Every time I se the "Woke" I keep thinking back to the Ultimate Warrior when he trief to replace Focus with Foc
:speechless:
White guilt is like catholic purgatory. Light up a Newport and crack open a bottle of king cobra and you'll be good on white guilt for the day. Buy a ticket to a Tyler Perry movie and you shouldn't feel white guilt for a least a year
The Like / Dislike bar sent my sides into orbit from laughter.
All I really have to say to this video are:
1.) Whatever floats peoples' boats, I guess. If people are willing to put money down on it, good for them. I hope they're satisfied with what they get.
2.) At least these women fully realize the absurdity of what they're doing, and are shameless about their capitalist angle. "I might get a new car of this. I won't say on air I won't get a new car out of this." "It's absurd to wear a pin, like that means anything. But that's the demand." "We've never pretended we're anything but radical black women. So let's be radical black women." (All paraphrased quotes).
Is this white guilt stuff a social change that's going to be commonplace in a few decades? I dunno how far the wind is going to blow, I hope I don't live in a world where I'm demonized for the colour of my skin.

The concept of white guilt is asinine racism in disguise and I'm not going to feel bad for having a different level of melanin in my skin
I'm not going to give black people bigger tips just because they have more melanin than me. instead I'm going to not give a fuck what color they are and treat them like normal people rather than go "Oh gosh your ancestors were slaves here have 100$ a month"
if you want racism to go away then guilting white people into giving you money isn't going to help
I don't know what its like to deal with racism, but I'm not going to be tricked into wasting hundreds a year either.

Woah there mister, you made a perfectly rational reply that makes sense.
But you are still racist/ignorant in these people's eyes. Better buy a subscription box./s
I'm like...40% white. Can I get a discount???
There's nothing wrong with education and taking more of an initiative with your activism and awareness but man are people eager to capitalize on anything these days. You shouldn't have to and don't have to put forward $100 a month to educate yourself.

the sad thing is, this isn't even educating people about black problems, its just straight up "give black people more money"

I don't know all that much about the contents of each box from the short video but it seems like these guys are more of sleazy businessmen than actual activists trying to make a positive change.
You can still actively work towards and support social justice and civil rights without submitting yourself to slacktivism and white guilt.

I've always wondered if I would feel differently about this issue if there was any possibility that my ancestors were slave owners, but I know they weren't. My ancestors came to America in the late 19th/early 20th century from central Europe, owned a bar in the home country until someone burned it down, then came here to work construction. They've always been working-class people.
I'm basically as far from guilt as can be, and I guess I don't need to point out for the millionth time how silly it is to expect one member of a race to answer for all members of that race.
Fucking capitalism...
Haven't they caught on that the safety pin was a 4chan trick?
what a smart business move

i thought they just picked up on and planned to abuse it by tricking people into thinking they were "safe person" and would talk them, so they could then be a cunt to them?

As far as I know it's the same sort of thing as #pissforequality or cutting for bieber.
Wearing a safety pin means you are actively looking for gay safe sex.
maybe "white guilt" is a new slang for cocaine and that's what is in the box.

The pendulum swings.. It's time for the white folk to pay penance for the prior pain they imposed.

I've got Vitiligo, so patches of my skin are turning even more white. Do i have to pay extra?
[Editline]fisjvjs[/editline]
It's actually pretty hilarious, one percent or less of the world population has vitiligo, so while being white, i'm also a super minority AND have been descriminated against for my skin.
The line between reality and satire blurs every day.
