PBS's 'The Whiteness Project' Seeks to Expose Racism
Newsbusters ^ | April 18, 2016 | Mairead McArdle

The Whiteness Project is back to revive the ill will engendered by racism in American culture.

Documentary filmmaker Whitney Dow released the second installment of the PBS interactive digital series designed to show white people speaking genuinely about racism. This part consists of interviews of 24 white millennials in Dallas over the summer of 2015. His first installment, filmed in October, 2014, features 21 white adults in Buffalo, New York. Dow’s goal is to interview 1,000 white Americans across the country.

While the ostensible purpose of the series is to spotlight white people’s views on racism described in their own words, the underlying goal is to portray white people as clueless and discriminatory.

The project comes from the PBS independent-film showcase POV, now in its 28th season on PBS.

Dow has whites open up about what it is like to be white, such as having to walk on eggshells in conversations about race. Some denied that racism against minorities exists at all. Members of older generations described how they made it on their own and did not feel as if their skin color helped them in any way. A few told stories of being cheated by minorities who were favored over them because of industry quotas.

When a white person is told “black lives matter,” the best response is not to say that “all lives matter.”

The best response is to ask: “Does MY life matter?” The BLM SJW then has only two responses available. If he/she says: “Yes.” Then the white person can say: “Well, I’m glad you acknowledge that white lives matter too, after all.”

If the BLM SJW answers your question with “No,” then the response can be anything from “well, since you’re a genocidal racist, your opinion is worthless, except to the extent that it may be a veiled threat,” to “that’s ok, you racist POS. You’re life doesn’t mean sh!t to me either.”

Bottom line: make it personal.

Exactly. Since they insisted on begging the question, then pose the question, especially since they have the temerity to call the phrase “all lives matter” as “racist” when it can only be the least racist thing to say.

____________________________________________

Bull Cheese. I don’t walk on eggshells reading ANYTHING about being white.

I’d tell this gal this; “You know what it’s like to be white? Not having to worry that another white will shoot me dead for no specific reason.”

White Guilt? Not me pal. I’ve got nothing to be guilty about. And as far as white privilege goes; I count that as just normal everyday “glad to be an American” privilege.

And I’ll share that privilege with any man or woman of any color who will simply step up, take responsibility, and carry on in a normal fashion.

Pretty soon NOT living in a favela environment or Afircan style shanty hut is going to be frowned upon as being "too white".

Ofourse, the elites will still be living in manicured and gated estates far from the favelas. And with our new 80 IQ neighbors, by the millions, there will be little chance of change. They'll be voting on whitey's scraps until only the bones remain.

Good times, they are a' coming. Articles like this only reinforce my thoughts.

Professor Mark Anthony Neal of African-American studies and English at Duke University commented that young white people are either unable or unwilling to talk about race, which he said is proven by their claims that they don’t see color in their relationships with people.

Perhaps Mr. Neal is unwilling to accept the fact that he is the racist in the room as he is blinded by skin color and sees nothing else.

Meanwhile PBS puts this garbage on TV and pats itself on the back for being oh-so "progressive and lib-burl."

That’s an excellent response. The very few times when I have encountered the BLM BS my response was “My life is worth infinitely more than yours.”

Anyone who expresses that crap already has a chip on his shoulder so let’s get to it.

< “This part consists of interviews of 24 white millennials in Dallas over the summer of 2015”. Stopped right there. I know the rest was going to be biased BS written by little minds.
