I'm Taking A Break From Feeling Shame For Being White This Weekend

You are over-generalizing my example. It needn't necessarily be punishment inflicted by other people, but any kind of unfavorable outcome. I don't smoke, for example, not because there is any law against smoking, but because I don't want to increase my chances of developing lung cancer five-fold, among other health risks.

Now we come to the question of short-term gain versus long-term good. With groups of people who violate the Golden Rule, we can usually follow the money and/or follow the political power that they hope to gain, or in fact [i]do[/i] gain. And this is just as true of far-left ideologues as it is of Nazis.

@Thinkerbell I asked you

[quote]How is a person going to do that?[/quote]

And you answered with one specific example 😅
So you didn't even answer the question then 😅

This part is just cray cray

Wrong. You have forgotten everything I said before and after my "one" example. There were two specific examples and two general statements relevant to "how is a person going to do that".

"...of course an intelligent person should be able to think one step beyond what his socialization (indoctrination?) might be telling him."

"For example, putting your knee on someone's neck until he dies is likely to get you in a lot of trouble. Even a dyed-in-the-wool racist should understand that, don't you think?"

"It needn't necessarily be punishment inflicted by other people, but any kind of unfavorable outcome."

"I don't smoke, for example, not because there is any law against smoking, but because I don't want to increase my chances of developing lung cancer five-fold, among other health risks."

Do you often have lapses like this? Perhaps you should see a neurologist.

@Budwick Plenty Scots as well, not to mention Welsh, Irish and English.

@Budwick More than 50% of the troops that landed on D Day were not American obviously including Canadians🙂

@Budwick Three of my uncles went in on Juno Beach on D Day. They all survived the attack without a scratch. They fought their way 20 miles into Normandy before they realized the Americans and Brits were still on the beach. They turned around and got back to where the Brits and Americans had finally gained foot hold.

@revenant only whites with in inferiority complex feel that😆

@revenant Me either.

@JBird well said

@Burnley123 Do you feel shame because from this angle you look like the south end of a northbound horse.

@Burnley123 That's the spirit

I felt it! 🤭 @Budwick

@DukeOfEarle I know! Me too!
It was sort of like that one day when my Mom had me wearing corduroys to school. I was 14. On the morning school bus ride, the ride was kind of ... jiggly. It felt kinda funny,... down there.

Same thing today~!

A certain “fizzy” sensation that made your heart go thumpity thump thump-thump? Yes. There are some very endearing people here that make me feel that same warm and fuzzy feeling too. 😂 @Budwick

@Budwick why does talking about social issues make you uncomfortable? Racism is a serious issue and if you cared about your black friends you would care. How would you feel if your black friend that you care about was killed due to some police officer unnecessarily taking their life?

I used to think racism wasn’t that common. Until I learned that every black friend I have has dealt with plenty of unnecessary racism throughout their life.

@MorbidCynic [quote] why does talking about social issues make you uncomfortable?[/quote]

Social issues don't make me feel uncomfortable.
This post is about D-Day.

When you go to a birthday party, is your topic of discussion racism?
How about when attending a funeral, or wedding, or shopping.

Did you know Breonna?
Or, is she someone you just heard about?

The friends I mentioned earlier are people I actually know, arrange to meet occasionally, spend time with, know their families. So, please take your racial social issues and stuff 'em where the Sun don't shine.

@Budwick No, but it can be a topic in every day conversation.

Smoke a good blunt and talk to your friends about current events.

You don’t have to know a person to feel empathy towards them.

Well I see my friends daily too lmao hell, my self proclaimed godparents are black 😂 it’s not like these people are some shmucks I met online. Some I knew since I was a little kid.

@Harriet03 That's your tribute to D-Day?

@Budwick You couldn't even tribute something as important & treasured as D-Day, without spoiling it with your bullshit spin.
Shame on you!!
Disgraceful.

@Harriet03 👍️

@eli1601 💋

@RedtheEmerald Right back at you snowflake.

Gotemmm!@hippyjoe1955

Anyone that tries to shame you for the color of your skin is racist. @dommagic

@Burnley123 Some, in segregated units.

If you want to use this as a symbol for pulling the country together:

[quote]The whole country pulled together.[/quote]

it just means you have no idea what you are talking about.
I guess... He tried. 🤷‍♂️

It's also why the last A of MAGA, is so ridiculously cheap.

@PrivateHell This stupidity seems self-imposed. I don’t feel remotely bad about my pale complexion - and nobody expects me to either.

@QuixoticSoul I don't feel bad about mine either. The stupidity I am referring to is all the people on both sides acting as though they hold exclusive rights to the truth, and sitting in judgment of others without even bothering to hear a word being said. But as I just posted elsewhere, I'm done with it.

@SW-User

They left out the best part of that clip: When Pluskat is asked by his superior in what direction the ships are coming, he yells, "Auf mich zu! DIREKT!!" At me! DIRECTLY!!  🤭

@Gasouth Thanks for giving the best you have to offer.

@QuixoticSoul [quote]Ironic how those most proud to be white are always the most worthless examples of it [/quote]

This comment is worthy of its own post.

It’s rather weird that honoring D-Day vets would be used as a way to complain about folks who would like an equal share of the freedoms that were defended that day.

@JoeyFoxx [quote]folks who would like an equal share of the freedoms[/quote]

Seems to me the rioters and looters were looking for MORE than their fair share.

Despite all the whining, everyone has equal freedoms - although I am told I should be ashamed of my race. [I don't get that either.]

@Budwick I never mentioned the rioters and the looters.

My wife participated in an event recently. I’ve been working on connecting with local politicians.

I’ve already described to you stories about what my friends and colleagues of color have had to endure that prevent them from having access to freedoms in the same way you and I do.

In actuality, you spend far more time whining on SW than most other people I’ve witnessed. It’s ironic.
