There go my fellow conservatives, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America's flirtation with neosocialism. But there's a massive silver lining in the magical clouds that lofted Barack Obama to the presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America:
The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively working with America-hating domestic terrorists. Yet white Americans made Barack Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov. 4, 2008, white guilt is dead.
So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. For more than a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 1960s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution to the country's problems. But if a black man can become president, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barack Obama destroys the validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is exactly ZERO. No more Rev. Jeremiah Wright's "God Damn America," Al Sharpton's Church of Perpetual Victimization, or Jesse Jackson's rainbow racism. Cornel West? You're a fraud. All those "black studies" programs must now teach kids to thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.)? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. To those Eurosnots who forged careers hating America? I'm still waiting for the first black French president.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more complaining that "the man" is keeping you down. "The man" is now black.
It's time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid '60s ideas. Drag it over there, right between free love and cop-killing. Careful, don't trip on streaking. Just dump it. And then wash your hands. It's filthy.
Obama's ascension also creates another gargantuan irony. How can liberals sell American racism, class envy and unfairness when our new black president and his wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and are now moving to the White House? How unfair is that? Now, like a delicious O. Henry tale, Obama's spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by its own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama's election has validated American conservatism.
So ... Wham!!!
That's the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. Dead and buried.

Biggest belly laugh of the week.
ping!
Because it's jam packed full on nuts!
“That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt.”
DREAM ON!
Reparations are coming for stuff YOU never did to ancestors of blacks that no longer live.
Of course, some of you ‘typical whites’ have ancestors that assisted in freeing slaves and otherwise helped blacks in the past...
... I suppose you’ll be getting checks in the mail from the children of THOSE blacks (sarc.)
STE=Q
Hopefully that wont stop us, it sure won't stop me. If and when bad things happen under BHO's watch I will shout early and shout loud. Honeymoon period my arse!
The race card is too useful to be given up just because one person of African descent, not even a descendant of American slaves, is elected President. So far there have been 42* white men who served as President (36 individuals actually elected to the office)--until there have been 42 black Presidents I don't think "white guilt" will vanish.
So far there have been 46 Vice Presidents, of which 45 were white and one was part white and part Indian (Charles Curtis)...none were African American.
*Bush is actually the 42nd President, because the 22nd and 24th Presidents not only had the same name and same date of birth, but were actually the same person. So that village in Turkey where the villagers sacrificed 44 sheep to celebrate Obama's victory blundered--43 would have been enough.
The problem is that our fellow passengers on this lifeboat have been drilling holes in the hull letting the water in. We can't plug the holes fast enough anymore.
The likes of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have to go black market status with their agenda.
The limp-wristed, spineless and brainless sufferers of “white guilt” will be with us always. Just as long as there are clueless, cowardly and easily led people.
I’m not into sports at all, I hadn’t a clue that the NFL was all black, I thought that was basketball. Being south american my sport of preference is association football. And the best players have been both black and white. Pele and Maradona come to mind. I don’t watch those games either. To me sports is like sex, why bother watching other people doing it? That to me is boring. Being in the middle of the action is better.
Barack 0bama, the first affirmative action president.
Is the era of white guilt over?
Of course not; not until there have been an equal number of black presidents as white.
But remember when Hillary ran against Obama in the North Carolina primary with virtually the same agenda, Obama still got over ninety percent of the Black vote.
White anglos should not celebrate either. they will be less than 50% of the population in maybe 15 years and perhaps 25% by the end of the century. You'd all better learn spanish real fast. Demographics wins the day. The womb is the real weapon of mass destruction. At least Latinos are not madly in love with abortion as birth control.
Congratulations!! Now get to work.
We’ve reached the mountaintop. No more whining.
You don’t say...?
I still expect a public apology for his obviously racially insensitive comments. Jackson and Sharpton march tomorrow.
Actually, Sharpton and Jackson have brainwashed the black community into believing that the Democrats are the best party for *blacks*. That’s the key. It has very little to do with actual issues and everything to do with racial identity politics.
Pshaw. The Left will continue to milk that cow for many decades to come. It’s not like the effeminate feelings crowd will suddenly become less manipulable by the media just because one guy got one temp job.
