So sick of this

[Zach]

I don't know the ethnic makeup of the Forum, but I know we all come from various places in the world.
What are your thoughts on this rubbish? I find it patently disgusting.

Race politics is disgusting and evil. I am sick of being demonized because the social policies of liberals have bred a generation of "me too!" oppressed "victims" and mentally challenged people who hate themselves for being white.

Lol, talk about irony! Zach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCy8MpT45gk

Not really sure what the intent behind your response is, but thanks for playing.

This video looks stupid.
If you dont want differences between human races than dont focus on the differences, focus on the commonalities.

Personaly, where i live most people dont care about skin colors.

Unfortunately, that is not how most "hunter-gatherer" brains work.
We perceive contrasts much more quickly.
Scan the field of sheep and we find the fox very very quickly!
- Unless you are fangles and several others here who might dwell on the sheep

Exactly thats why campaings should not focus on differences. We dont need a campain to tell us that there are differences. People just need to get that this differences are only cosmetic and are unimportant. This campain is telling us there are differences and that this differences are unfair, which is just wrong. What is unfair is if someone is judging someone just because of his race. It's not unfair at all to be a specific race.

Yes, this is why Zach started the post.
I agree, the advertisement is both whining and apologetic, depending on your race!
Not the most joyous message.

We cannot change who we are, only what we do.

He means the video you posted has nothing to do with White Supremacy... if that's what you thought it was?

[Zach]

I really don't understand how he could extrapolate that I thought the video was about "white supremacy" tbh. The rest of you seemed to understand what my issue with the video was, though.

I'm sick of people trying to guilt me because I was born white.
I didn't put anyone in chains or beat them with a whip, and plenty of "whites/europeans" have been the subject of prejudice in American history as well.

I will consider this video to have merit when someone swoops by my house with a multimillion dollar check, a statement of immunity from any past and all future crimes (and I was no stranger to law enforcement as a teenager), and I never have to work another day in my life with my new-found wealth.

Otherwise I'm just another high school dropout with a GED, a hand-me down car, and living at home because I make $1,000 or less in a given month and have no insurance.


White Privilege my ass........

The video is about the notion of White Supremacy. And therefore the peeps in the vid (and yourself, from your post directly above) don't like being judged as that.

[skywalk]

No, not supremacy. The video clearly mentions many times 'privileged'.
But even this is wrong.
The truly privileged are those born brilliant, beautiful, gifted athletically, possessing the voice of an angel, or yes, even millionaires' children.
Regardless of race, they have an advantage.
The rest of us must work harder to achieve our goals.
The sooner one understands this, the whining can stop, and life's journey can begin.

As for the most privileged species, clearly my 2 dogs are at the front.

Yes but the poster mentioned "irony", as if not liking the video somehow makes me guilty of something.
