Thank God and Texas they weren't.

I saw an interesting headline at Weasel Zippers today. It dealt with a writer at Huffpo who has been on an interesting journey. Ali Michael went through a traumatic period in her youth where, as a white woman, she wanted to avoid the possibility of giving birth to white children who might biologically spread the contagion of white privilege. Her inspiration, of course, was Rachel Dolezal.
I definitely experienced this. There was a time in my 20s when everything I learned about the history of racism made me hate myself, my Whiteness, my ancestors… and my descendants. I remember deciding that I couldn’t have biological children because I didn’t want to propagate my privilege biologically.
If I was going to pass on my privilege, I wanted to pass it on to someone who doesn’t have racial privilege; so I planned to adopt. I disliked my Whiteness, but I disliked the Whiteness of other White people more. I felt like the way to really end racism was to feel guilty for it, and to make other White people feel guilty for it too. And then, like Dolezal, I wanted to take on Africanness. Living in South Africa during my junior year abroad, I lived with a Black family, wore my hair in head wraps, shaved my head. I didn’t want to be White, but if I had to be, I wanted to be White in a way that was different from other White people I knew. I wanted to be a special, different White person.
When you read deeper into the article, the author relates how she obtained a deeper understanding of the situation and decided that it was actually okay to be white… as long as you were the right kind of white. I’ve never been entirely sure what the “right sort of white” is in modern society, particularly when it comes to social media discussions. I do take some consolation from the fact that there doesn’t seem to be a clear cut definition of what the “right sort of black” is either, now that Rachel Dolezal has taken the stage.
But all of that ignores the fundamental and very important issue which Ms. Michale raises in the introduction to her article. If you think that you have some sort of impure genetic legacy to pass on – to the point where it might be poisoning the rest of society – you clearly have the right to choose to not breed. Lord only knows there are all sorts of people who might make such a decision and render a possible benefit to society. If you happen to have an inclination to jump into a cage with live lions just to relate to them, but are then rescued by first responders, you’ve clearly made a statement. But perhaps your statement was enough and you don’t need to pass on those genes. (I’m not saying you “can’t” here, mind you. Just that it’s worth considering.)
Similarly, if you feel that being white is essentially an original sin (which is what this sounds like for all the world) and that such sin will be carried from you to your offspring, then who knows? Maybe you’re right. And just to hedge your bets, you might want to avoid reproducing. If nothing else, there’s roughly seven billion people on the planet already. I’m sure we’ll do fine without you adding to the pool.
If they were really serious they would commit suicide and end their blight on Gaia.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
That would REALLY cut down on greenhouse gas emissions too!
LoL.
Good! My nephew, who is a conservative Christian, is expecting their 5th. ;)
her real reason is that she is afraid she will die in child birth. She can come up with all sorts of rationalizations but the real reason is fear
She’s has attained peace with her defect and decided she is the “right sort of white”. But if she had an army of devoted followers and she knew where you lived...
They don’t need to breed, they just corrupt everyone else’s kids.
That's not necesarily so. I once was fairly close friends with a white woman who had 8 children by three back husbands. Kind of husbands. It's only Mister Number Three, father of Child Number Eight, she was actually married to.
Mo, she wasn't on Welfare and didn't get food stamps, either. She always worked and supported herself and her children. She got occasional, not consistent, help on that from her mates.
Anyhow, she really disliked whiteness, really disliked her parents' whiteness, and wanted to lend her body to the propagation to nonwhites (no kidding.) She taught all her children to think of themselves as black, not "mixed race" or any nonsense like that. She was ALMOST as nutsy as Racial Dolezal except that she really did have a passel of "black" children.
I wanted to be White in a way that was different from other White people I knew.. . . which would include Daddy and Mommy.
That would reduce her motivation down to feeling insignificant and wanting to feel important.
“If they were really serious they would commit suicide and end their blight on Gaia.”
Exactly. Don;t breed means “I still VOTE” so this bastards still destroy the country. offing’ themselves will help the planet and their white privilege.
That’s okay with me.
Thank God and Texas they weren't.
So this is what schools teach anti-white racism.
Liberals don’t want to level the social groups, eliminating the oppression of blacks from the 1950s.
They want to invert the social pyramid of the 1950s, so that white men are on the bottom, white women slightly higher, status going up from there with melanin levels and other demographic checkboxes (disabled, homosexual, transgender, etc).
This girl has been guilt-tripped into a good little dhimmi / untouchable, feeling guilty for her very existence, but eager to serve her superiors to justify her existence
Well hells bells,
If libs are either not having chillen so as to help save the planet along with all their abortions,
Pretty soon all the libs will be in hell where they belong.
