Why so many people plead guilty to the phony sin of racism.
“Yes, I am a white woman, and yes, I have white privilege — too many privileges to count and many of which I do not consciously know,” wrote Christina Wyman in Detroit Free Press last year.
Ms. Wyman – who is an adjunct professor at Michigan State University – is one of many white Americans whom we have watched in the course of the last twelve months lamenting, kneeling and beating their chest in public acts of contrition over the allegedly inherent racism of American society.
One cannot but be startled by this behavior, not least because the charges of racism against America are plainly untrue. Whatever faults the Unites States may have, it is certainly not a racist society, which is something that should be obvious to anyone with the eyes to see (see here).
Rather than being racist, the American system actually favors black people at the expense of the rest. Black people in this country enjoy special rights, protections and privileges that are unavailable to their white counterparts. For a quick reality check, we need to go no further than the admission departments of American universities. Most of them engage in gross forms of discriminatory practices against white and Asian candidates in order to advantage black applicants. This kind of pro-black discrimination is endemic throughout American institutions. Tracing the roots of this bias to the legislation passed in the 1960s, the great commentator Paul Craig Roberts observed that

The communist/Marxist oppressor and oppressed formula moved from money to race. In plain view for everyone to see. And so many don’t see the puppet strings.
Quite so.
I’m white and I’m not going to apologize for it.
My pronouns are gloiously male and No, you can’t.
I am an equal opportunity hater.
Yep. Cultural Marxists (progressives) have been flourishing.
Their end game, though, has become boorish and over the top. They’re now very impatient to see right-wingers and Christians silenced, cast out and punished, publicly.
Many are now seeing them for what they are — adult children who must have things their way, or else they get mean and nasty and throw tantrums.
wyman has confessed her crime. she should step down immediately.
I’m not a racist, I’m a realist. My “privilege” is having morals and a work ethic.
The wokeists should try it some time!
“Nature abhors a vacuum.” People are bowing to charges of “racism” because they have no formed conscience. Conscience is formed by religious training, meditating on the Scriptures, and acceptance of the Natural Law. Our society is rejecting all of the above. Therefore, anything can rise up and take its place, namely, false guilt.
Whites, mostly academics, who confess to white privilege are insincere, commie opportunists. They give up nothing.
Sometimes, your own worst enemy is yourself. Cultural problems create social and economic problems, not the other way around. Case in point. Just look at relative crime rates in the Nigerian American community vs poor African American communities. Same race, different cultures. Nigerian Americans are among the most successful communities in the country. College grad levels at 61%, double the national average. Per capita income well above the national average, crime rates below the national average and less than half the African American rate. 75% of African American children live in single parent households, while 4% of Nigerian children live in single parent households. That one cultural statistic alone should reference where the real problem lies. And that cultural statistic probably is the same reason why you will never see NLM banners paraded in the streets for the simple fact that not one Nigerian American was killed by a police officer last year despite the color of his skin.
Just look at those privileged white guys...
Christianity is a guilt culture, as opposed to Islamic, African, and east Asian cultures, which are shame cultures.

I am a 68 year old half-breed American military veteran.
I have no guilt about anything I have done in my life.
What my forebears have done, I don’t care.
What ‘the other guy’ has said or done, is none of my business.
What ‘you’ think or say about me doesn’t matter to me.
Aggressiveness and extroversion?
How about this?
White female, Alpha, Leo, First Born, fairly well educated. Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma. I CCW to protect them and me.
I think I see the problem. She doesn't have any privilege.
