Here's what's behind white guilt

Universities and colleges have long been indoctrinating that whiteness is an evil that must be shamed into the corner and apologized for. At first a subtle approach was used to propagate this message. In that way this radical concept was able to fly under the radar of the general public and thereby invoke little resistance. But as time went on, its promoters in the seats of higher learning became bolder and bolder. What was once implied or presented only in between the lines was made explicit. Before you knew it, "White is Evil" was formalized into a doctrine of politically correct belief that was not to be questioned on campus.

Following the lead of the universities, many corporations and government agencies fell in line. They started putting their employees through training programs to insure that even the most unrepentant of whites learned of their 1) privilege and 2) culpability in the sins of Western Civilization. This brainwashing has now even seeped down to the lowest levels of the K-12 public school system.

Many people now feel ashamed of being Caucasian and go through life carrying the burden of white guilt on their shoulders. The late Susan Sontag claimed the white race is "the cancer of human history." That's an insane thought, but though their positions in the universities and media, leftists have been propagating this very idea. Unfortunately, it has take root with far too many. This is especially true of the young who have been subjected to more intense brainwashing than older generations. But self-hatred goes against human nature, so why are many susceptible to believing such a counter-intuitive idea? It's because of two other human traits.

There is also “Successful Black Guilt”. Oprah is the epitomé of it.

Anyone who has guilt for being white should self terminate because you’re a useless member of society.

I haven't met anyone like that.

Speak for themselves. I feel no guilt over something I had no control over.

When blacks stop trying to bleach their skins, marry white people and trying to force the myth of white guilt on the population then I’ll believe they don’t wish they were white.

I think the universities are correct. Because whites really are responsible for all the misery in history. Genghis Khan himself told me that.

If “White is Evil”, then whoever said, “Judge a man by the co tent for f his character, not the color of his skin,” was wrong or lying, no?

Neither have I.... and no individual which has an issue with the color of their skin is going to sell me that black contrived myth.

Blacks will never accept the color of their skin, otherwise they wouldn’t be trying to bleach it, intermarry with whites, and force acceptance of what they themselves don’t accept.

Heck in Africa, India and other third world countries their highest sales volume in cosmetics is skin bleachner.

That judge sounds like he might be able to use a remedial course in English composition. Or turn off the spelchek.

As to my white guilt, libertarians don’t do group guilt, the individual is guilty of what the individual has done, period, and not for Simon Legree’s various mis-steps in 1835.

Maybe it’s time for a national day of “we’ve had enough with the white guilt” and my suggestion would be November 2nd.

White guilt is what whites are supposed to feel

But we should be talking about all the WHITE SHAMING being heaped upon whites

Just like the term fat shaming started we should be complaining about all the shaming racists subject us to

Chairman Mao, Pol Pot and all the WW II Japanese war criminals would agree with Genghis.

people that feel bad because they are white are idiots.
I’m white and freckle-y and damn happy to be so. So’s my husband and daughters.
I’m sure someone, somewhere thinks I should have a couple of mixed race kids/grands to even the score.

The real secret is that many who are not white hate their skin color and have obvious mental problems. Conversely,so many white are ashamed of being white and are just as mentally ill. I just laugh at it all.

Or maybe deep down they really are racist, but just don’t want to admit it.
