A new video on race relationships in America is drawing lots of attention for targeting white guys.
Titled, White Guys: We Suck and Were Sorry, the video features four millennial men who have taken it upon themselves to speak for all their brethren.
Im a straight white male, each of the four begins. And were sorry. Youve all been working so hard to fight inequality, and we admit we havent always been the most supportive.

They ask to be cut some slack because of how easy it is to be a straight white man in America, acknowledging that they are a bit resistant to change.
Actually dont cut us any slack, they conclude after owning up to a number of dubious stereotypes. We dont deserve it. Were terrible people.
The video was written and produced by Stephen Parkhurst, who created a similar video last year slamming baby boomers. Parkhurts new effort pillories the concept of white privilege, a central tenet of the so-called critical race theory, an academic discipline that is now a driving force on college campuses across America.
The belief suggests white Americans have an unfair advantage over people of color simply because of their skin color, and the only way to level the playing field is to atone for the sin of being born white.

I know they are and when we have a thread that shows it being done seriously then we can bash the people involved. These four are the good guys. You know I think you one of the best. I just thought maybe you didn’t know it was a joke.
You said...
“Good Lord. You dont have a clue about sarcasm. It is a spoof and has been all over the news as a joke. Good Lord I know things suck in the USA right now but they are going to get better. Relax.”
When I saw it I also took it as a spoof.
Sure there is.
I apologize for working hard since I was 14 and paying taxes to support the ungrateful, the unmotivated, the uncaring no-loads who have dragged this nation down and blame me for it.
They are right.
If I had refused and they had been forced to get their worthless selves in gear and HAD to earn a living, if, I had not paid so much in taxes, blinded by my own efforts to provide for family and self, then maybe, just maybe, these worthless whiners would have been forced to fend for themselves and grown up and made something of themselves.
So, I'm deeply sorry for every weekend I didn't spend fishing or hunting or just screwing around instead of working my ass off to indirectly support a wretched pack of ingrates.
(you gotta be f'n kiddin' me)
Pfah. They might be men in a strictly biological sense, but they definitely left their stones somewhere back of Milquetoast Alley.
You apologize... As for me, I stand by the fact that if it wasn’t for white ingenuity, these racist low achievers of the darker races would still be toting buckets to the river in order to get water.
Sooner or later when the money runs out, they’ll learn exactly what Darwin meant by “fittest”.
Let them work as slaves for the black folks
I am a white guy that came from what most would call a poor white trash family. To every so called minority out there in the world; if you can’t pull yourself out of poverty or the gutter by your own strength, drive and determination then you deserve to stay there.
This is the United States of America, you can be anything you want to be, BUT you have to WORK for it!
Where did you get the impression I would ever apologize for being white? I’m proud of my heritage.
Yesterday, I apologized to a bunch of shrimp for being at the top of the food chain. Then I ate them.
These dudes might have a third appendage but they definitely are not men.
That was sarcasm based on your first sentence in 37 FRiend
“Parkhurts new effort pillories the concept of white privilege, a central tenet of the so-called critical race theory, an academic discipline that is now a driving force on college campuses across America. “
For sure and they can only speak for themselves, they sure as hell don’t speak for me....shame on them for what they think. They are by their own mouth, bigots and guilty of such things. I have several son’s in their 50’s that were told when as young men applying for a job, they were not the right skin color. Some jobs are saved only for colored folks....that would have been back in the 70’s/ Just a piece of history for the young freepers.
These duplicitous souls deserve the Eighth Circle.
Understood; sorry. FRegards!
They may suck and they can be sorry, but they can kiss my rear.
Just seeing this now; my internet service has been down.
“Atone for the sin of being white”, huh? They can atone for making me fall victim to violent nausea.
Beyond that, I better keep shut...don’t want to get banned. ;)
