Trailer: MTV’s Illegal Immigrant-Directed ‘White People’ Shames White Privilege
Breitbart ^ | 07/09/15 | Kipp Jones

A trailer for MTV’s latest documentary debuted this week, and like a great deal of the network’s previous programming, White People and its illegal immigrant director seem ready to bring the drama.

Following shows like Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and 16 and Pregnant, the network’s latest dive into the exploration of cultural issues asks a group of white millennials to explain their “whiteness,” and includes tearful discussions of white privilege and the role it plays in their lives.

Pulitzer Prize-winning filmmaker and immigration activist Jose Antonio Vargas, who is in the country illegally, directed White People, and traveled all over the United States to interact with his five young subjects, according to MTV.

In the clip below, the youngsters’ attitudes on race vary between not wanting to “offend” others and feeling uncomfortable or defensive about their heritage.

“How might your life be different if you weren’t white?” Vargas asks the group in the clip. “When you say white, what does that mean to you?”

One girl’s white guilt seems to come out, when she responds, “We’ve never had to internalize what white people have done in America, but here, you can’t escape that.”

Another girl in the clip, apparently wrought with shame, simply says, “You kind of get this feeling that things belong to you.”

White People is scheduled to premiere July 22 on MTV.

Dumbassess. It sounds like a show about a bunch of spoiled, self-loathing brats.
Where are their parents?

This is disgusting. It is also a true act of war or failing that terrorism.

A foreign invader literally broadcasting subversive propaganda among our nation’s populace using our nations infrastructure and corporations.

Charges should be brought up against MTV and this director found and deported.

They didn’t ask me. I refuse to accept any guilt for my whiteness. I have nothing to apologize for. Vargas can kiss my Polish culo.

We are becoming obsessed with race. It wasn’t this bad when Dubya was President.

Why hasn’t this racist illegal alien director not been deported? Why do illegals not have to obey our laws, but White people are expected to obey the crack pot laws passed 5-4 by the SCOTUS? Some “privilege.”

Where is my white privilege? All I’ve ever gotten for being white are other races whinging at me.

Our cable system dropped MTV and hasn’t looked back. MTV is yesterday’s channel trying to be relevant, but it is only being racist and just plain gross.http://deadline.com/2015/02/suddenlink-drop-viacom-programming-1201380351/

They’re never going to make the mistake of asking people like us, people who have no white guilt and aren’t ashamed of our white “privilege” (privileges” like losing jobs to less qualified merely for being white, or white male, the privilege of paying taxes so others can breed large litters for whom our children can pay, etc). They’ll never ask us, the normal white people, because they know they’ll get blasted with the truth backed by “hate facts”.

I breathlessly await the documentary “Black People”, that shows how the overwhelming majority of the problems suffered by black people are self inflicted.

I’m surprised to say I agree with William Shetterley, an atheist and communist.
Too many middle class and upper class whites and minorities are on a guilt trip for their wealth, and think that thought checking others on various matters makes things better.
And they’re mistaking classism for racism.
There’s a strong correlation between poverty and race because 3/4 of blacks are illegitimate, versus 1/4 of whites, though the much higher rates of gang participation, drug use, mental illness, homelessness, suicide, etc are equally bad if you grow up without married parents. The difference is that is almost ALL blacks and a minority of whites.

And as Shetterley says, calling arguments you disagree with racist/sexist/homophobic enables the bullies to continue thought checking others, while doing NOTHING to actually help the poor or address actual racism and sexism as it exists.

The 93% of blacks killed by other blacks evidently don’t matter, only the small number killed by whites.

I’ve had enough of the racism—from THEM.

ENOUGH!

I am not apologizing for jack to any special groups for any flipping thing.

I don’t look for trouble but I won’t run from it if it comes to me.

They can go to hell!

This dumbass Vargas needs to get over his skin color and stop using it as a weapon. The boy acts like he’s retarded.
