Yeah..... it's a bit of an odd campaign (writing on people's faces? really?) but I think I may be of a different opinion. It seems to be more of a "check your privilege" sort of deal more than a "white people are guilty" type thing.  Not saying that white people are causing black people to fail or other things that some people seem to take from it. Rather just recognize that simply by being part of the dominant culture, people don't have to deal with the crap that minorities deal with. That's not to say "we need affirmative action", or "white people are holding black people down", etc, etc. Which I know I'm going to get a strawman for. Just that being in the majority has it's privileges.
Being white I never had to deal with racism in a serious way. Does that mean that the dominant group (white people in this instance) is always the "aggressor"? No. There are plenty of minorities that have racist feelings too. Being of the majority, it honestly doesn't bug me a whole lot though. I can literally walk into the 99% of stores/jobs/etc. that would welcome me with open arms. Some of the perks of being in the majority. No need to feel bad about being white for it, just recognize and appreciate that the cosmic roll of the dice landed you in with a large amount of other people (part of the majority).These types of campaigns do nothing but perpetuate the vicious cycle of victimization. There is nothing redeeming or healthy about this, and it hurts minorities more than anything. I don't necessarily view it as "victimizing" white people (though wtf is up about writing on people's faces), more of "just recognize you have some privilege". Nothing to feel bad about. From what I see written: "Lucky that people see us, not a color." "You don't see my color before you see my face. You don't judge me before you know me. You don't secretly hope that I stay out of your neighborhood." I do think that minorities have a "minority burden". Where they are judged as being "representatives" of their race/gender/orientation/etc. Something that being part of the majority is generally not expected of us. I've very rarely if ever had anybody judge me for being white before they get to know me as a person. If they did, I had a majority of people to turn to. I'm usually judged by who I am and not automatically as a "white greedy honky racist" by a majority of people (though I know there are people who do view me as those things automatically, I still have a majority to turn to). I'm not an automatic representative for all white people. It's just recognizing the privilege that you got, nothing to feel bad about. I don't agree with affirmative action and the like. See previous post. I was referring to the culture of victimization among minority groups - not 'victimizing' white people with my comments. Many young black folks have no idea what racism is, and this nonsense only reinforces negative stereotypes. This obsession with race is counter productive. |

For any of you that might be interested.
American Renaissance is a Pro-White group and they are having their annual conference this year near Nasvhille from April 5 - 7th http://www.amren.com/2013-ar-conference/ April 5 – 7, 2013, near Nashville, Tennessee The West faces many crises, but the greatest is the crisis of race. In virtually every Western country, the European majority is threatened with dispossession by non-white immigrants. Unless whites rekindle their consciousness of race and act in their own interests, they will be pushed aside by others. We are dedicated to a renewed sense of Western peoplehood. Join us for a stimulating weekend of education, fellowship—and recommitment to the ideals of Western Civilization. About Us - What We Believe Race is an important aspect of individual and group identity. Of all the fault lines that divide society—language, religion, class, ideology—it is the most prominent and divisive. Race and racial conflict are at the heart of some of the most serious challenges the Western World faces in the 21st century. The problems of race cannot be solved without adequate understanding. Attempts to gloss over the significance of race or even to deny its reality only make problems worse. Progress requires the study of all aspects of race, whether historical, cultural, or biological. This approach is known as race realism. |

What the fuck is wrong with some white people these days... the self loathing is unbelievable. Get over it, white people founded the greatest country on earth, white people discovered electricity, white people invented the automobile, white people walked on the moon, white people invented the first computer, white people... blah blah blah, if we made a list of good accomplishments of white people we'd need to fill the library of congress, why all the self loathing bullshit? These fucking people make me sick. Thank a teacher. Two generations of white kids have been taught to hate themselves. And self righteous teachers who taught them to hate themselves are living fat and easy on retirements we provide them. |

I've had a manager at work who was excited about a candidate for a job position after looking at his resume/portfolio come back after interviewing him and simply said "He's black." (he didn't get the job). I can name numerous instances in my life where I saw being a minority hurt somebody's chances, while being part of a majority helped. I'm sure if people were really honest, they would at least admit this. With affirmative action, I could see this as well "in reverse" (which is why I'm against it). |

If you want a job with fair pay then quit complaining and do something with your life. Quit being a victim - you will never amount to anything as long as you are the victim. No one has done anything to you, get over it. There are plenty of white people who are losers too. Start talking and speaking correctly and start acting and dressing like a human instead of an animal. Start showing respect for others and yourself. Start thinking for yourself instead of following the masses who are just as dumb as you are. The government doesn't care about you and you don't need them. Once you realize that, you can succeed.
Oh, and tell your father he is a piece of crap for not raising you - there is your real problem. Until you leave the culture where is is cool to be stupid, get free stuff from the government, and to be a criminal you will fail. |

Little do they know that, indeed...the system WAS "set up" for us...us meaning hard working people. Odd that the capitalistic system doesn't do well for lazying welfare leeches.
Sadest part is, with the current system...the system IS "gamed" for them. The worst possible thing you can be right now in America is a middle class white male if you want a fair chance at a career. These people make me sick. Go on over to WorldStarHipHop if you want a look at the Black culture or way of life.

Sorry, but you sound very sheltered and naive to me. Bias exists across the board. Every group or race has its own prejudices. I never said that minorities can't be racist or biased, I've expressed this numerous times in what I've typed out. If I lived in Pakistan/Uganda/Congo as the only white guy, I doubt that I would have any of the white privilege from being a majority. Being "sparred some looks" may be all that is shown sometimes but obviously it can easily go deeper than that. I've had a manager who was excited about a candidate after looking at his resume/portfolio come back after interviewing him and simply say "He's black." (he didn't get the job). Just a tame example. I'm sure that there are numerous instances of racism that people have experienced/seen in their lives (blacks being racist against white and vis-versa, from simple bias to violence) For one thing the white "trailer trash" in America/Western world has the privilege that he can dress in second hand clothes without having people attribute these choices to the bad morals, the poverty or the illiteracy of his race. White people as a whole aren't judged as stupid just because the one person may be. If you're a minority, you're an automatic representative for your people to the majority. If you're in the majority, you're an individual. A perk of being in the majority. I'll repeat myself here but, I haven't heard anybody say that the person is poor/stupid/etc. because he's white (though I'm sure there are some that say this, which is wrong), I've heard it about blacks and similarly of other minorities quite a few times though. Bias exists across the board. Every group or race has its own prejudices and privileges.
Yup. I never said that minorities can't be racist or biased. If I lived in Pakistan/Congo/etc. as the only white guy (hypothetically) I doubt that I would have any of the privilege. Maybe it should just be called "majority privilege". Of course I'm thinking majority/minority more in terms of the area one inhabits, not so much as one business where one may be a minority (still wrong to be a jerk to them), but at the same time that person still has the "majority privilege" to leave the club/etc. and be part of the majority again. |

The President of the United States of America is a black man, granted he's light skinned, but he sure doesn't pass for Caucasian. The President. When does this bullshit end?

Quoted: "We're are lucky car doors are not locked when we walk by" The last person I saw who made me make sure my car doors were locked was a white guy with sagging pants, a XXXL shirt, and neck tattoos. My doors lock when I shift into gear.  |

Quoted: Quoted: I think the quote unquote "victim mentality" comes when a person/group views persecution/bias when there's none. I'm sorry but racism/prejudice still does exist. It won't go away if you don't look at it. Yes, it can be called when there is none (which obviously doesn't help), but that doesn't negate that people still view some races negatively and other's positively. If you're lucky enough to be part of the "positive view" group, consider yourself lucky. Of course wallowing in a "I'm a victim" status isn't helpful, neither is feigning ignorance as to a majority's privileged social status. I've had a manager at work who was excited about a candidate for a job position after looking at his resume/portfolio come back after interviewing him and simply said "He's black." (he didn't get the job). I can name numerous instances in my life where I saw being a minority hurt somebody's chances, while being part of a majority helped. I'm sure if people were really honest, they would at least admit this. With affirmative action, I could see this as well "in reverse" (which is why I'm against it). Oversensitivity to race divides us, and is accelerating the divide. And the race pimps out there WANT it that way. |

If they want to be fair get rid of the quota system giving minorities passage into various opportunities based solely on the fact the are a minority, go by grades and achievements instead. If you do have a quota system give the same opportunities to whites when they are the minority in the community. This system has been unfair to whites, there are plenty of white people that come from poor families with little opportunity.

I attend UW-Superior, no idea where the Superior-Duluth thing came from but whatever.
I haven't heard anything about this nonsense for about a year. Thank goodness I am a Math major and try to make an effort to stay as far away from the social science department as possible. Rest assured though after seeing this kind of BS for a few years at UWS, I am about ready to push back. If conservatives or libertarians were in control of one of these Universities, I would bet that tuition could be slashed in half by not funding unnecessary things like this
