If Obama gets a pass on his Bill Ayers association because ‘he was only 8 years old’, why shouldn’t I get a pass for slavery because my *parents* weren’t even born yet...
White guilt isn’t dead.
It’s just beginning.
It does give an opportunity for snappy comebacks.
"I just a White man in a Black man's world."
"I don't have the complexion to make the connection."
"I am tired of being hassled by the man."
"He was dead when I got there."........
But first, reparations. Can’t retire guilt without the real payoff.
“The Era of White Guilt is over.”
Well darn, I must have missed it. Will it be out on DVD rentals soon?
Does anyone truely believe the race hustlers & poverty pimps are going to change their schtick?
That white guilt ridden liberals are going to stop being guilt ridden now?
Please......its only going to morph into something else. My bet is financial reperations for decendants of slaves and massive expansion of tribal status for every 3rd world immigrant groups and indigious groups. I bet the hawaiians grifter groups will demand sovereign status meaning all kinds of new handouts and landgrabs and Obama will push for it.
The politically-correct, racist BLACKmail is over.
When I went to college in France, I would get all this "How badly you Americans treat the Indians, the blacks!" And I would respond thoughtfully with humility and admit America has had failings along the way, and I'd point out how the French treat the Arabs (at the time there was little terrorism and any Frenchman who had even been BORN in North Africa was pejoratively called a "Pieds Noir").
The French student would invariably wrinkle his or her nose and say "But that is different! They are ARABS." (Rest my case.)
Bump
Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America's flirtation with neo-socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barack Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America: The Era of White Guilt is over...
Wow...for no small reason are we called the Stupid Party.
Nothing is going to cater to you "meritorcrats", and the amount of subsuidies your kids will pay will be staggering
Problem is, you opened the door and now they are going to ram "privelige" down your throat until you choke.
When someone drops the Race Card just put up your hand, palm out, and say “Talk to the hand. Racism is over!”
It's a nice dream.
I agree with you. I have to add tho..as far as telling people to pull up their pants because they look stupid..
Cut your hair...you look stupid!
Come on, thats funny!
Thanks for an truly perceptive and DEAD-ON article.....I am DROPPING any white guilt I may have harbored and strapping um on-so to speak! XXX and OOO! -Lynn aka Republic
