But however idealistic I am, however commited I am to social justice, the fact remains: I am, to my shame, a racist.
1. I am a racist - because I never noticed all of the unearned privileges that are given to me until someone pointed them out.
2. I am a racist - because even after learning about the unearned privileges that I recieve, I still don't notice them.
3. I am a racist, because I have grown up in a culture that, at every turn, teaches me that to be white is to be better, and smarter, and I have absorbed that lesson.
4. I am a racist, because I instinctively react to members of minorities with fear.
5. I am a racist, because I live in a sunset town.
6. I am a racist, because I believe that I deserve the success I have, even though I know people who are more smart, capable, and talented than I am never had the chances that I did to be successful, because of the color of their skin.
7. I am a racist - because I am a white man who has directly benefited from the unfair preferences that have been directed towards me all of my life.
8. I am a racist - because every day, I benefit from the denial of basic privileges to other people.
9. I am a racist, because I do not notice the things that are denied to people who are different from me.
10. I am a racist, because I do not notice the advantages that I have over others.
11. I am a racist, because even when I do manage to notice what is denied to people of different races and backgrounds, I don't speak up.

Somehow in my arguments with committed Liberals, it seems to always amaze me they are so masochistic with no survival gene at all.
The absolute self-hatred is breathtaking; the poor guy just needs a weekend at a Zimbabwe white farmer's home to feel better about discrimination.
I hope he doesn't expect many to join him in his self-flagellation.
Well I’m really glad you admit it - now what are you going to do?
If you can’t accept the guilt, don’t expect me to help you - just go kill your self and ride me of your never ending self-absorbed drama!
“...If you think the Left isn’t unhinged, angry and truly delusional, think again. This guy hates the skin he is in, his parents sacrifices and his people...”
Yes, and I could not care less - except that this homo wants to take the rest of us down with him!
I think what he is missing is God.
It’s by the grace of God....
grace-the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
He just needs to replace all the “I am a racist” with ‘I am Godless’ and it makes more sense.
A typical self-loathing POS Lib. I don’t care if they want to destroy themselves, but they’re gonna take the rest of us down with them.
These people are sick.
Well, if it's any consolation to this leftoid, he can rest assured that we have no shortage of people who are dumber, less talented, and less capable who have been given chances because of the color of their skin. Which one could also call racism.
4. I am a racist, because I instinctively react to members of minorities with fear.
He is a racist.
All men are born equal.
What does that mean?
Thomas Jefferson studied Plato, Socrates, Hobbes, and others.
All men have the capability of taking your life. You, have the ability of taking another man’s life.
Humans have an agreement not to do this. I agree, you agree. This is the basis of law.
Were does this come from? Equality? From God given rights.
I can accept the premise that generally speaking person is lucky to be a white male in America. And I can do it without much difficulty. What I can’t accept it that I should feel bad for that. Even if it is purely luck that I am descended from people who looked around and said, “I’m going to improve my lot in life,” I’m not going to apologize for that.
The person who grew up without textbooks may not grow up to be a Google engineer, but they can improve their station in life and their children can build on that.
Reminds me of...
This is an old idea: Noblesse Oblige, obligation of the nobility.
I’m willing to bet that mommy and daddy were loaded and/or successful academics and that the privilege he assigns to race is much more specific to his circumstances.
But he doesn’t take any responsibility on himself for whatever privilege he thinks he enjoys. The whole point of this exercise is to take his own guilt and spread it to those whom he feels are not sufficiently penitent.
He isn’t talking about himself, he’s talking about you, dear reader, who should be reacting exactly the same way.
This asshat is in dire need of professional help.
Sometimes you wish you could make him ride a motorcycle wearing a burqua...but I digress...
if there are any white liberals out there filled with guilt for being born white, I”ll let you in on a secret. Those of us that aren’t white have only 2 reactions to your type - laughter and/or eye rolling.
If you think your being hip, sensitive, or understanding by trying to patronize other races...you’re not. Your being a pathetic fool who, in the end, has racial issues.
This HAS to be satire. Nobody is this ignorant. I’ve never had anything handed to me because I am white. In fact, I’ve been discriminated against because I didn’t meet the required quota. And I was ineligible for certain scholarships because of my skin color.
Thank you Mister Reeducator, May I have another!
This has to be either a psychology experiment or else an S & M dominatrix is making him write this.
This guy’s name leads me to believe he’s only half-white. Although his other half seems to be Chinese, another ethnicity that has overall done well for themselves - providing no relief from his overwhelming sense of guilt.
