“a national divorce.”
Divorce?
Oh yes, we’ll be paying the usual ‘alimony’ and ‘child support’ just as we do now supporting their sorry carcasses as we are ‘married’ to them right now. Like a working husband supporting the free-spending wife, we are essentially stuck with it while putting up with their whining and temper tantrums and constant demands, moaning about not being around the kids enough and keeping up with the Joneses. As if we aren’t toiling our guts out for them already, which should be enough.
Problem is, if we try to divorce them and make them stand on their own two feet, the high maintenance twits will fight tooth and nail, thinking that we ‘owe’ them to put up with them because of ‘all they did’ (two hundred years ago as usual) and then they’ll undermine our attempts to move on and lead a life that might actually make us happy and fulfilled. So frankly, it’s a bit of am mess. Plus they’ll want housing (40 acres and a mule) and make us pay for the maintenance.
It’ll be endless and frankly, they will keep wanting more and more and more to maintain the lavish lifestyle they feel entitled to.
“That’s self-absorbed papist nonsense.”
No.
“I’m a Protestant... I love the writings of Paul and I have no problem with any of them.”
I didn’t say ALL Protestants.
Dumb-butt needs to walk through the nearest ghetto with an “Impeach Obama” sign - see how far his “white privilege” will carry him.
He’s probably from a radical irish background, similar DNA to the poor poor Palestinians. What he needs is two years in Islamic captivity, that will teach him equality. He’s got an awfully big mouth for a film critic.
If these people really feel so bad, I will gladly supply the ammo so they can off themselves.
Why do I think I wouldn’t get any takers?
Mr O’hahir can start by resigning in favor of a Person Of Color.
Then every guilty white liberal can follow suit.
Problem solved.
This country is headed for a social meltdown of historic proportions.
There are more privileges than “white” privilege ... we are biased towards youth and beauty; athletic ability; wealth; and those aren’t black or white issues.
That’s just how life is. Not fair. So to the Salon author I would say “Suck it up, buttercup.”
That said ... I have a boots-on-the-ground existence working in a factory alongside a lot of urban types, and, no, life is not always fair to them.
One of my co-workers lost her nephew in a drive-by shooting. Did you hear about him? Of course not. He was a black guy shot by another black guy after a fight over a girl.
It was heartbreak to his family, but, worth only about 10 lines in the newspaper.
Another friend’s granddaughter went missing after school. No one but the family got upset because, after all, she was just another little Hispanic kid, who cares. Teacher put the 5-year-old on the wrong bus. Was it on the local news? Nahh .... those kids all look alike, who would not get them mixed up? (sarcasm ...)
Bottom line is, life is not fair for anybody no matter what color they are.
White privilege is being able to find your name on a keychain in the store.
That's brilliant.
White privelege my ass!
Dear dark people. I’m sorry I was born superior to you.../s
Yeah I wish they’d cut the crap. I said the above to make a point. It’s not how I really feel.
Many black people escape the cycle of poverty and quietly assimilate into normal society. The ones we hear trumped up in the news are the proverbial squeaky wheels and their race-bating handlers.

That comment was only aimed at the Al Sharpton type race-baiters and liberal white guilters. I know many successful black businessmen and pastors who made something of themselves and don’t fall into that category and I respect them.
At the very least, it is a disorder. Something about a person's makeup predisposes them to all the ill effects of liberalism. The question is, can it be cured?
"Check your premises"
“That’s brilliant.”
Yea, I wish I could claim it.
This Irishman is a genuine wingnut, selling white guilt instead of supporting due process as a constitutional right.
He has obviously had an epiphany, saw to many leftiost films that redefine history. or likely a pay check from the Obama campaign or some such.
He should stick to reviewing cartoons.
My gaydar is off the scale.
