guilt thing....you need to wear a bracelet that says, "Feel more guilty for me!" White people, you are getting behind in sports. Particularly basketball. You can't seem to find the White House with both hands anymore. You white people who need guilt need more guilt. FOR YOURSELVES. Quit giving guilt away gratuitously. Claim your right to entitlement a bit more vociferously. Get in there on the rainbow gravy train to learn how to beat the 'guilt' drum for yourselves. Yes, you can learn to be a better running back by watching your running back of color at work. You can also learn to consume guilt for personal gain by watching your politicos of color.

I call this thread out as deliberately racist, and I encourage everyone to refrain from feeding the shills. I do not trust our most government related entities, HOWEVER, when using common sense to look at these suggestions for white people, I couldn't agree more with what they are suggesting. Strange that our government is showing this amount of respect towards the people it has enslaved and tried to kill off for years. I think it's just an idea that that made it through the cracks in this extremely racially prejudice society.

The little commies don't give up do they? Sorry Charlie...no guilt here.
Move along, nothing to see.

(sigh)

First off, it's not "The Government." Second, the source is a blog and not a news report. In fact, it's a blog that doesn't want "liberal" news reporting contaminating it.

Third, it's a suggestion of activities for training programs so that volunteers develop a little empathy for people who are not like them -- people they'll be working with.

Fourth, these diversity programs are not unusual in American agencies where the majority of workers are White but they are working with people who may be Asian, Hispanic, Black, or Native American. I've encountered them before and they're not what that blog is reporting.
The blog, in the interests of getting attention, is creating a "moral panic" about something the writer understands poorly.

* the government is not making white people wear white bracelets.
* Americorps is not making white people wear white bracelets.
* a little understanding of how others grew up and why they think and feel as they do never hurt anyone (this, last statement, however, is my own personal liberal, hippie, feminist, anthropologist viewpoint. Your mileage may vary.)

This is ridiculous.

Have I ever owned a slave who was of color? No.

Have I ever gone out and beat someone, or muder them because of their color? No.

Have I ever thought I was superior to other race? No.


Guilt: The fact of having committed a specified or implied offense or crime


Then why the hell am I supposed to feel guilty? You can only feeling guilty of something if you've actually done something wong. Being guilty of something automatically becase of your skin color is insane.

Sure people in the past did some terrible things, doesn't mean I will too.

That's like me having to wear a wrist band showing my guilt about a murder my cousin commit. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Simple text book divide and conquer. White people are becoming the minority now, and the tables seem to be turning. When will all of this racial tension garbage go away? Can't we just live in harmony already? Please?

Way too late it seems.
This thread has devolved into a liberal hating, 'we're so prosecuted', mutual mast ..er... back patting, fest. Well, maybe not devolved so much as working as intended.

This is one of those moments when the stupid actually burns.

I will never be convinced to feel "white guilt." The entire concept of demonizing an entire race because of the actions of a few reminds me of Christian logic. All of humanity is doomed because two people decided to disobey God.

This is nothing short of group-think in action. If my Father murdered someone, I as an individual, would not be held accountable for his actions. The entire concept is absurd.

If everything is private, or almost private, why not to work for wages, instead of volunteerism? Dayly wages? Hourly?

Hooza! Republicans are finally coming around to realizing that in politics, without applying the guilt trip, the GOP is continually in second place.

Which isn't a good sign in a two party system.

A Republican has come out in favor of gay marriage. Or same sex marriage. Whichever is more politically correct.

Politics is a business. A business for shills, albeit. But it's a business in a heavy handed business world. The guilt trip is a major donation bundle maker. Hey you heterosexuals! Get off your high horses. Give the same sex couples their due!

So, okay. Rob Portman is going the RINO route. I'm sure he will get John McCain to jump on this bandwagon.

The GOP has four years to hash out their changes. After all, almost as many people DIDN'T vote as did vote in the 2012 go around. That's a lot of votes to attract in 2016.

Or is it that 91 million Americans who didn't vote just don't care one way or the other who gets married where, or who gets divorced for whatever reason, and they stayed home to watch the ball game on election day?

This begs the question as to what percentage of Americans are actually driven by socialist guilt, compared to what percentage of Americans just don't give a flying guilt trip one way or the other? Cause so many just don't get involved.


Senator stuns with reversal on gay rights

Republican Rob Portman announces his support for same-sex marriage in a personal & revealing column, writing 'something happened' to change his view.

I'm saddened by the ease with which these "follow me" rallies begin. One hopes that common sense will prevail. However, the same people that start these senseless endevours prey on those of us unable to create rational thoughts. First the wrist band and next the chip inplant (for our own good). "Common Sense!" Duh! Whats that.

If a Messianic leader becomes so guilt ridden that he or she can no longer use guilt as a useful political tool, then the contract with Belial has gone null and void.

All white volunteers must openly recite the following before participating:

I'm white so I am already privileged, I have more opportunities in life.

I am white so anything I say here must be racially motivated.

I am white and if I criticize our president, I am a racist.

I am white so I am guilty.

Lol @ the thought that white people are the only race they can suggest this to and not be deemed racist.

I'm white, and I don't see the privilege. I have to pay three times my schools in state tuition because of a technicality, meanwhile ILLEGAL immigrants get the in state discount automatically. I know for a fact that there are hundreds more federal grants available for minorities than for the average white male like me.

This reverse racism thing is getting out of hand. I don't want to have any more privileges than other minorities, but I certainly don't want any less.

Obama received ten million LESS votes in 2012 than he did in 2008....that number is undoubtedly higher since so many socialists voted more than one.

But let's stick with the ten million less votes for the sake of simplicity. That basically means that ten million voters were not driven to the polls by the socialist guilt trip message as were motivated in 2008.

Where did those ten million voters go in 2012?

Did they realize getting sucker punched by the guilt trip in 2008? That to fool them once was someone else's fault. To fool them twice would be their own fault?

Guilt can be a tricky political tool. Thank goodness for the fallibility of the electronic voting machine to back up the plan.

The paper you came up with is 7 years old and it is stated as have been bogus propaganda when it appeared back then... Some people will buy into anything that reinforces they preconceived victimization by people that are in no position to be anything but the most victimized.... Yeah there are people of all colors that know how to work the system but you are the part of the system being worked on the most and don't have a clue who is pulling your strings.

We should all wear a "human" bracelet. Not sure what the color should be. It's there to remind us of how many animals we have killed, how many creatures we have made extinct, and our continual destruction of the natural environment. We have used our plusses to exploit the rest of life on earth. We have now reached a point where the future of earth's ecosystems is in dire straits. The oceans are acidifying and eating the shells of marine creatures. Corals are dying at unprecedented rates and without them many creatures will not have a food source. Co2 has reached a level not seen since 15 million years ago. It's forecasted to reach 800+ ppm by 2100. With warming temperatures, creatures will be forced to migrate faster than is practical for their survival. Desertification will also limit their options. Changing weather and ocean patterns will add further stressors to species survival. There're so many unpredictable circumstances that will occur that will cause species to become extinct.

Let me just put this out there.... We treat animals at least as bad as Nazi's treated Jews. Every single day in the US we kill 23+ million chickens. We pack them into cages so that they cannot even move. We throw male chicklets into poison/crushing dumpsters alive because they prefer hens. Then they smash them together in cages and ffeed them for some matter of months and slaughter them. (Seems all "justifiable" until you consider the damage eggs do to arteries via Atherosclerosis) We kill billions upon billions of animals on farms every year in the US alone. Millions of dogs and cats every year are killed in shelters because there's no way to house/feed them. There's no tally on how many animals have died indirectly due to traffic accidents or dislocation or abuse or hunting. Millions of creatures are used every year in horrific experiments that cripple and kill them for science.

Behind human civilization is a trail of killed and extinct creatures of all kinds. It's estimated that in the holocene epoch the extinction rate has increased several hundred fold due to humans.

It's no matter whether we as humans survive into the future because no amount of our continued success can erase the history of destruction and violence that follows us wherever we go. There's no reason to suspect this will ever end. Rather it'll be rewritten as to blame our ancestors and not ourselves. And thus the reason for the bracelet. To remind us of our true self. If we look into a mirror and do not see the puss filled blistered face of evil manifest then we have no shame.

We're forever the man with two faces. The beautiful one and the very ugly one. The difference between different people is how much they hide the ugly face that exposes the truth.

Ummm.......I think they're a tad late on the guilt tripping...

1. With the exception of the movie "Powder" I don't think I've ever seen a "white" person...

2. Lighter shade folk feel so guilty about the darker shade folk that they try to emulate them every sun-shiny day by slathering on the tanning lotion. This is so that the lighter shade folk can walk that extra shoe mile in full guilt mode and repent for the hate crimes of lighter shaded folk from preceding centuries...It's a common repentance ritual to overcome that guilt by skin tone...

Lordy knows that this generation of lighter shade folk should just prostrate themselves with a little self flagellation thrown into the mix for good measure...for the hate crime of being born lighter shaded that is...Right?

I'd wear one If I was stupid enough to vote for the Marxist vacation Muslim.
