The Brainwashing is Nearly Complete

[strollingbones]

the black comedy, i think eddie murphy...had a bit about it is better to be a white bag boy than a black millionaire....

Kind of telling isn't it? Even as a millionaire; He's filled with self loathing at the realization that despite the money he still hasn't become what he envisions white people to be. Success, and wealth are more often than not, a byproduct of the better creature in social parameters. Bestowing wealth, and popularity upon a lower creature doesn't inherently change the nature of the creature. Upon this realization self loathing and jealousy become evident.

why do you think this..why is it self loathing and not just expressing the truth?

 

[Mac1958]

A generation of kids who have been conditioned to go through life consumed by guilt & shame.

That's a great idea right there.

For him it is the truth... he saw the money, and success as the way to prosperity, and happiness. But even after having these things granted to him he still felt himself lacking something... Something that comes from within. Something that cannot be given to someone; but rather something that comes from within the individual.

i dont see it that way.. not so much as lacking as simply understanding that being white is always better than being brown or black

and when was that written......19th century...what are you two not getting about new days new ways?

There are some things that are as relevant today as they were centuries ago.

Kipling has so eloquently penned many of those things in If and no one has been able to ever say it better

And rather than giving up on the guilt trip and simply understanding that it is better to be than not to be we achieve the opposite of what the guilt trip is intended to do

Only an idiot would think that

The poor thing. Ashamed of his white privilege, but not enough to change to something else if he could.

The Snowflake machine churns out another moron.

The day he turns 18 he should get his entire body tattooed a nice shade of brown and live the rest of his life as a black man as his penance for being born white

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF POEM
Dear women, I'm sorry.
Dear black people, I'm sorry.
Dear Asian-Americans, dear Native Americans, dear immigrants who come here seeking a better life, I'm sorry.
Dear everyone who isn't a middle or upper-class white boy, I'm sorry.
I have started life in the top of the ladder while you were born on the first rung.
I say now that I would change places with you in an instant, but if given the opportunity, would I?
Probably not.
Because to be honest, being privileged is awesome. I'm not saying that you and me on different rungs of the ladder is how I want it to stay.
I'm not saying that any part of me has for a moment even liked it that way.
I'm just saying that I f------ love being privileged and I'm not ready to give that away. I love it because I can say 'f------' and not one of you is attributing that to the fact that everyone with my skin color has a dirty mouth.
I love it because I don't have to spend an hour every morning putting on makeup to meet other people's standards.
I love it because I can worry about what kind of food is on my plate instead of whether or not there will be food on my plate.
I love it because when I see a police officer I see someone who's on my side.
To be honest I'm scared of what it would be like if i wasn't on the top rung if the tables were turned and I didn't have my white boy privilege safety blankie to protect me.
If I lived a life lit by what I lack, not what I have, if I lived a life in which when I failed, the world would say, 'Told you so.'
If I lived the life that you live.
When I was born I had a success story already written for me.
You -- you were given a pen and no paper.
I've always felt that that's unfair but I've never dared to speak up because I've been too scared.
Well now I realize that there's enough blankie to be shared. Everyone should have the privileges I have.
In fact they should be rights instead.
Everyone's story should be written, so all they have to do is get it read.
Enough said.
No, not enough said.
It is embarrassing that we still live in a world in which we judge another person's character by of the size of their paycheck, the color of their skin, or the type of chromosomes they have.
It is embarrassing that we tell our kids that it is not their personality, but instead those same chromosomes that get to dictate what color clothes they wear and how short they must cut their hair.
But most of all, it is embarrassing that we deny this. That we claim to live in an equal country and an equal world.
We say that women can vote. Well guess what: They can run a country, own a company, and throw a nasty curve ball as well. We just don't give them the chance to.
I know it wasn't us 8th-grade white boys who created this system, but we profit from it every day.
We don't notice these privileges though, because they don't come in the form of things we gain, but rather the lack of injustices that we endure.
Because of my gender, I can watch any sport on TV, and feel like that could be me one day.
Because of my race I can eat at a fancy restaurant without the wait staff expecting me to steal the silverware.
Thanks to my parents' salary I go to a school that brings my dreams closer instead of pushing them away.
Dear white boys: I'm not sorry.
I don't care if you think the feminists are taking over the world, that the Black Lives Matter movement has gotten a little too strong, because that's bulls---.
I get that change can be scary, but equality shouldn't be.
Hey white boys: It's time to act like a woman. To be strong and make a difference. It's time to let go of that fear.
It's time to take that ladder and turn it into a bridge.

I must have missed the apology for hunting down conservatives with the IRS and the government putting veterans on secret death lists in Arizona.

 

[strollingbones]

ahh do explain why you consider this brainwashing.....i thought it was excellent...the poem was excellent.....he expressed how he feels and he does it well....he understands what he was given by birth....come on skull you know damned well being born white male is a step up from the other options

My God that kid has nothing to apologize for.

Do you really think it's good for kids to be taught to feel guilty for something they had nothing to do with?

I'm sick of this shit. ANYONE can be whatever they want. Do some have to work less for it? Do some have parents that will do more for them

YEah so the fuck what. Get over it and do whatever it takes

kinda like religion teaching kids to feel guilty for perfectly natural sexual desires..?

 

[Valerie]

people who know they were born into privileged circumstances, well aware and conscientious of the plight of others born into less fortunate circumstances, are better than the alternative...
