Unfortunately, it’s along the lines of “Honey! Did we save the receipts for these people?”

White people feel uncomfortable about race...

Every time something comes along whites get their heads handed to them like form an ISIS terrorist.

The only “privilege” I see is for minorities in affirmative action, set-asides, quotas, etc.

No. Not a good thing. That issue was settled by us ‘white guys’ long ago. Racism is a only an issue for the ‘black guys’.

I don’t give two cents, Christina Coleman. I am sick to death of this.

White people are straight up uncomfortable even thinking about race

"Uncomfortable" is not the word. We have heard incessant BS about this for so many years, in so many ridiculous ways, it has become like Chinese water torture. All I hear anymore from these morons sounds like the adults talking on a Charlie Brown cartoon . . . wah, wah wah . . . wah wah. . . .

Funny, I was just thinking to myself, 'we need more dialogue on race.'

I only hear it 12 hours a day, so there's plenty of time for more.

: The only “privilege” I see is for minorities in affirmative action, set-asides, quotas, etc. Take a trip to your local County Hospitals, County Clinics, HUD neighborhoods, local colleges (especially two year ones), schools at breakfast, lunch and packed dinners to take home. Free health care for all their children including dental. That's just for starters.

No. They just want to impose their Marxist monologue on race.

Let’s start a racial discussion with Mexicans of Spanish descent and heritage. Let’s inform them that they’re really white people, not so-called hispanics, and to come and get their white privilege.

I’d bet liberal heads would explode, as Mexicans desert the rat party by the millions.

There is no white privilege. Well maybe... Since white are now a minority in California, can I compete as a minority-owned veteran-owned small business?

We “white people” like to talk about how racist blacks are and how hung up they are on their inferiority complex of their skin.

“We are all part of this system, and therefore we all have a responsibility to work toward dismantling it,”


We’ve been doing that. We got rid of Jim Crow. We got rid of affirmative action. We still have a lot of laws that favor one race over another, though. We will have come a long way when applications don’t have “race” on them.

With black "leaders" constantly preaching "hate Whitey," and blaming "Whitey" for everything under the sun, maybe it's time for Blacks to shut up and listen for a while.

Job applications haven’t had race on them since the 1970’s. If you ever see one, grab it and run out of the building towards a lawyer’s office.

White people are straight up uncomfortable even thinking about race . . . responses varied from “I am feeling apprehensive,” to “I don’t want to say anything, you know, that would offend anyone,” and “Maybe I am a racist” . . .

I am no more uncomfortable thinking about race than I am thinking about eye color. I'm indifferent to both, in myself and in others. I don't know why anyone with a real life would give more than a few seconds of thought to "black or white" or to "paper or plastic" or to "Coke or Pepsi". I put my effort into building a successful company, raising successful kids, and other real priorities.

I feel apprehensive when I am unarmed and see young urban blacks dressed in thug-video pants-halfway-down loser uniforms, or young urban Hispanics dressed like thugs, or young urban whites dressed like thugs. Race doesn't make me apprehensive, but racists dressed like thugs do.

I don't care about offending the people whose feelings are so delicate that they can be offended by "micro-aggressions". If hearing "America is the land of opportunity" or any other ordinary phrase makes a sissy cry, I don't mind offending him, because he's too delicate to be permitted out in public.

I'm absolutely certain that I am not a racist. The racists are in our White House, and those who follow a drug-addled bigot who managed to fool enough people to put two presidential elections within the margin of fraud. Real Americans, who judge others by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin, are the exact opposite of progressive democrats. Democrats have always been and still are the party of racists.

How come only white people need to be “self reflective” and “honest”?
