1. right click, copy link, forward to children. He described my kids to a T. Including the tae kwon do reference.
   Take back your culture folks.

2. I get rid of mine when I sign my tax return. And when I ponder my military service.

3. I have Work Boot Privilege.

4. Much of identity politics seems premised on the idea that guilt can be handed down through the generations, and even transferred between people of known relation but having the same identity. It’s like people of the same race or gender are a giant gestalt, with no allowance for individuality.

   In past years, we used to call such beliefs bigotry. Now it’s called critical studies.

   1. Killer, I feel no guilt even about those things I should feel guilty about. Guilt for a rational sane person is something to be put aside when one atones for one’s transgressions. As Christ said, “go and sin no more”. I hope those five words are not to difficult to understand.

      1. I thought the word “forth” was in there.

         And no, that doesn’t mean “go and sin no more than the forth time for each of the deadly sins”.

         1. Romans 6

            Well then, shall we keep on sinning so that God can keep on showing us more and more kindness and forgiveness?

            2-3 Of course not! Should we keep on sinning when we don’t have to? For sin’s power over us was broken when we became Christians and were baptized to become a part of Jesus Christ; through his death the power of your sinful nature was shattered. 4 Your old sin-loving nature was buried with him by baptism when he died; and when God the Father, with glorious power, brought him back to life again, you were given his wonderful new life to enjoy.

            5 For you have become a part of him, and so you died with him, so to speak, when he died;[a] and now you share his new life and shall rise as he did. 6 Your old evil desires were nailed to the cross with him; that part of you that loves to sin was crushed and fatally wounded, so that your sin-loving body is no longer under sin’s control, no longer needs to be a slave to sin; 7 for when you are deadened to sin you are freed from all its allure and its power over you. 8 And since your old sin-loving nature “died” with Christ, we know that you will share his new life. 9 Christ rose from the dead and will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. 10 He died once for all to end sin’s power, but now he lives forever in unbroken fellowship with God. 11 So look upon your old sin nature as dead and unresponsive to sin, and instead be alive to God, alert to him, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

            12 Do not let sin control your puny body any longer; do not give in to its sinful desires. 13 Do not let any part of your bodies become tools of wickedness, to be used for sinning; but give yourselves completely to God—every part of you—for you are back from death and you want to be tools in the hands of God, to be used for his good purposes. 14 Sin need never again be your master,[b] for now you are no longer tied to the law where sin enslaves you, but you are free under God’s favor and mercy.

            Sorry … I’m not a proselytizer … But the text in Romans 6, makes it clear that we should not keep sinning … and hope God’s Grace and Jesus’s forgiveness will give us Carte’ Blanche to keep indulging in sin. Yes … go forth and sin no more … is what Paul reminds us.

            The ONLY one I direct my guilt toward is Christ. No man is without guilt and no man is able to fully forgive me. Nope. Mankind (today) will simply CANCEL me.

            1. The One worth kneeling for.

               But you’re taking all of the fun out of it.

5. Since I was not raised in White Privilege as described here, the whole White Guilt thing has always puzzled me. Now I think I get it. I have been subjected to the same kind of White Guilt myself, being the child of a blue collar family and running on scholarships even though I am White too. (Technically White, I am rather dark in colour, easily mistaken for Metis.) I recall being bewildered in college when people said things like “It’s amazing how well you’ve done considering your background.”

   1. How could you be mistaken for Metis. Your name is not Mackenzie and you are not Francophone 🙂 Sorry, couldn`t resist.

      1. LOL! yes, when I have just my eyes uncovered at -40C I am often mistaken for an Indigenous person. I have the epicanthal fold and swarthy skin compliments of some Ukranian ancestor conquered by Ghengis Khan.

6. Well, as a very old white guy, I don’t give a shit. I guess it is now time to change to “a very old white guy” who doesn’t give a shit. People who hate themselves need more than a shrink.

7. Well said.

8. OK

9. Don’t let your babies grow up to be College Students. Better a cowboy than a “human resources specialist” or similar.

10. Bill Whittle said it best (paraphrasing from memory) “white privilege means having none else but yourself to blame for your own mistakes”.

    1. +1. He’s become one of my favourites for deep dives on cultural items from the US.

11. He has some good, and some sarcastic points, but these problems are much deeper than his theory.
    Even if he was 100% right, he still needs to get blacks to accept his answers, which I doubt would happen, because years of convincing diatribe from race hustlers like Sharpton would have penetrated so deep, the only way of solving such issues now, would be to remove the babies in their infancy, and raise them to think for themselves, and educate them, and keep then devoid of the Sharpton business model, and that would be racist in and of itself, so that won’t happen either. In such respect, the die is cast and permanent. There was something I caught a few days ago, about a group of wealthy blacks buying a 90 acre plot of land to build a black only city.

    That used to be called segregation and bad when I was younger, but what do I know. It will be interesting to see that experiment play out. I think they will eventually realize that we need each other interacting for commerce and technology, and other reasons. Somebody should tell them that the only way they will succeed is to get educated, and forge your own path. When they have been convinced the world is against them all their lives, how can they shake such negative ideas off. I’m beginning to believe the only way out for them is to notice the success of those blacks such as Candace Owens, Connie Rice, and
    a number of other notable blacks that have become successful. Of course those guys are mostly conservative, so it requires a radical shift in their thinking. It will take a long time, but at least such a process is beginning.

12. Ok, I admit my white guilt This morning I made my toast with white bread instead of brown. May I burn in racial hell for this indiscretion.
