White Canadians Apologize for Having ‘Unfairly Benefited’ from Skin Color.
Breitbart News ^ | 3/15/2018 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

School administrators in British Columbia are trying to fight racism by posting a series of white-shaming posters on school walls, in an effort to educate students on the evils of “white privilege.” The posters, based on a similar billboard campaign mounted last summer in Saskatoon, bear messages encouraging students to “confront racism” and to not “be blind to the invisible system I am a part of.” Caucasian people, the campaign suggests, even if not racists themselves, still benefit from “white privilege,” and thus apparently need to atone for the inherent injustice of race. “I have unfairly benefited from the colour of my skin,” declares Superintendent of Schools Teresa Downs in one poster. “White privilege is not acceptable.”

Even among those tribal people, a stronger tribe usually dominates a weaker one - defeats them in wars, takes them as slaves, steals whatever they have, or wipes them out. That is the human condition. At least the world has gotten a lot of great value out of whitey and his inventions and discoveries.

Absolutely right. There’s an ages-old saying that still holds - “To the victor go the spoils.” Why the hell have we dumbed down our civilization so much we apologize for our great works and are ashamed of our victories? This looks precisely like a leftist / communist plot to overthrow the west.

This is the kind of crap we barely avoided on November 8-9, 2016. President Hillary Clinton would have had her Department of Education put up such posters throughout all public schools in the nation.

The only real apology will be for these white liberal retards to go to Africa and live half naked in the jungles chucking spears and sending the Africans over to live in their homes in Canada. An inversion of population. I think that’s a fair way to repent for the sins of their ancestors. But wait. Did Canadians even own slaves or oppress blacks ? Never mind. The collective guilt still needs to be shed.

I will only care about this if the Canadians decide to pay reparations. My grandfather was a Metis who, because of the racism against Indians and half-breeds, and the failed Metis rebellion, left Canada for the US, where, after a WWI stint in the army, he became a citizen and was moderately successful.

Well that sucks, Ms Downs, but I appreciate your honesty. Will you be stepping down from your post immediately, or are you giving your two weeks notice?

Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.

There are Nazis among us now...

That is exactly what I keep saying. The old evil reemerges with a newer face.

If you think you should be apologizing for your skin color you aren’t, in fact, benefitting from it.

I will not apologize for my ancestors being smarter, faster and more capable at maintaining advanced civilization than other people’s ancestors. I am proud of my ancestors.

Before the coming of Christ, no one benefited from anything except wealth and power because human life had no basic fundamental value. That is why ordinary people could sit in stands at the Roman Colosseum and watch people be slaughtered and never flinch. It is still that way in many parts of the world. It is Christ who gave human life intrinsic value, and it had/has nothing to do with skin color.

white privilege is an excuse by non whites to gain the unearned, the undeserved, and something for nothing
