Best part is when people get yelled at about this shit or whatever and their ancestors didn't have anything to do with slavery or anything like that.
As much as I find the $25 clear-your-conscience-without-doing-anything-productive box repugnant, the interviewer constantly trying to put statements in his interviewees' mouths is just as irritating. "So, this is the black woman you invite into your house, every month" I know it's Vice and HBO but try to have a smidge of objectivity, dude.
[QUOTE=Duck M.;51697624] Is this actually the sort of stuff you watch[/QUOTE] Pssssssssssssssh, maybe. Though my feed is a honest mess with this guy, TYT, Dave Rubin, and Pewdiepie all on one line of suggested videos. I highly recommend you watch some more of this guy. Especially the video that visually grabs your attention like a ADHD-inspired fishing lure.

What if I tan my skin, I can get get pretty dark. On good tannings, I can get like 60% blackage. Will they consider me only 40% white? Will I get a discount of 60% for buying this thing? Will eating this box turn me 100% black?

[QUOTE=matt000024;51698191]I have Jewish ancestors so they were enslaved by Africans for hundreds of years.[/QUOTE] Hell I'm Welsh, the English and even America had quite a few Welsh slaves back in the day, as well as the fact they tried to completely eradicate our culture and language. But do I whine or try to make out that the English today deserve to pay for what they did to my ancestors, or at the very least have a guilt over them that they have to pay for? Fuck no, they didn't do shit.

This whole thing reminds me of how British people such as I are always told that we should feel ashamed because of our colonial history, despite it not being our fault. I'm not a far - right winger, I just don't want to feel upset over something that's not my fault.

[QUOTE=Waffle Lord;51697562]I'm like...40% white. Can I get a discount???[/QUOTE] Yes you pay 60% more.
This is absolutely hilarious! What a riot! Boy these people will feel ripped off once they realize white guilt doesn't exist.

So should white guilt affect everyone who is white or just white americans? I don't feel guilty but but maybe I'm supposed to.
Being a white cisgendered male in America, not a day goes by that I don't stop and think about the torments of the minorities around me. I see it all the time. One time, I saw a minority waiting for the bus. He looked like he may have needed some help. I checked my privilege before approaching them, to ask how their day was and if they need any assistance, a ride to their destination maybe, or perhaps some extra money for the bus ride. Before I even got 10 meters from the poor unprivileged soul, I was surrounded by a militia of minorities; blacks, asians, mexicans, native americans, and some black swedish men. They whisked their minority friend away before I could even tell them "I'm not racist, but..." What can I do about this? I just want to wash the sins of my ancestors from my soul and release myself from the shackles of this white guilt. Every time I make sure to check my privilege but it doesn't work. When the minorities see me, they run away, fearful of what oppression I will force them into. Are you saying this box will help me with that?
[QUOTE=The Janitor;51705604]So should white guilt affect everyone who is white or just white americans?[/QUOTE] I've been told that I should probably feel guilty because of the possibility of one of my ancestors being involved in the slave trade. They didn't seem very happy when I started sniggering.
Can someone explain me how i am guilty for something, that someone else did. A long time ago.?
Shit, I don't feel any guilt and anyone who says I should can fuck off. My family were poor German Immigrants on my Mom's side from early 20th century, and my dad's side was an exceptionally poor, mix of Croatian/Irish families. No chance they reaped off slavery. My immediate family only got recently well off through hard work, and now my Dad pays for two scholarships for students with hardships at LMU. When in his youth he slept on couches in California and was a garbage man/bum Ski Instructor during the summer. Just have the quality of modesty and contribute back to your community. Don't buy a fucking box full of nothing but propaganda.
White guilt is complete imaginary bullshit, and no one needs any kind of 'qualification' to say that(i.e. [I]I'm white but my poor ancestors this & that...[/I]). I could be Hitler's great grand kid and still say the same thing and it will be equally true. The people that buy into it are just sad sheeple too dumb to realize that they are getting scammed. All the debts/misdeeds of those in the past died with them, that's just too hard to accept for some people
