Sounds like liberals won't be happy until they make every white walk a bed of hot coals while confessing how evil they are for simply being white.

Seriously considering joining the five cent head club so I can act like a complete idiot and suggest the most bizare ideas without any repercussions while being wildy cheered on by my fellow five cent head club members for being so friggin' woke.

On Friday, the Washington Post released a new video as part of its podcast series titled "The New Normal." The five-minute segment titled "What is White racial identity and why is it important?" featured an array of mental health experts and scholars in which they discussed the "understanding your whiteness and the ways that white supremacy benefits you."

I have no doubt that some African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, & Native Americans feel that European/Caucasian Americans since the 1960s have been without doubt the most generous and gracious people in history.

Today's Caucasians are living in a country that will eventually become the first major Caucasian nation to become a non-Caucasian nation.

And what do they do?

They eagerly help the two major minorities to prepare for the day when they will be running this nation.

No, today's Caucasians have nothing of which to be ashamed but everything to be proud of.
 
I'll admit: being White is pretty freaking awesome!!

Especially a European White Male!! I dont have any complaints!!

We're without a doubt the most wildly successful demographic in history, sure we've made a few mistakes who hasn't?

But when the going gets tough, you can always count on the European White Male to come through with the science, technology, and CAN-DO spirit to git 'er done!!!

We've got nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing at all to apologize for IMO. In fact, would it be too much to ask for a little *GASP* THANKS maybe? (y) :unsure:

"Author and trauma specialist Resmaa Menakem introduced the idea stating "[a]n antiracist culture does not exist among White people. White people need to start getting together specifically around race." He also added that these White-only accountability groups could have to meet for a period of several years to end up with a community "aligned with each other."

Professor and psychologist Rebecca Toporek agreed with the idea claiming accountability groups "are really helpful in terms of having a place to process, having a group of people whose responsibility it is to call me on things, or to challenge me."

Fellow trauma specialist Ilyse Kennedy said that White people needed "period of deep shame for being White and for acknowledging the harm that our ancestors have caused."


Better get right on that .... Hang your head in shame, white people. Repent!

Sorry white wingers, you don't get to take credit for things you fought every step of the way. We are going to drag and shame you, your neighbors, your children and your culture until you all bend the knee.
 
I have a hard time accepting tweets as legitimate criticism.

This is a very interesting post. What sort of preparation do you think non-whites need to be leaders? Gerrymandering based on race? Banning the discussion of racism in history in our schools? I'm skeptical.

I'm not sure some liberals understand how blatanlty racist they are.




.......and clocktower crazy.
 
1. What kind of rebuttal would one expect from Fox News? Quoting them is a non-starter.
2. I am white, I neither feel shame (sorry to WAPO) but neither am I defensive and feel slighted, as those who post these kinds of threads seem to be.
3. If you have nothing to be ashamed of, you wouldn't care what other people think or say about you.

Perhaps you need to go into the bathroom and slam our head with the toilet seat a couple dozen times to help you see the light of how auwful of a human being you are based on your skin color.

I'm trying to explain reality to you. Do you really want to raise your children to be trolls? I don't mean that in the internet sense, I mean that in the traditional living under a bridge sense as a rejected outcast from society. It's almost irresponsible parenting at this point.

If I had children, which I don't, I would try my best to raise them to act and think the complete opposite of people like you.

No offense.

I didn't mean you personally but the white wing in general. And no offense taken.

Sounds ... woke.

Awww.
The authors of dobieg's OP misquoted the person who gave them their clickbait quote.
There's no "should" or "ought" in the persons' statement on this matter.
Shirley, that's not the reason why OP failed to link to the source instead of merely commentary about it, right?

Kennedy does NOT say that white Americans "should" or "ought" to have "period of deep shame for being White...."
Ilyse Kennedy is describing Kennedy's experience and the experience of other ppl Kennedy has worked with.

I'm not mad that the authors of dobieg's OP were so misleading with their clickbait.
I'm just disappointed.
And that's on me for expecting so much.

I was wondering how white people were victims today. I figured something probably happened somewhere.
 
It's Ilyse Kennedy's opinion.

My opinion is different.


*shrug*

Folks that label MLK and his colorblind society as racist are doomed to failure. It's absurd.

😂

Who mistakes you as an ally of MLK and the Civil rights movement? Guess what buddy, you can't affectly claim to be the people who support a color blind society when your party and movement is so overwhelmingly white. It makes people stop and go hmmmm.... 🤔

It's easy not to see any color in a room full of white people. 🤣

tbf, it only MAY be Kennedy's opinion.

Kennedy doesn't actually say what the OP says Kennedy said.

Idk Kennedy well enough to meaningfully speculate about Kennedy's feelings.

I am willing to wager there're that some other posters who undoubtedly feel more confident in their ability to assess Kennedy as a person based on this info.

You realize a lot of that success was because we killed more people, right?
