Wow, I must have extraordinary powers of persuasion to so influence the large majority of Blacks who aren't Conservative. But to quote Greg Wilson--"I'm not that good." Of course to you, the large majority couldn't possibly have opinions based on their own lived experience, could they? It must be those outside agitators putting those thoughts in their heads. As I've said what seems countless times now, I am not speaking of white guilt. Perhaps you have a need to speak about it, I don't know. What I am talking about is a system of institutionalized white privilege. A system that a large majority of Blacks in America understand: "Most blacks identify racial discrimination as a major factor in a list of problems the African American community faces, including shorter life expectancies than whites and a higher likelihood of going to prison. Most whites call racism a minor factor or not a factor in those situations." http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2008/07......ing-act/

What does that have to do with: 1. condemning white people? 2. saying anyone is a racist? 3. just because you don't 'espouse white guilt', doesn't mean you don't 'feel' guilty for your privilege just the same. (Although I must admit, for someone who believes that they have received so much privilege their entire life, they must be pretty heartless not to feel a bit guilty about it.) And of course, you completely ignored the only important question in the post. "If identifying those mechanisms is the first step, what is the 2nd step? For instance, how do you repair those terribly damaging effects of enslavement and the denial of rights and wealth that were passed down?" As you and I both know, the first step you stated is only cover to get to the important steps to follow. Once you identify a problem you've got to come up with solutions. |

Of course most blacks are going to cite racism as a factor in their lives, because the agitators want it that way. Nothing is the fault of the people themselves. And, this is because children are born into this culture and have a difficult time of escaping - because liberals want to keep them entitled from womb to tomb. A sham and a shame!

Is this thread still about a minimum wage of $20/hour for unskilled labor?
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

It was but in the process of our inquiry we stumbled upon the Jewish McDonalds conspiracy to wipe out the whites.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

OK, so now who's the dummy? You're answering questions I didn't ask and claiming you're having to repeat yourself. You didn't just mention it, you asked a question: Quote:
Well, thank goodness you don't feel I should feel guilty because of my white privilege. (since I don't, but do you?) And I made it clear many times that the I was not talking about white guilt. Why would I feel guilty about a system that I had no hand in setting up? I would, however, feel guilty if I didn't acknowledge the system and didn't seek its demise. I do feel ashamed for my fellow human beings who try to deny its existence, if you want to get into the realm of personal feeling. I feel exactly about white privilege in the US as I did about white privilege in South Africa. As for the second step, that comes out of constructive dialogue based on understanding of the first step, the acknowledgment of white privilege. I've provided several references to help you start thinking about it. Tell me when you finish reading a those books and then we can discuss the next steps coherently.

Yep, a Double Lift is the same as a Triple Lift, and a lightening bug is the same as lightening. As I said before, if you can't even get these basic concepts straight, it's no wonder you're defensive about race.

Quote: That system--and the people who supported that system--is what needed to be condemned, not any individual white person. Quote: I'm not saying that because you have white skin privilege, that you're a racist. White skin privilege is just a fact of a racist society, not a fact about any one individual. All whites, including myself are recipients of white skin privilege. It's like getting extra point sin the game of life. It doesn't mean you will win, but it gives you a head start. Quote: I wouldn't know since I don't espouse white guilt. I offered three quotes where I had specifically denied that I feel whites are guilty solely because white skin privilege exists.

""I grew up in segregation," Steele told me. "So I really know what racism is. I went to segregated school. I bow to no one in my knowledge of racism, which is one of the reasons why I say white privilege is not a problem." Steele claims, "the real problem is black irresponsibility. ... Racism is about 18th on a list of problems that black America faces." Whites' preoccupation with guilt and compensation such as affirmative action is actually a subtle form of racism, writes Steele in his book "White Guilt". "One of the things that is clear about white privilege, and so many of the arguments for diversity that pretend to be compensatory, is that they advantage whites. They make the argument that whites can solve [black people's] problems. ... The problem with that is ... you reinforce white supremacy. ... And black dependency." "In the holy book of leftist belief, "victimhood" is the most celebrated quality deserving of attention and pity. This is in part because many on the political left have a pathologically narcissistic need to see themselves as "champions of the oppressed", hence the constant preoccupation with identifying and maintaining 'oppressed' groups of people to champion. " "The entire leftist scam is really quite clever from a psychological perspective. It offers your typical leftist minion who mouths the slogans and mindlessly makes decisions based on race, gender and the proper ideology with positive reinforcement about their moral superiority in "standing up" for the downtrodden and oppressed; while insuring that the downtrodden and oprressed stay that way and remain eternally grateful for the crumbs the left throws their way." |

The first two quotes mention nothing of white guilt and the last quote was posted AFTER you started making a stink about how you had already said multiple times that you weren't talking about white guilt.
