Locator bump.

Well said. What really got me is the quote from the guy who runs the New York Times - that he kept giving the cheating reporter chance after chance because he felt guilty, being a white guy from Alabama! What kind of convoluted, sick thought process could make somebody operate this way (oh, yeah... liberalism. I forgot)...
That's just pathetic. This bozo shouldn't be in charge of a 7-11, much less the most powerful newspaper in the country...

As for reparations... well, they can reparate my middle finger.

All "oppressed minorities" and other third world immigrants to this country have only benefited from the standard of living that was made possible for them by the "evil racist white European culture" that founded this nation. Face the truth!

"Fightin' Whities" BUMP!

Hah! I'm so white, the sun reflects off me. People at the beach get a double dose - the sun and those rays reflecting off me! I need a SPF 500!

So called "white guilt" is for liberal weenies. My family is as white as they come, and nobody on either side ever had a maid or a butler of any color, much less a slave. Why should I pay reparations or feel guilt? I don't, and I never will. I have never discriminated against people of any denomination unless they discriminated against me first.

Indeed, as has been argued by D'Sousa and Horowitz, if America were a racist society then blacks that move to this country from Africa or Jamaica would not do much better than indigenous blacks economically. It is the reverse racism, low expectations, unearned benefits, and lies about "White America" that has retarded some of their growth. Of note is the fact that we now live in a time when the majority of blacks are middle class or better and possess a standard of living better than the average Swede. To be in America is to be affluent even when you are poor.

Bingo!! If a non-American black can be successful in this country, then the issue is not the color but the attitude. Many American blacks are still waiting for the elusive "40 acres and a mule" that Jesse Jackson and the other race baiting poverty pimps keep telling them that the U.S. owes them. This is rubbish. They should take a lesson from a newly immigrated black and work hard, and like anyone else here, they can be successful.

Success is proportional to what you get out of it, or as Curley Howard once said: "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking 'till you do succeed!"

It implies that all Caucasians are born with a silver spoon in their mouths

Yes, but many more whites are born with a silver spoon in their mouths than other races.

Friend is getting railroaded out of her job with Texas Department of Human Services because its become an all black buddy club. She is white so has to go. Only 5 years from retirement and crying her eyes out over it.

What about the bad stuff like slavery? Slavery is something that we in the United States ended over a century ago but it still continues in the Sudan and Mauritania. We shipped 500,000 slaves to the new world while the Arabs shipped ten million. Does the left ever write papers about the Arabic past? No, they only want to attack the white male

Ok, so the arabs were worse than US white males. I guess that means since the arabs blew up the world trade center, then if white guys take down the Empire state building, then white guys should be worshipped because they are not as bad as the arabs.

There never was a time of absolute white privilege in this society

This guy argues that whites were not gods, therefore they should be pited as a victim class. The author is an idiot.

There may not have been ABSOUTE PRIVELEDGE, but whites have been and still are more priviledged than any other group.

[knuthom]

Why does collective racial guilt apply only to whites? From the lynchings of the past to profiling today, isn't that what blacks, arab, etc. are complaining about; assumptions of guilt based on race or ethnicity? But they have no problem doing the same thing to whites.

The Europeans were the only ones who were allowed to create anything in the country. In the early years of this country, if you were Indian, you were killed, if you were black, you were enslaved or otherwise excluded from mainstream america, if you were asian, you were excluded from immigration or becoming a citizen.

Yes, but many more whites are born with a silver spoon in their mouths than other races.

Umm, perhaps because their parents and grandparents worked hard and became successful and were able to provide well for their children?

I truly believe that where you discriminate against one, you discriminate against all. This conclusion is obvious to the majority of the American population

This author is an idiot if he "truly believes" this statement. The conclusion is that if you discriminate against any black, that is if you are 99% non racist and if you are 1% racist, then you might as well be a klansman. Further, I think his statement above is obvious to almost no one.

Ok, but black grandparents were likely to be slaves and asian grandparents were illegal aliens because the chinese immigrant quota was set by the whites at 104 people per year. That is not a misprint, the quota was set not at 104 thousand, but just plain old 104.

Good article with a REALLY bad Democrat moment. I thought the author would be smarter than to use a stupid, senseless cliché like "reverse racism". Racism is racism. Period. There is no such thing as "reverse racism". Placing the word "reverse" before the word "racism" means the author has taken to “RAT” terminology. And that's sinking pretty low...

[knuthom]

You seem to have a major chip on your shoulder. What the author and what I am trying to tell you is this: we are not guilty, just because we are white. We did not do anything to oppress you or your ancestors. We accept no blame for what others may have done, whatever their race.

I am not denying that there has been discrimination or oppression. Just saying that blaming all whites is as bigotted as blaming all blacks for crime or all arabs for terrorism.

[staytrue]

I have always refused to fall victium to the fake "White guilt" syndrome

I guess you should hate the author for saying this "I truly believe that where you discriminate against one, you discriminate against all." Since you probably discriminate at least a little, you are as guilty as one who discriminates against all.

I disagree with the logic of this author on almost every level. So while I think your attitude is right, a critical read of this author would indicate severely flawed reasoning.

You said that "Just saying that blaming all whites is as bigotted as blaming all blacks for crime or all arabs for terrorism." I will agree with you but you need to disagee with the author's logic which is terribly bad. He says the exact opposite of what you said.
