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.

One of the big trends in American politics is deregulation. Right-winger's in the government have been constantly harping on the idea that the free market is the perfect solution to any and all problems. Anything that restricts the market - any rules or regulations imposed on it - are inevitably a bad thing, which can never do anything but screw things up. And they've worked hard at removing any and all rules that might muddle up their precious market.

Once upon a time, banks had to keep the bank money (i.e., deposits) separate from other things. In fact, they had to keep the entire business of banking separate from the investment business. There were rules about what they could invest in. And so on.

All of this was torn down by the conservatives in our government. And as new financial products came onto the market, instead of making rules to make sure that people were being fair and honest, they insisting on maintaining a strict hand-off policy.

Tarded, balding, ponytailed nerd. Shocker!

[dan1123]

Exactly. He says, “I’m racist”, but what he shows he means by posting this is “you’re racist”.

[william clark]

12. You are a racist because you think that minorities aren’t capable of rising above any disadvantage without your sympathy and everyone else’s money; that they’re like little brother who needs five strikes at bat so he can play with the big kids.

[xtinct]

Conspicuously missing --> like most liberals who are indoctrinated, he's unable to articulate facts supporting this idiotic laundry list of self-hatred

His college professors most likely brainwashed this silly, immature maggot

[Grim]

According to his criteria, then, everyone's a racist.

Feel better now?

What do you find when you look under a pony tail?

[liberateUS]

Why don’t you leave your sunset town and snap up a $5000 house in Detroit? Then you can show us how enlightened you have become!

[muir_redwoods]

These morons are trying to chew off their own teeth. This seriously demented delusion. The shorter and more true response is;

"I am not a racist because I don't make decisions about people on the basis of race"

"A parrot, spewing what he has been taught, a true paragon of Liberal White Guilt."

Definition of racism from http://www.translationdirectory.com/glossaries/glossary007_r.htm

Racism: Any attitude, action or institutional structure which systematically treats an individual or group of individuals differently because of their race. The most common form of racism in North America is in the form discrimination against African-Americans. However, it occasionally is manifested as preferential treatment for blacks.

A secondary meaning is the belief that one race -- normally Caucasian -- is inherently superior to other races. I don't see any of these traits in his description of his guilt. Liberals have redefined racism as something it is not and made it something that can be done without intent all the while those who have racist intent are left to feel good about themselves in their racist behavior.

Wow, where to start. What this person fails to understand is that with advantage comes responsibility. Those who are given much are required in turn to produce on expectations. That is, the advantages given weren’t for self alone but to enrich others as well. What purpose would it serve to give up all the fruits of an advantaged live? Who would be enriched? Thats the silliness of liberal thought. In fact those at the top whip up the simple when they themselves have no such intentions.

[Brett66]

Ahhhh, poor little baby, shouldering the “white man’s burden”. Does he even know how condescending he is being to black people?

I say “black people” because there probably is no other race in his mind, even though his last name is Chu-Carroll which implies he’s an asian.

[Onelifetogive]

I do not notice...
I do manage to notice

So, genius, which is it?

>> 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. <<

And this clown would more than likely call the Patriotic Black Americans at the Tea Parties “self hating”?

Liberal Stupidity.

The left was instumental in the repeal of the glass-speigel act... This idiot is a moonbat.

This "white privilege" thing started about twenty years ago or more. The purpose of it is the attempt to persuade the so-called privileged class of Americans that they did nothing to earn whatever material wealth they've accumulated. What is to be done with that wealth? Why, give it to all the people it rightfully belongs to i.e. anyone not a member of the "privileged" class.

This has been a leftist trope for a long time. The underlying false conceit of this trope is not only that every white American grew up rich and had everything handed to them but also that if some other "minority" were in their place, the results would be exactly the same. Typical leftist bizarro-world "logic" and "reason."
