The Death of White Guilt

By Tom Adkins (Philadephia Inquirer)

Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath. Not me. I'm virtually euphoric. Don't get me wrong. I'm not thrilled with America 's flirtation with neo socialism. But there's a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barak Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over.

This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn't give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barak Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.

For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barak Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.

So today, I'm feeling a little "uppity," if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it's time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright's "God Damn America ," Al Sharpton's Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson's rainbow racism. Cornell West? You're a fraud. Go home. All those "black studies" programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey. And I want that on the final.

Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I'm waiting.

Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please…no more ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah…pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.

To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I'm still waiting for the first black French President.

And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I've always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You're poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin' butt on the couch and complain "Da Man is keepin' me down," allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.

No more quotas No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone's great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.

It's time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful…don't trip on streaking. There ya go, don't be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It's filthy.

In fact, Obama's ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O'Henry tale, Obama's spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it's own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama's election has validated American conservatism!

So, listen carefully…Wham!!!
That's the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.

However, despite my glee, there's apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barak Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn't that be 50-50?

:histerica :thumbup


You know they're not going to see it that way though; there will never be enough America can do to clean us of our guilt.

Hmmmmmmm, now lets see how many people here agree with this......

I agree with just about every single word in that article.

I haven't been in the forums lately but.....where are those little coward pricks from michigan who worshipped obama because they THOUGHT he was gonna end the war (like he really could) so their little chicken asses wouldn't have to go to war. Where are ya'll chicken shit bastards? Did someone put a rope round their neck? Someone should. And I hope and pray to God that "THE BIG THREE" go down the drain. I want it. BRING IT ON. It's time the unions learn once-in-for-all that they dont run business and neither does government but that big money does.

i feel absolutely no guilt. i have never had a slave and their are not black people that have been slaves still alive..... not to mention certain advantages to being a minority

I know I've mentioned it before, but Wanda Sykes said it first: "If Obama wins, we won't have an excuse anymore." :rofl: I think it'll lessen tensions with a lot of people, but for others it may make it worse. It's going to depend upon how the next year or two go, or at least how they're perceived.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but thought this was an interesting quote from the senior Democrat Senator.

I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
-Sen Robert Byrd

WHoa, wait a minute here.

The fact is that only about 65% of the eligible voters turned out to vote. That is many, many, millions of people who did not vote. And the minorities came out in force of course, with a higher than usual turnout, so the ratio of minorities to white voters is far from the norm. Add to this the fact that so many of those minority groups voted overwhelmingly for Obama, and the per capita representation of the remaining white voters is still heavily towards McCain. Considering that the percentage of white eligible voters is barely 75% in the US today, this can lead us to only one conclusion...


Don't Worry, You're Still Plenty Racist America! :tinfoil :rebelflag :thumbup









(Joke BTW :lolup)

Don't worry, there are still people that believe in a Flat Earth and the moon landing hoax, too. ;)

Fine n dandy. I have learned to go with my gut instinct on political matters from now on. When my gut was telling me the country was turning more liberal, my elders were telling me it was turning more conservative. I ceded to them because they've been around longer and I figured their political wisdom had more backing. Well, Democrats took congress in 2006 just as I feared. Step one. I knew Obama was going to win the election, and I had been saying it all year. But, my elders, my family members, Rush Limbaugh, Jason Lewis, Sean Hannity, were all saying Obama was "unelectable" and that he didn't stand a chance of winning unless he was up in the double digits in all the polls. Well toward election day the polls narrowed well into the single digits... but I still knew Obama was going to win. I knew Hagan was going to beat Dole in the senate race, and much to my dismay I knew Bev Perdue was going to beat Pat McCrory for the governor's mansion. I was greatly outnumbered by my peers and elders, who thought the election wouldn't turn out the way it did. I was saddened by the results, but not in the least bit surprised.

Now these same people who said Obama couldn't win and that the country is actually becoming more conservative are coming forward with their messages on how he can't possibly win again and how the Republican party will make a comeback and sweep congress like they did in 1994. Well my gut tells me no. The Republicans are going to be out of power for a long, long time. Probably decades. My gut tells me I am going to spend the rest of my adult life in a left-liberal bastion formerly known as the United States of America. I wish it wasn't that way, but I think I am right. Historically my gut instinct has beaten the pundits, and based on the path that socialist nations throughout history have taken, I don't see us giving it up anytime soon.

Once it starts, it can not be stopped. Once you lose it, you can not get it back.

Y'all may remember that line being touted four or five times a day over the past year. That's still my message and I'm stickin' to it.

White guilt may be dead, but a new, unstoppable wave of change for the worse is just beginning in these United States. God speed, all.

We will see how many seats they retain if we are attacted again. If/when it happens I think you will see a large reserection of the repoblican party. And as far as white gilt.....never had it never will. I agree 100% with the article.

Do you have anything to base that on other than wishful thinking? I don't need to wait for the attack, because I already know what the libs will say. I know what they'll say because they're already saying it, and have been for some time now. They are going to say that the reason we were attacked is because Bush went into Iraq, despite them having nothing to with 9/11. They will explain that this further inflamed the terrorists, and directly incited the new attack. Of course this is horse shit, but that is going to be the liberal line, take it to the bank. The liberal masses have already largely accepted it as an article of faith. That combined with the way the media will go over board to sell it...so no, new attacks on our country will probably only serve to cement Obama's position. Yeah, it's gonna suck.

Right there with ya.:beer:rockon:thumbup

this is "horseshit" why, simply because you say it is? or merely because your philosophies and everything the republican party has stood for was soundly rejected in the last election? there are a lot of very intelligent people whose sole business it is to analyze the iraq situation who would have quite alot to say about your claim of horseshit. are you prepared to back that up?

i'm curious, because i don't think i've read anything you've posted before on the subject. are you saying going into iraq was directly related to 9/11? are you saying there were no new terrorists created as a result of going into iraq? are you saying any of the existing terrorists weren't further emboldened with a new and increased hatred of this country after that invasion? are you saying we did not create a whole new breed of terrorists by going into iraq? :popc1:

i also find it highly amusing that you imply criticism of the other poster for not basing his statement on anything other than wishful thinking, then go ahead and make this kind of statement with a completely unsupported claim of "horse shit."

and once again, alot of back slapping and "rah rah's" from the peanut gallery.

as far as the article itself goes, what is going to happen is there is still going to be an effort to support the notion of white guilt.

what obama is going to be referred to as is the "token" black president, and the like. certain people will still claim he's a puppet of white america and that nothing has really changed for people of color.

just a guess but i can easily see the argument being made.

I will interject with a "rah rah".

As I understood his post, he is saying
1) The dems will blame any problem's with terrorism on Bush.
2) That is a false claim as the terrorists have been attacking us with various levels of success since the 1960's
3) The American people will believe it anyway because our media has abandoned any pretense of objectivity or concern for the truth.


RAH RAH RAH, SIS BOOM BAH!

You already got part of that from me. I think he is, in a sense, America's first affirmative action President - that a lot of people voted for him without really knowing a thing about him other than he was the young, well spoken black guy.

As for "puppet" of White America, I'm not ready to make that assertion; however, I'm not sure he's ready to stand on his own two feet alone either. His career has been one of taking the path of least resistance with the least amount of risk; I've seen no evidence of "Leadership" qualities from him.

I rather suspect that he is a "true believer" of the far left (black and white, domestic and international), who's focus will be to will do what he can to advance their causes. I don't believe that he will be a centrist flag-waving leader unless he is forced to be.
