Hasn’t worked on me. I don’t feel guilty at all. Not even a little bit.
Check again tomorrow. Same thing.
Thoughts? The Deep Police State, the GOPe, and the ‘Rats are solidifying the White Working Class against them.
Pin this event on your bulletin board. Watch how it re-surfaces when Gov. McOffal (sp?) runs against President Trump in 2020.
Funny, folks for all the rants and raves about racism and slavery in the USA...I do not see very many African-Americans camping with the ultra left-wing, hate Amnerica, Democrat low life. Do ya know why? Most African-Americans know that Obama/Clinton/Democrats/CBC/NAACP did zilch for Blacks during the Obama eight years as POTUS. End of story.
What is the goal?
Maybe it’s teeing it up for Kamela Harris or Corey Booker 2020.
(”Look, the country needs racial healing! Vote for the Commie black candidate or you’re a racist!”)
In the words of a black character on a famous sitcom:
“You see, it’s like this. I’m free....so, we’re good!”
I don’t feel guilt about anything. If some bozo cop out in East Podunk acts inappropriately to a black person I had nothing to do with it. Every one I meet personally I treat with respect.
“we know that this is about something entirely different than how the lying media is portraying it”
Their goal is to affirm the Antifa/BLM assertion that words, certain words, ARE violence and as such are not protected by the First Amendment AND may be responded to with violence, up to and including beatings, blindings, and killings, all of which fall under the heading of “self-defense”.
And, make no mistake, they have already proclaimed that words as non-controversial as “men and women are different” constitute violence. Richard Spencer’s ideas, and the ideas of his associates, are out of the mainstream but are, without a doubt, political speech as it has always been understood.
If you accept (and it appears that virtually all elected politicians do accept) the proposition that political speech of this nature, even when holding an order from a Federal judge to permit the speech at a given time and place, may be shut down by a violent Leftist mob, then have no doubt that YOU ARE NEXT.
Remember “Bushitler”? Remember the evil Nazi McCain? or Romney? Or Reagan, the next Hitler? I sure do.
If Spencer and his crew are too far Right for your tastes, I get it. But what I don’t get is people here who think that their expression of political ideas in public is, or should be, unprotected by our Constitution and by the police and soldiers who are sworn to uphold it.
Mentally, the hard Left is halfway to Cambodia, 1975 already. They want you dead. Once you accept their proposition that words are violence, and that they get to define which words those are AND who may or may not say them, you have put your own head on the block.
Nope - I no longer have white guilt and will no longer passively stand by to these destructive antics.
You wanna be successful? Work your ass off like the rest of us. That’s not white privilege - that’s called reality.
Since all is fair in love & war, any means available can be used by the defenders of freedom to oppose these hateful efforts.
We presently exist in an information age; language is used as both a strategic and tactical weapon.
The marxist left monopolizes the primary media channels, but do not control the net.
The divisive haters label and mischaracterize, fully cognizant of the effect on the overall body politic.
We, the defenders of western civilization and the institutions which were created to protect the rights of man, must utilize information as a weapon to identify, defeat the enemies of freedom.
In more colloquial terms, they label us, we label them. It's the weapon of choice in today's broad media battlefield. There's a few names sprinkled in the summation above; feel free to ad as needed.
Frankly, this event has made me even madder at the progressive violent Left.
It was never really about confederate monuments. Few people even notice or care about them. It was just an excuse to launch a crusade against whiteness, blame every grievance on racism, and push the march toward socialism. This is just the beginning of more demands, intimidation, and violence by the far Left.
The left is finally realizing their century long dream. “White people” is now a pejorative. Any speech by the ‘white people’ not condemning ‘white people’ is hate speech.
Not good for anyone in this country.
I becoming convinced that Charlottesville was a staged event for the purpose of pigeon-holing anyone who opposes the white-washing of history as a racist white supremacist.
This will not just be applied to Civil War statues.
When they have finished removing all of them, they will move on to other aspects of American history.
Washington, Jefferson, Henry Lee III, George Wythe, Madison, Monroe and the rest of the founders will be next.
No defense of American history, culture, values or way of life will be tolerated.
I hope it has the opposite effect. I know some whites who are sick and tired of all this and are beginning to speak out. While whites used to whisper in meek tones, “I’m not prejudiced, but...” now they’re speaking much more boldly.
Nope. Never will feel guilty for who God created me to be.
SOOPERBINGO
Yes, we need major white guilt campaigns every year to keep the majority population in line with leftist, progressive, social-engineering and governance.
I’ve been living my 65 years with no guilt for anything that i have done.
If i haven’t personally done it, I have no reason to be guilty.
I was born what i am. Why apologize?
Oh, don’t expect an apology if you get in my face, and then, “on my bad side”.
It might work with some liberals. Conservatives grew up.
