Here's what's behind white guilt

Universities and colleges have long been indoctrinating that whiteness is an evil that must be shamed into the corner and apologized for. At first a subtle approach was used to propagate this message. In that way this radical concept was able to fly under the radar of the general public and thereby invoke little resistance. But as time went on, its promoters in the seats of higher learning became bolder and bolder. What was once implied or presented only in between the lines was made explicit. Before you knew it, "White is Evil" was formalized into a doctrine of politically correct belief that was not to be questioned on campus.

Following the lead of the universities, many corporations and government agencies fell in line. They started putting their employees through training programs to insure that even the most unrepentant of whites learned of their 1) privilege and 2) culpability in the sins of Western Civilization. This brainwashing has now even seeped down to the lowest levels of the K-12 public school system.

Many people now feel ashamed of being Caucasian and go through life carrying the burden of white guilt on their shoulders. The late Susan Sontag claimed the white race is "the cancer of human history." That's an insane thought, but though their positions in the universities and media, leftists have been propagating this very idea. Unfortunately, it has take root with far too many. This is especially true of the young who have been subjected to more intense brainwashing than older generations. But self-hatred goes against human nature, so why are many susceptible to believing such a counter-intuitive idea? It's because of two other human traits.

Anyone who has guilt for being white should self terminate because you’re a useless member of society

Absolutely

I don’t agree with his analysis, which boils down to equating guilt with fear of being envied or being harmed by the envious.

Fear and guilt are two very different emotions.

There are people who are driven to knuckle under by fear of the envious - such as all the CEOs of big corporations who kowtow at the slightest sign of danger to their well being. But they hardly do it out of a sense of guilt.

Envy is the scab that the truly guilt ridden pick at to achieve their end and soothe their guilt.

The truly guilt ridden people are those that have a visceral hate of the fact, the reality, that some people have more than others or are more successful than others, even though they themselves are part of the successful group. It is these agitators, activists, with a depraved taste for equality that are the source of this discord. They’re experts at stoking up envy in the less fortunate and use them to achieve their ends.

They are able to easily grab the high moral ground, after all who is against equality and making things “fairer”.

And they exist in all societies and they cause upheaval to any society. The challenge then is how does a society marginalize them to the point that they are a mere nuisance. rather than a metastasizing cancer.

To paraphrase Lincoln, God must like white people or he wouldn't have made so many of them.

Tucker Carlson's first segment last night was very good--had on someone knowledgeable about how "critical race theory" indoctrination has been going on in recent years. Very dangerous ideology.

Yup. Saw it. And lucky us, our tax dollars are funding some of this crap.

I am white and I have no guilt. Am I alone? I think not.

Well, someone's got to marry obese white women. If Blacks and Muslim men won't do it, nobody else will.

My proof for that statement is buttressed by my observations of trips to amusement parks and Walmart, and any area with a mosque within 5 miles.

Good suggestion, but my preference is for today, September 2, aka Atlas Shrugged Day. That date figured prominently in major events in the novel.

Put another way, it provides a basis for the term "going Galt", which has only begun to be experienced by professional sports leagues.

Yes it is; it is a seducing spirit and a doctrine of demons the sort of thing that the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul warned us against in I Tim. 4:1.

Is it just me or does all of this nonsense resemble a form of heresy?
