Envy exists when you refer to someone else as privileged.

"Race Scholars" Racists with an education

I don't know that I'd call using a few postmodern mumbo-jumbo buzzwords to express hatred towards white people an "education".

Yes, let’s talk. It means being condemned as racist. It means that the entire left wants you eliminated. It means you can be attacked and knocked to the ground for walking while White. It means you pay full price in college. It means you don’t get the job you want because you’re White. It means harassment in college. It means you are expected to bow down in abject submission and beg forgiveness for being White.

Go to hell.

Include me out,Jonathan! Don't hold your breath waiting for me to ashamed (or proud) of being white. The only judgment I'll accept is the judgment of the contact of my character.

Got it? Good! Now go fornicate yourself!

“For too long, many white Americans have avoided this conversation, and we’ve done so for a reason:”

We had jobs and were busy at work?

Trumpian rhetoric defines white identity not by shared values but by shared resentments.

It's more true this way: Democrat/Obama rhetoric defines black identity not by shared values but by shared resentments.

So much is wrong with this article, but let’s address a few things. First, Do Asians have the superpower of invisibility in Japan? China? Vietnam? Do Blacks have the superpower of invisibility in Tanzania? Sierra Leone? Ethiopia? If White culture is the dominant culture do to ancestry and the fact that white-Europeans are still the majority, then so what?

Are Asians “often survielled” as the author states? Probably not (and they are not Caucasians). Why? The author could probably figure out “why” if they were not sloppy with their thinking.

The author whines that “whiteness” is increasingly “hard to overlook”. Why would you want to do that in the first place? European culture (from whence whites inherit their values) is dominant and proudly so. One could argue that the very Constitution itself is a product largely of the European Enlightenment.

Does the author not realize that they are essentially declaring war on our European cultural inheritance. If that European cultural inheritance is the “whiteness” that he keeps bellyaching about, then he’s seems to be doing nothing more than fomenting resentment against the very principles of the American Revolution.

To be honest, I’m not worried or surprised about it all. In my opinion the end result of all this is probably violence..maybe even a war. This author can look at himself in the mirror if he ever wishes to know what caused it.

many white Americans have avoided this conversation

Every time some Leftist says that "whites need to have a conversation" about race, that "conversation" is single-sided. What it amounts to is the demand that we all get on our knees and apologize for the crime of our very existence to our black and brown alleged betters. If that's the "conversation" route this Metzl guy wants, he can have it. I have better ideas for how to converse.

said, "in their eyes it clearly is _not_ ok to be white."
Exactly. now notch (the creator of mindcraft) is being drilled by a number of leftists if he is a Nazi. He made jokes over the stupid question so they made him into a heretic.

Don’t know what this guy is complaining about. He wanted people “to reflect on whiteness”

Now they have, and concluded it’s okay to be white.

So what’s his beef?

These people are insane. We no longer have a ‘white part of town’ in our city. It has blacks and Mexicans scattered all through it. We do however have a Mexican and a black part of town and yeah, any white person better get out of there fast.

Oh wow, this guy is really profound and stuff.

LOL! Isn't this the 'conversation about race' the Left has been demanding for approximately forever?

Guthrie’s folk tune was filled with bitter irony about haves and have-nots during the Depression.

The Kingston Trio turned it into a positive anthem of uplift during the New Frontier and thus it is remembered.

We high school smart alecks sang it as

“This land is my land,
“This land is my land,
“Get off of my land,
“Go find your own land!

The fact of “white” superiority is in fact: History. The real question to be asked is “Why did the West achieve so much while other groups did not? It is obvious that all races can excel in all fields of endeavor when given the opportunity. And (drumroll please) the Answer is the Biblical Consensus that opened the door to human technological and social progress. Where the (“white”) Judeo-Christian culture fell short, its spiritual reserves and Torah foundation led it to excise those inherited moral failures and move forward to ever expanding freedom and prosperity. It is a Fact, that the white nations were at the center of human progress, but it had nothing to do with the color of their skin. The wellspring of this wonder was the biblical (though flawed) world view of Christianity, enriched and sustained by the Torah: the Instruction for Life that gives mankind the Truth of what is.
