Good. Now apologize.
I am not better than you, I am white too. But we need to apologize for our shortcomings and recognize that white privilege does exist. Is it wrong to be white? I'm not sure. I will leave that to greater minds than I. But one thing I am sure about is that we must apologize for our being white because of the privilege it brings us.
| I apologize for my whitness and white privilege | 5 | |
| I am racist so I don't apologize | 27 |
This was obviously written by a racist who want to piss off non-racist white people enough to make them racist too.
Yeah. No. You are delusional if you think i'm going to apologize for existing.
Im sorry for being white. Ill let a black guy sleep in my bed with my wife. Ill sleep on the floor.
You are just a white supremacists with a guilty continence projecting on the rest of us.
Are Slavs currently white ? I haven’t been paying attention to the Rules of Whiteness recently. Feel like they keep changing
I have blonde hair and blues eyes and I’ve had Germanics tell me I’m not white
I'd go as far as to say that anyone who isn't from Scandinavia isn't white. Finns don't count, they're Asian.
White is a classification of race. Many groups of people were not considered white in the past who are considered white now. Latinos are considered white under certain circumstances.
Michael Jackson ended up with white skin at the end of his life but he wasn't a white person, it was a result of a skin disorder.
Brits, Germans, French, might all think they're white, but it's false. Only Scandinavians can be white. 🙃
You edited your comment. It said something else beforehand.
That's an interesting concept. I've never heard of "white" only including Scandinavia. There has also been so much migration by the Anglo-Saxons and possibly other groups I can't think of right now there is so much DNA that is common. I took a DNA test on 23andMe and there is 15% of my DNA they cannot directly place because of this, and my biggest areas I come from in Europe are Scandinavia, Britain, and Germany. We're all intermingled and there is no one paler than a Brit. I inherited British skin and cannot tan. My sister inherited her skin tone from my mom's dad, who, despite being 75% Swedish, can tan.
Like I said, it's a classification. And it's not actually up to you. A lot of people are under the white umbrella today.
They are. Being white is about as subjective as being able to tell the difference between art and porn. You know it when you see it.
I feel like it's different with people of color and white people with their perception of white. I grew up in San Diego around a lot of Latinos and other POC would occasionally refer to Latinos (mostly Mexicans) as "white" when I did not see them as white at all. Some did have lighter skin and I had a friend with green eyes who was Mexican, but I never saw them as "white". Maybe mixed, but they were always darker skinned and seemingly mixed with something else.
But then again Latinos have a unique history in regards to their ethnicity, and it depends on the country too.
I'm from the midwest and that's about as white as you can get. As in theres a clear seperation between ethnic jews and white dispite the similarities. It all depends on what you consider white for a region. As far as the midwest considers white its pale skin with straight hair/lighter hair color. Curly dark hair isnt considered as a white trait.
See that's interesting. On my maternal grandmother's side their hair is very dark, almost black. However, they are German. There are a lot of dark-haired Europeans, which to me is what I consider "white", people of European descent.
"White" is such an interesting concept because I think if you get a diverse group of people in a room, you are going to get several different answers of what it actually means. Different ethnic groups have been added to that classification over time.
I like how we been treating white people like they are evil for Thier skin color when literally this is what POC fought to end. If you hate that you are white that much just kill yourself. We don't need internalized racist spreading more racism. For the rest of the white people privilege might exist but being born a race, color or certain country does not make you the devil. So don't hate yourself. This is coming from a Mexican. I use to get chased around the school yard for being a Mexican but that was because my race was considered inferior. Race isn't what dictates your worth damnit. When people stop thinking race dictates your worth, we can stop all this none sense.
Hey powertothepeople - Stop posting the same garbage over and over bozo!
PS: Still white, still NOT apologizing! I'm proud of my heritage!
If that makes me a racist in your book and makes you angry - even better!
Me too. And I don't think that I have anything to apologize for.
I did not have any choice in the matter; and I've crawled out of the bottom of the barrel social and financial wise and was massively discriminated against when I was younger.
I've moved past that (but it took decades).
Funny troll post.
Anyway, how much do I have to apologize? My skin is as white as snow. However, my great grandmother was full-blooded Blackfoot and shot herself in front of us because of all the discrimination she faced during her life. She was mean and carried a machete on her hip her entire life.
Apologize to me for the bullet that went through my grandmother's head and the reasons behind why she did it. Her blood is my blood.
I'm black and this way of thinking is so stupid LOL why on Earth would you punish yourself for events that you've never been apart of? It's like when black people say we were treated so badly 400 years ago and we deserve reparations, and I'm like what do you mean we? We were never there, everybody from that time period Is dead and gone. LoL
Fuck right off! I'm PROUD of my White Race, and it'll be a cold day in Hell before I EVER fucking apologise for it, let me tell you that! You're not White, you're a hand-wringing, spineless Race Traitor!
14/88!
Everyone is what they are born we're all the same and we all have to be something no one needs to apologize for what race they were born. However people need to apologize for wronging others but to be clear apologizing isn't just saying it it's also never doing it purposely again
