"White Guilt" and your opinions on it -

[RockVolnutt]

Pretty straight forward topic. What do you think of it? Is it helpful? Is it a problem? Is there a solution?

 

[Black Waltz]

It's fucking stupid. Why feel guilty over something you can't control?

I remember being a teenager and learning about how we as a country acquired Hawaii and I remember feeling kinda sad and guilty about it, seeing as how it was one of my favorite places in the world to go to as a child. Later on though I realized, it's not my fault. I had nothing to do with what happened and I couldn't control what other people who happen to be of my nationality did.

And that's basically how I view the whole white guilt thing. It's nice that you recognize what you are, what that means to you and other people, ect. But at the end of the day, you're still YOU. And you shouldn't have to feel guilty over something you had no part of. And if anyone tries to make you think any differently, they're the ones with the problem, not you.

All you can really do is learn from history and do your best not to repeat the mistakes people back then made.

I'm lazy and going to repost what I said in the Dobson thread a day ago.

I'm in the camp where I find regular bigots more respectable for their honesty and that straightforwardness is better for coming to an understanding compared to White Guilt's deep self-loathing that gets magnified outwards. Even as a minority I can't defuse that without getting labeled a House Nigger/Nazi (me passing doesn't help). They never understand the minorities supporting this behavior are profiteers and the more trashy members of those groups, not the diamonds in the rough they want to save.

Imagine a world where non-whites self-flagellated in servitude to Trailer Trash and Juggalos, that's the equivalent of White Guilt. It's a problem that needs to be solved to help race relations but unfortunately I don't know any solutions. Perhaps someone should make a Deep Thoughts thread as this is more of a serious topic than Dobson.

I legitimately believe it's something that needs to be addressed at some point and the belief does harm more than anything. It looks like a poor excuse to feel sorry about yourself and drag down others for not doing the same. I don't know where this ride will take us but I don't think I want to see it.

White guilt is just a way to shame a group of people for stuff that is beyond their control and stuff that is in the past. It is in the exact same vein a racist against black people would say that all black people are stupid because of average IQs in Africa going to ignore the environmental and political reasons for it.

Any person who says they feel guilt over something their ancestors did is a liar with an ulterior motivation.

 

[Aperrentis]

My biggest fear nigh the ultimate question of life after death is developing white guilt on top of paranoia.

 

[D. Sweatshirt]

No sense in feeling guilty for something you weren't even alive to be involved in.

Everyone kills everyone who gives a fuck what color they is

On one hand, white people did some fucked up shit. One the other hand, being a shithead isn't a white people only thing and it's not like anyone with white guilt actually was around during slavery times and shit.

 

[ICametoLurk]

The only thing the White race should be guilty of is not wiping all other races when they had a chance.

You can't be called a racist if your race is the only one standing.

White guilt is the "original sin" of the secular age. Don't let the papist revisionist crowd keep you down!

 

[Doc Cassidy]

Tbh I think it's awesome that we cucked all the Indians and stole their land and made Africa our bitch. I wish we still did cool things like that.

Why anyone would feel guilty for kicking everyone's ass makes no sense. If other races weren't such pussies maybe it wouldn't have happened. It's not my fault Indians and niggers were too stupid to invent guns.

 

[King_Scrotus]

It's the new original sin. Repent for your skin color, for by the virtue of your birth you came with white skin, and your white skin has offended us. Prostrate yourself before these other white people who understand the true way of things, so that while you cannot be forgiven for your sin, you may become an ally, and in some small way repent for your genetic evil.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

As a mixed race person: STOP FEELING GUILTY YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

Skin color neither a choice (not counting Michael Jackson or Martina Big) nor a personality trait.

I don't think white guilt will go away even if whites become a minority in every country in the world.

White guilt doesn't do shit for anyone.

It's like if you owe someone $100 and you don't have $100, are you going to hang out with them without guilt and be friends with them? Nope. You're going to duck out of the room and pretend you didn't see them. So yeah, if you want whitey guilty enough he avoids you entirely, go do that.

That's not true. If it emerged that your father or grandfather was a serial rapist or murderer that would fuck you up for short period, it would you make you question if that type of fucked up behaviour could be passed to you. But I think eventually it would just diminish to almost nothing. But I do think there are some people, a large minority of KF cows for example, who on hearing about awful past crimes of a close ancestor, mix that knowledge in with the rest of their mental illnesses and end up with something pretty bad.

As to white guilt in general, it's a Lucas Werner level theory that some other motherfuckers latched on to and spread for academic or political gain. It's like Martin Skhreli read the Wern thread and figured he could make $250m from that bullshit.

I'm likely actually to have known and been affected by my close ancestor.

I'm no more to blame for having Confederate ancestors than I would be worthy of praise because I had ancestors who fought for the Union.

 

[Broseph Stalin]

Lol it's a bullshit excuse gangbanging and KANGZ darkies use to make up for the fact they aren't successful like the ones that got out of the hood or decided that being a gangster wasn't all there is to life.
