What Causes White Guilt?

"I'm sorry I was born white and privileged. It disgusts me. And I feel so much shame."

So tweeted virtue-signaling Hollywood actress Rosanna Arquette, whose three-sentence message had one purpose: to help the political party she supports mainstream the absurd idea that white people should be ashamed of their skin color and, by extension, ashamed of their predominately white country.

Hollywood stars are not the only ones pushing white privilege ideology.  Marxist teachers and professors in our universities and public schools have systematically burdened millions of young white minds with guilt over the accident of their birth, a relentless brainwashing that has yielded profound changes in the political views of students of conservative parents.

Last month, Stephanie Regan, the 23-year-old daughter of a conservative Republican running for the Michigan state House, knifed her own father in the back with tweets intended to torpedo his campaign, as though he's some kind of monster: 'pls for the love of god don't vote for my dad."

Ms. Regan's conservative Christian father, Robert Regan, told The Hill that the two have conflicting views about social issues, including abortion and the alleged existence of white privilege.  The Republican candidate attributed his daughter's rejection of values she'd been taught as a child to indoctrination by Marxist professors at the college she attended.  Robert Regan is by no means the only conservative parent with a child who was brainwashed in college with the utopian promises of Marxism.

The U.S. education system has been thoroughly infiltrated by Marxist faculty and administrators hell-bent on doing their part to help dismantle America's two-party constitutional democracy in favor of single-party socialist rule.

I feel no shame, nor will I feel guilty about my skin color.

The Arquettes have been notorious Stalinazi lunatics for a long time.

They say this stuff, but then they don’t go away to do penance by giving all their stuff to those they’ve harmed and never appearing in public again.

Stinks to be you, Roseanna Arquette. Maybe you’d be happier if you’d been a nicer person, practiced chastity, not used drugs, and not had atrocities performed on your face.

Better looking at 53 than you are,

Life in Zimbabwe.
Life in the US.

Somebody built each of those places. Somebody deserves a lot of credit for a remarkable achievement. And somebody should feel a lot of shame for their failures.

Stop sending your children and your money to Marxist indoctrination centers.

Pubic school teachers, college professors and our MSM — progressives all.

I think it’s narcissism at the heart of this “white guilt”. Libs tend to be full of themselves and this is just another form of humblebrag that these types like to engage.

RE: Stop sending your children and your money to Marxist indoctrination centers.

You’re already PAYING for these schools (K-12) via your property taxes whether you like it or not. Unless parents ( tax payers ) hold these teachers accountable for what is being taught, these indoctrination centers will continue to indoctrinate.

Balck American Enemies hoping to deastoy America have developed the concept of White Guilt from thin air.

The problem is not white guilt buck endemic black incompetence and inequality.

The incompetence and inequality do not apply to the portion of the black citizenry that has strived and overcome and assimilated.

The biggest purveyors of White Guilt and White Privilege have been Jewish. I don’t recall any of them talking about Jewish Privilege. Maybe that’s something we should talk about.

I was born white and don't really have a problem with that. I am not guilty of anything relating to my skin color. I was accused of being a baby killer and war criminal by John Hanoi Kerry who probably should have and may be tried for treason. Being white I do have a much greater chance of skin cancer.

I do not abuse people but suffer abuse from the liberal supremacist.

[NoKoolAidforMe]

I feel and say, quite often these days, the exact same words. I am Caucasian, and I will NEVER apologize for that.

[ronniesgal]

stupid people are ashamed that they are white.
I myself am delighted and don’t feel one bit bad about it.
My husband and kids, parents and sisters, all white. Why would i feel bad?

There are a number of factors here, and the author does a good job noting them. I would add one more: Pathological boredom.

I don't know anyone who has worked honest jobs since a young age who feels any "guilt" about any of this sh!t. These people spouting this "white guilt" nonsense are bored out of their minds and coddled in their own lives, to the point where it takes no effort or energy to survive and even live well. Since they have no problems to deal with (or they're incapable of dealing with them), they have to make up problems that don't exist.
