I hate how today’s media is quick to blame us ” whiteys ” for all the bad stuff in the world. Why should we feel guilty for shit that happened loooong before we were even born? It’s not like it’s my fault that the slavery happened, I was born in fucking 1999, not 1799. 😒
The focus on race in general is very tiring for all of us. I wish we could all move on from it
It is annoying blacks blame whites whites blame blacks everyone is crying and wants to be the biggest victim.
A constant victim mentality can actually further disable people who have been historically oppressed even if those people are not being currently oppressed in our modern society. People can cause a sort of self fulfilling prophecy as a result of their own thinking.
You should have a bit more emphaty. Some people are extreme obviously, but other ethnicities suffered much more than us white today, so enduring a bit of criticism and self awareness won't hurt
White people arent all one group. I've been racially abused by a black person saying all white people are scum because they used to own slaves. I told her I was irish but she seemed oblivious to the fact that my ancestors were also slaves and were treated exactly the same as black people up until less than 100 years ago. Ever noticed that a black carribean accent sounds very similar to an irish accent? There's a reason for that.
Also, polish, Ukrainian, armenian, and many other "white" nations have suffered as bad as any other race. Even if you blame british people that is also bullshit, most slave owners in America were of British descent but the british also abolished slavery in the USA. Blaming an entire nation or race of people for the actions of some of their people is stupid and pointless.
I can never understand why white people take all the blame of slavery, What about Hispanics? Portugal and Spain had a large hand in the Atlantic slave trade. Their role in it is completely ignored. Plus, as you stated, not all whites were involved in it and some were themselves slaves. But if you bring it up you'll be called a racist.
Not to mention there is still slavery today in Africa. Blacks are selling blacks in the congo and liberia.
Right, some people like to blame an outside force for problems when there’s issues within themselves. Not saying racism doesn’t happen, but let’s not pretend that black people mistreating other black people never happens!
And lets not pretend like blacks arent profiled because of the crazy crime rate in black neighborhoods. Gangster rap and sagging pants doesnt help. We are supposed to act like crime doesnt happen and give everyone a fair chance? Nah, if I see a dude with a neck tattoo and sagging pants im not leaving my wallet on the table or leave my door unlocked.
the Spanish/Portuguese are white dude I have Spanish blood so I know what I'm talking about.
Whiteness Is never a consistent term there was a time that Southern Europeans weren't considered white in the USA but in Latin America it was clear that the Spanish and Portuguese saw themselves as white.
For the most part a lot of Americans think that Latin America is full of brown people (it is for the most part but other races exist to) but they seem to extend that to Southern Europe.
I'm aware that you know this its just crazy that most Americans don't which is odd because there are old people who lived back then who are alive now like my great granny I personally blame the lack of education on the subject.

Hispanic is not a race, but an ethnicity! Hispanic people can be Black, White, Native American, Asian, or a mix thereof.
I know who you are. You're the one who just went off on me on another post accusing me of harassing you and wanting me to leave you alone and here you are responding to one of my comments.
Everyone here knows who I am, because I don't creep around with lots of alts. I wouldn't have a problem with you at all if you would refrain from making inappropriate comments toward me.
Additionally Hispanics are not a separate race from Whites, Blacks, Asians and Native Americans, but rather an ethnicity!
Caucasians are perhaps the most diverse race of people with regard to skin, hair, and eye colors.
Ironically I've had racist whites do the samething stop crying dude assholes exist everywhere.
"You should have a bit more empathy towards those that want to demonize you for your skin colour."
You're gonna come on here and talk about self awareness? Here's a clue: Have some before you expect it in others, you sanctimonious cunt.
It's not like some whites do themselves any favors blacks are demonized constantly. When white criminals act up you can't lump all whites as bad when black criminals act up all blacks are bad. It's a double standard and it's insane that people can't see it.
I agree, they don't. You have a section of white people that condone and submit to white guilt which gives a minority of black people the idea that they can successfully get people to take blame for something they aren't responsible for.
I don't know where you're seeing the last part of your comment. It has become culturally unacceptable to attack blacks as a whole, yet it's part of college classes to attack whites as a whole. It is certainly a double standard but not in the way you think.
There's a big difference between guilt and acknowledging the past. I live in a country (Australia) which was invaded and colonised by white people who dispossessed, massacred and raped the Indigenous people and took many of their children away and in which Indigenous people are still discriminated against in many ways.
I don't feel guilty about that, but I acknowledge that all the amazing good things which benefit me in this country are built on that past colonisation.
Slavery has been around way before the 1700s. And alm races have been slaves at one point. Just for some reason we took a liking to own black people during the 1700s. Just the way she roles
It wasn't a bed of roses for the British working class in those days either!
Africans started the slave trade, Europeans ended it. At least they ended their involvement. Africans still doing it.
My favorite is when tbey say whites should be guilted because they benefitted from slavery, but iif you think about it so did they. They're in a 1st world country. Had their ancestors not have been brought over here they'd be living in a mudhouse with worms and carrying buckets of water on their heads. People need to just get along and be thankful for what they do have.
America is amazing. Most white countries are. I shit in a magic chair and press a button and it disappears. I hold a steering wheel and get to wherever i want to go. Life is good.
I like to shit in a regular chair, and well, just sort of leave it there.
That's why I hate Africans those fucks screw each other more then they do outsiders. A part of me wishes that they had been more organized and got rid of the Arabs and Europeans who clearly don't give a shit about them.
American slave traders bought African Slaves from the Dutch, and Portuguese who in turn bought the slaves from Arabic, and African Muslims.
I'm aware of that the slave trade was and is a very complex business when it came to getting slaves it varied most people like to use the criminal meme.
As if every African slave deserved their fate but criminal could have meant anything back then it could have been a defeated tribe or just a group of people that everyone didn't like.
It's doubtful that hardcore criminals were sold because they were bloodthirsty no Africans normally killed people like that as for the Islamic slave trade I'm aware of that one it was and is just as bad.
Most tend to bring up the castrastion meme but that was only done if the slave was going to be a harem guard most male slaves were made into slave troops eunches made poor warriors but it was still bad.
Many slaves were worked to death in Islamic lands and Arabs were just as ruthless as their European and African counter parts.
The only possitives about the Arab slave trade was that there was a few benefits as fucked up as that is they allowed slaves to buy their freedom depending on which country.
European slave states allowed that to but from what I understand only Latin America allowed that on a large scale the United States made it clear that slave status was forever and was pasted on to your kids.
In addition the America south didn't want slaves to be educated because they feared revolts.
in Latin America and even Europe as well as Islamic territories they at least allowed slaves to learn.
Why do you think Africa is poor and full of "mudhouses" in the first place? Who do you think stole and continue stealing everything from Africa?
Get educated mate.
If most of Africa is poor because somebody stole the wealth from them, how come Liberia is so poor? What are we doing to them to keep them poor?
It was apparently ok when the americos had it(they were assholes)then things went to shit when the natives took it. I will be up front I'm not a fan of native Africans they have a nasty habit of fucking things up.
It's a joke, right? You can't be so ignorant. Please tell me it's a joke.
Both assumptions you're making are wrong. First off we buy their resources. We buy tons of oil from Africa. 2nd they just allow Americans to come in and mind for gold and minerals. They sell their minerals for next to nothing.
But even if you were right and they got their shit taken. Doesnt that show how stupid they are? They have the most natural resources on earth but somehow most of those countries are poor. So why did they allow their shit to get taken? Because they have shitty militaries. They always have been behind everyone else technologically (since the fall of Egypt of course). They're living in mud houses. They always complain to the world that the system is rigged but no one cares. Life is all about competition. Its not fair it will never be fair. Instead of wanting a handout they should build their own countries.
Yeah... They allow it... And the world is full of pink unicorns and flying puppies.
LOL. Are you even reading what you're saying??? I don't know if all the people in USA are as uneducated as you (I hope they aren't) but you obviously don't know shit about the world history.
European countries have fucked Africa so bad that It doesn't get better, and they do everything they can for it to stay that way. Nothing to do with being stupid but centuries of abusing by "white" people.
Life isn't about competition. You're making it about competition because you're just happened to be born in good conditions. Your words would be totally different if you were born in a poor country.
Life is about adaptation. Not competition. People are stronger together. But it's impossible with people having your kind of mentality. If all the nations on this planet worked together, we could conquer the galaxy.
Whether they allow it or not their shit is taken. Why is no one taking MY countries natural resources? Their poor because they were dumb. It doesnt matter about the pity party bullshit. Doesnt matter who why what or when. What matters is their shit is gone and theyre poor. We can argue all day about WHY their shit is gone but thats irrelevant. Why doesnt that happen to white countries?
And no Im not a hypocrite. I try to avoid being a hypocrite as much as possible. That's why I am against taxing the rich at ridiculous rates and i am for less government and more capitalism. Most of those bitter liberal ppl complain about the 'evil rich' because they're jealous. If YOU were given millions of dollars your opinion would change on taxing and capitalism.
Listen man, I had the same mindset as you years ago and it did nothing but hurt me. I see it in you. You're always angry at the world, lashing out at everyone on here, telling everyone how stupid they are and how smart you are. Give it a rest man. Be honest with yourself your miserable. Im not gonna argue with you any more. Whats funny to me about this argument is I'm almost positive I donate more to charity than you and I know I'm nicer to ppl than you. And white countries are the most charitable countries on earth BY FAR (evil capitalists). So stay on your high horse. I do wish you luck and happyness in life tho, you need it.
Because you don't have a country in the first place, you stole it from native americans. You've been building on their ressources for years and used it since. So of course no one can take those ressources back.
People are people and stupidity is irrelevant of what race you are, even if a white supremacist like you want to think otherwise.
It did happen to white countries in history. Seriously, check your culture.
I don't really care about rich people and I'm not a liberal nor a capitalist, I don't give a fuck about politics. This is another unrelated topic.
You're projecting yourself on me. I'm not angry at the world and I don't lash at everyone. I just don't care at all. And I think we're all stupid to an extend.
I see people (including myself) as machines and I act accordingly to create programmes that can make people work a certain way.
How do you know you are nicer? Someone nicer wouldn't considerate themselves nicer. So you probably aren't.
If it was a simple case of Africa not progressing because of "Whitey" then why was Africa not as advanced as Europeans prior to the slave trade? Your premise is wrong.
I wouldn't say it that way dude I know for a fact whites wouldn't shut up about it if their ancestors where fucked over. There is no bright side the atlantic slave trade was evil and all who took part in it were subhuman pieces of shit.
i don’t Understand the notion ”reverse racism”it seems like self-deprecation yo me especially all this things that’s going on ww3 around the corner and Australia literally Still burning.
"White guilt" is devised by white leftists to manufacture a sense shame in whites who are not on the left into shutting up or giving in to leftist agenda.
It is a pressure tactic to evade having to use facts and logic to support the left's policies.
Lots of people think lots of stupid shit. I don't follow politics and all that super well so I didn't even know about this tbh.
I don't follow that I'm of the personal belief that if a individual fucks up that's on them. That being said while I'm not for white guilt I'm not for the idea that certain races are more violent then whites. If you can agree to that then we don't have an issue I don't look at race when it comes to crime plenty of white criminals where I live.
It's to be expected nowadays. People that expect white guilt want it because then they don't have to acknowledge that their life is shit because they're shit and will remain shit until they decide not to be shit.
Why bother trying to earn importance through what you do/achievement when you can claim importance through what people do to you/victimhood?
Then you get the moral busybodies that are white but also have white guilt. They're like the first lot of people except on a moral scale. They would rather take the easy route and pretend they've achieved moral greatness by licking the boot rather than putting actual work in to change the world for the better.
White guilt is retarded. You're not doing shit in life because of "The white man", you're doing shit in life because you're shit. Get a grip.
