Short video included. People are shaming white people for their skin color due to what white people did hundreds of years ago. What do you think about it? Is it something related to equality or just society shame like colourism?

I think most white people have only two options: (1) be ashamed of what other white people "did" in the past, or (2) avoid personal blame for what other white people "did" in the past. Neither of these options give white people the option of being PROUD of what their people did in the past. There should be four options, including: (2) be proud of what other white people did in the past, or (2) avoid personal responsibility for what other white people did.
White people are arguably the most successful people in history. No other people came close to our advancement of the sciences, technology, and military- not to mention the things we've built. We defeated and conquered other people, who were every bit as inclined for conquest as we are, but WE WON- why can't we take pride in that? We are the descendants of the most powerful race- we conquered the world, and even left the world to put our mark on the moon.
Going back to the first statement- history is described in strictly Leftist/ Liberal terms, where white people did bad, which makes taking pride in it impossible.

Me as a Mexican-Chicano:there's good & bad in everything..
Look what the "Ghetto Thrash" did, too. Giving the Welfare a Bad name/low Dept. stores, t' affect their own kind.(I wish God did more, than just fold'is arms)
Let me put it this way... Disney is losing billions for being stupid enough to shame innocent people for something they didn't do.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/SAzGObgdz1II don't have an ounce of guilt for slavery, because I wasn't part of it. I understand that there are an abundance of stupid people out their that want to keep racism alive and well, I just never thought Disney would be part of that. People are cancelling their Disney+ subscriptions because of this moronic video, and Disney and their stock holders deserve to lose.
Morgan Freeman is a genius. I just wish people could figure that out. But I think they know, but are just exploiting racism for personal gain.

I don’t think the purpose is to necessarily shame anyone but rather to acknowledge and teach our history fairly. This country has had a horrible record on race throughout its history and that still hasn’t been fully reckoned with. There is still a certain amount of institutional racism today. You move forward by learning the mistakes of the past. Unfortunately, there are people who desire to sanitize and whitewash that past.

I've never experienced that or viewed it that way. It's simply an acknowledgement and it's not for what people did hundreds of years ago. Or at least not just that. It's for what they continue to do. There are people still alive today who personally knew family members who were slaves. It wasn't that long ago. My own grandma was in an internment camp during WW2. Apartheid didn't end until 1964. The KKK is still active today and a former president had dinner with their leader a few weeks ago. Police disproportionately target minorities today. History books have been altered or discarded and literature from/for minorities are currently banned in the state of Florida.
It isn't a "hundreds of years ago" issue. It's a "still currently happening" issue. White people aren't being shamed for what their ancestors did. They're being asked to acknowledge what happened and to quit continuing to do it. And before anyone says to their self, "I never have!" Or "Most people don't!" Yes you have and yes they do. At the very least, you happily benefit from it while doing absolutely nothing to change it or even so much as acknowledge it. Which is equally as bad.Well "White" people should not be shamed for what occurred hundreds of years ago. Or even for the dumb stupid racist crap anonymous trolls who claim to be "White", post on the Internet.
By the way, there is no way to load your tweet, so figure out how the Internet works.
So the problem is that racist trolls want it both ways. They want to blame all "Black" folk for crimes, that are committed by other "Black" people.
They want to blame all Asians for issues with China.
They want to blame all Latinos for issues with illegal immigration.
They really think that racism can and should be controlled as a way to keep non-"Whites" in line. But once racism is out of the bag, it destroys everything. Because it is not based on logic, on fact, or common sense.
What we do know is Indigenous people, aka Indians warred with each other. They did. It's kind of the same thing we did upon them. Black people in Africa also were slave merchants. White people did not show up in Africa and offer them sandwiches to enter their ships. Blacks in Africa sold them to whites. At the same time, it's so weird? Why? Because we use animals to be slaves. Why is it okay to use oxen, horses, cows, etc. to do things we can't do. I argue that human slavery isn't right. But shouldn't it be right?
My opinion on this is well informed, personally related and unwelcome by every race and ethnicity. In 2023, I will knock out anyone who calls me a racist without proof. Because its rude.
Im racist, look at who just called me racist, your a saint? We all are going to end up on the Vaticans doorstep sooner or later, getting what we are all due.
Racism isn't shit, focus on classism. Then you will see, our enemy is common.
Told you, my opinion is not welcome. The truth seldom is. And I get where you are at, Id be pissed too.Society is shaming white people? Huh? Depending on where you live, "society" IS WHITE PEOPLE !! LOL. I'm white but I feel no personal shame for what George Washington did. He was a fucktard. I feel sad that so many people don't KNOW the things he did, and sad that history books portray him as some wonderful dude. I feel sad that the US government, which was run by white men, did all kinds of horrible shit.
But what I'm MOST said about, is often it gets repeated today - by white people, or any color. If I'm ashamed of anything, it's not just white people, it's human stupidity as a whole.
its a giant farce to cover up black failure caused inherent differences in races
It was northern whites who freed the salves that were sold by blacks.
Every once safe and prosperous white town turned into a dirty dangerous war zone once diversity moved in. The people who bought homes and built a life there that was ruined should be compensated for the impact to their lives caused by the government facilitating this.
Interracial crime is over 80% black on white - Whites need to be compensated
Interracial rape is 99% black on white. Where are the feminists?
Trillions have been spent on affirmative action, black only scholarships, and disproportionate levels of welfare per capita all while blacks have on average paid very little in taxes. Whites need to be compensated.
The persons of colour & white savours who are attacking white people for the assumed crimes of their ancestors should do some research and find out what really happened and is still going on today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NoWIZv96KUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWOlZeFhUzoit's stupid, it's pointless and, like those that want that money so badly, it's not gonna work!
Besides, in the first place, I should get that money first because my white ancestors were slaves a LONG time before them and FOR a much longer time than they were! Secondly,. if they want that money, they should get it from the very people that sold their ancestors into slavery: Africans!!Try to shame me in real life face to face and you will see flashing blue lights in your eyes. Only people I apologize to is my wife and family and to anyone one who I Personally have made a mistake with in understanding etc. But I will not be shamed for what happened that’s beyond my control. Like jb books said in the shootist -
“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”
I'm just going to live my life. If any racist moron decides to get in my face about how my race is the cause of all the world's problems, I'll just tell to go fuck themselves because that has nothing to do with me.
It's not my fault that those idiots are too stupid to figure out that race isn't the same thing as a hive mind.
"Society" huh? Well I think your "society" of communists satanists are on the losing end of a war. It's great. It provides daily amusement.
historically every race is guilty of some crime one way or another. they have been victims too but mostly at the hands of those of their own race.
The only people who seem to notice white shaming are the far right. I certainly don't feel people trying to shame me.
That was a long time ago. We understand what we did was wrong. Hence is why we went to war for it. And the north won.
well it's racist. but i also think: if you're not ashamed of who you are. then no ammount of shaming can fuck you up.
Just quit talking about it. We the people!
https://www.youtube.com/embed/GeixtYS-P3sPeople deserve what they put up with. That's all.
It is pathetic, childish and petty. The same with feminism
I can’t have a valid opinion on something that doesn’t exist
Seems crazy to me.
