Very informative "Thoughts from a Recovering Racist"

some people can still learn


"and I call it “super-white”. I was raised in a small farm town in Illinois – white family, white friends, white people at my church, white teachers, white kids in my classes, white players on my sports teams, white players on the teams I played against – WHITE!"

Great article from a white person that seems to get it.

go suffer your white guilt by yourselves. we are sick of hearing about it here
I dont have white guilt moron. I'm Black.
You'll feel better when you finally come to term with your racism, most here know you're a racist you're almost as bad as guno is.
 
'And so I want to end with a few thoughts to any white readers out there. Some of you are way out in front of me on this, and I need to learn from you. But for those that are still waiting to put the “recovering” in “recovering racist”, a few final thoughts:

  1. If your whole world is pretty much white people, like what I described above, watch what you say. I shouldn’t tell a woman not to yell and scream during childbirth, and you shouldn’t tell the black community that they are overreacting, or missing the point, or biased. We have no idea how they feel or how deeply this hurts. These last two weeks have inflicted serious injury, so please keep quiet and don’t aggravate their pain.
  2. I know some of you want to defend cops, and I get that. You feel that the everyday, sacrificial lives of police officers should inspire gratitude – not rioting. And you are absolutely right. But these marches and riots are in response to a systemic issue of racism and prejudice, not just individual officers. And if the primary response of the white community is to make sure police officers know they are appreciated, while showing little concern over black men dead in the street – that only exacerbates the pain and frustration of the black community.
  3. Please, please, please don’t say things like, “Race doesn’t matter – we are all just human” or “Race isn’t the issue here”. Race matters. Race is the issue. Being black is the issue. Being white is the issue Skin color is the issue. And to suggest that these don’t matter devalues the life experience of racial minorities as well as makes you someone they know doesn’t understand – and they can’t trust.'
This is obviously not your work, but a portion of what you linked to in the first post.
Point 1. Michael Brown's death hurt no one in the black community but his family. The rest used his death as an excuse to riot loot and burn. If blacks were collectively hurt by the death of young black men, they wouldn't kill 4,000 of them themselves every year. Officer Wilson killed an 18 year old thug. Just one and that makes him and all other whites "racist". What does 4,000 murders of blacks by other blacks say about your community other than your priorities are fucked up? When your priorities are getting free shit either by gaming the system or by outright theft, you and your "leaders" should rethink them.
Point 2. Marches and civil disobedience are the right of citizens when faced buy what they consider injustice. BUT that right disappears when it conflicts with the rights of those just trying to eke out a living. Burning used car lots and shoe stores, overturning police cars and blocking highways are all unacceptable forms of protest.
Point 3. Being AMERICAN is the issue. Get over being black. You have everything you need to succeed in this country. You have the same infrastructure, the same public education, all the same rights and privileges should you chose to man up and use them. Get the fuck over slavery. It ended 150 years ago. Race is only the issue because you make it the issue.
 
To be clear – I wasn’t racist in obvious, belligerent ways. My racism was subtle and nuanced. It appeared in silent assumptions, private fears, and in my total, absolute, pervasive ignorance of my privilege.

Right there, you know this story is completely made up by a leftist hack
Where do you see that in the words you quoted?

5th paragraph
Poor guy either can't read or follow a link.
 
As a lily-white corn-fed cracker and racist by default, how am I to recover from this label that has been placed upon me by others? :dunno:

Any suggestions would be appreciated. :thup:

The suggestions are in the article.

Still not seeing the thought you expressed anywhere in the article.

"Thankfully, living overseas and in urban areas has diversified my life some. This includes introducing people that are black into my world. I have black friends, black church members, black small group members, black colleagues. My daughter is black. Admittedly, I experience the world differently than I did growing up."
 
yep me an my multi racial and multicultural family are really racist, dummy , how was your klan meeting last night steph
Isn't Stephanie black? Could be a self-hating black.
Why is it that liberals view blacks when they do the right thing or say what needs to be said labeled self hating black?
Who said they were doing tor saying the right thing? You arent too intelligent so you believing they are right most likely means they are wrong.

More like a reading comprehension fail on your part.
 
You are an amazing man there, Assclap. Can't count AND can't tell the difference between part of the article you supposedly read and a comment.
AND you claim I have a comprehension problem.
