Holiday cheer from MTV News: It’s time for some “white guy resolutions”
Hotair ^ | December 19, 2016 | Allahoundit

Something they threw together in the spirit of the season to remind us that racial and gender stereotypes are bad, with one exception. As a billion people on Twitter noted this afternoon as this dopey clip made the rounds, it is indeed basically a campaign ad for Trump 2020. I wrote a few days ago that I dislike the term “virtue-signaling” but what else is this strange little PSA except that? It’s an attempt to equate right-thinking with cheerful, casual contempt for “white guys.” That’s the most annoying thing about it — it doesn’t even muster real indignation. It’s tribal pageantry of the laziest sort.

Anyone who has observed domestic violence will see the behavioral parallels here. The perp attempts to accustom the intended target to progressively more intense levels of inappropriate behavior until the target accepts those behaviors as the norm.

What ‘white privilege’ BS is really about - teaching minorities to think of themselves as victims.

If you convince someone that they are a victim - the chances that they will success in life goes way down. They are really hurting the very people they are pretending to help.

Teaching people to see themselves belonging to a group based on skin color is at the very heart - racist - and sick.

Already exists to some degree in Canada. You get a basic package and then pick and choose what channels beyond the basic package you want if any. The cable and sat companies are tricky though. The pricing can be such that it can often be cheaper to get some sort of package but at least the choice is there. In the old package we were getting the so called music channels but no longer. The nice thing is you can switch add or drop channels pretty much instantly of those you pay beyond the basic package.

I have a former colleague who is white.
Her husband is from the Caribbean. He is visibly black,
but also has Indian, Chinese and Hispanic ancestry.

Their kids are a mix of so many things they could not even begin to answer that stupid question on those forms. The whole thing is stupid.

“Precious Time” is an underrated song.

White Guy: Hey fellow White Guys

Hispanic Guy: It’s about to be a new year

Black Guy: And we think there are a few things you can do a little bit better in 2017.

SPLASH SCREEN: 2017 RESOLUTIONS FOR WHITE GUYS

Hispanic Chick: First of all, try to recognize that America was never –“great”- for anyone who wasn’t a white guy.

Black Chick: Can we all just agree that Black Lives Matter is not the opposite of All Lives Matter? Black lives just matter, there’s no need to overcomplicate it.

White Guy: Also, Blue Lives Matter isn’t a thing.

Black Guy: Cops weren’t born with blue skin, right?... yeah… They weren’t born blue!

Other White Guy: Stop bragging about being Woke

Hispanic Guy: Stop saying “Woke”.

White Chick: Learn what “Mansplaining” is, and then stop doing it.

First White Guy: Oh, and if you’re a judge, don’t prioritize an Ivy League athlete over the woman he assaulted!

Black Guy: We all love Beyonce. And, yeah, she’s black. So of course she cares about black issues. I’m talking to you, FoxNews.

Black Chick: Feel free to take Kanye West, though. You guys can have him.

Black Guy: You know what you did, Kanye… (shakes head dismissively)

Other White Guy: Nobody who has black friends says that they have black friends.

Black Guy: And just because friends, doesn’t mean you are not racist. You can be racist with black friends.

Hispanic Guy: Look guys, we know that nobody’s perfect…

Hispanic Chick: …but, honestly, you could all do a little better in 2017.

White Chick: Some of you guys do a great job. (shakes head dismissively) Some of you don’t.

Black Guy: Because please, 2016 is bad. 2017 can’t be as bad as this, alright? Because this is bad…

SPLASH SCREEN: MTV NEWS

That's right, Arm_Bears! These young black, latino, Indian, and liberal white males are just tools of the progressive elite. Their foolish ignorance is only surpassed by their misplaced confidence. Every sweeping generality that they spew at white men can be construed as racism, just as every slight they claim against us is racism. Even though I find it hard to receive advice from unaccomplished college debters living in their mother's basements (because most probably do not have fathers), I can listen to their charges and personally reflect.

Here is their video in text form...

"Hey [white] guys, America was never great for anyone who wasn't a white guy"

Yes it was, for those who worked hard, served their country, kept their lives clean, and raised strong faithful families

"Can we all just agree that black lives matter isn't the opposite of white lives matter?"

No! All lives matter...period! Black on white violence has erupted across America because young black men (7% of the population) grow up in fatherless homes and end up committing 55% of violent crimes in America. Perhaps we should change the BLM to BLSBOLM (Black Lives Should Believe Other Lives Matter)

"Blue lives matter isn't a thing. Cops were not born with blue skin."

So cops should continue to get shot by young black men? Perhaps if you stopped championing rap songs that glorify cop killing and raping ho(s), the young black men would actually obey the law?

"Stop bragging about being woke!"

White guys get out of bed in the morning and work. What is so bad about being woke? Perhaps you MTV watchers should do the same thing? ;-)

"Learn what mansplaining is and stop doing it!

Wow! Making up words to vent your misandry at white men. Perhaps you need to forgive your ex-boyfriend and get a little forgiveness counseling?

"We all love beyonce...she is black...so of course she will talk about black issues."

No we don't! I despise her and all the other demon possessed attention whores like Madonna, Miley, Brittany, etc. Beyonce's videos causing young black men to get killed because they target cops and do not obey the law. She should be in jail.

"Feel free to take Kanye West...you can have him...you know what you did Kanye!!!"

So if any black man with a brain leaves your racist self pity plantation, he deserves a fate worse than death? Just wow! The progressives kept black men in chains, fought desegregation and civil rights. Now they keep blacks enslaved to government handouts. Blacks who get off this plantation usually always succeed.

"No one that has black friends, says that they have black friends!

What?!

"Just because you have black friends doesn't mean you you aren't racist!"

Why not ask, "have you quit being racist yet?" Having black friends doesn't prove that I am, or am not racist. But don't you think that having black friends is a sign that someone is NOT racist. Your racist lens is so tainted that it reads false positives continuously.

We know no one is perfect, but you [white] guys could do a lot better in 2017...Some of you [white] guys do a great job, some of you don't! Please...because 2016 is bad...2017 can't be worse than this!

Sure, we can do better. Can you? Do you even recognize that you could be more racist and hateful than us?

Here... Let me Mansplain it to the MTV idiots.

Work hard in school. Earn good grades. Learn something useful. “Useful” means something somebody else will pay for.

Get a job, any job, where you do actual work, while you wait for a better job to come along. By working every day, you demonstrate that you can get yourself out of bed, showered and dressed, and to a job on time every day. This will put you ahead of 90% of your peers. Also, some money is better than no money.

Take a job in your chosen field regardless of pay, working conditions, benefits, or hours. Work hard and be diligent. Make sure you are in the office when the boss arrives and are still there when he goes to shut off the lights.

Every work group you ever work with will be populated by slacker losers that you must haul over the finish line, kicking and screaming. You will than have to share credit equally with them. Realize that this is the way things are, and be gracious about it.

Find somebody you love and respect and marry that person. Have children sooner than you should and expend all of your money, time, love and attention on them. Teach them to read by reading to each of them every single day, from birth to Kindergarten. If you do that, a lot of the other stuff will take care of itself.

Stay married until one of you dies.

That’s all it takes. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Two weeks tops, and that’s if the military gets called in ASAP. Major cities would be all but completely depopulated in a month. Not impossible that a reformed Confederacy could demand and get ghetto areas to surrender themselves as slaves or die from a complete lack of food and water.

There’s a reason liberals and militant nonwhites vilify anyone who wants to leave or split off: they know they we are by far the ones who build, maintain, grow and protect virtually everything worth mentioning.
