Why has it become a sin to be white?

I don't think skin color should be a factor in how we view people. It should be by their actions and how they carry themselves.

But why does being white totally discredit your opinion on any controversial matter nowadays? It really makes no sense that any white person who disagrees with a "liberal" idea gets deemed a racist immediately. Where is the logic in that?

  • Generally, White people seem to have the advantages, but it's simply not the case when you examine all the poor whites. White people make up a huge majority, and the minorities have less as a percentage. They assume you are wealthy and privileged which isn't really fair. My wife is black, grew up poor, but has made an amazing life for herself because her family is strong and supportive. She has always been a top student and now owns 2 successful businesses that she built from scratch. Hard work. Shows you how anyone can succeed here. People want to generalize, though, and not treat every person or situation individually. That is the problem in today's instant info world.

    because the straight white male dominated patriarchy system is out to get any one who doesn't fit that criteria. They are opressed just by being those things. We simply wouldn't understand what it's like the be a 5 year old trapped in an adults body.

    You are delusional. There is no such social sin. The sin lies in being white and denying that racism exists.

    I don't think people discount your opinion because you're white, it think it may be more to do with you being delusional.

    People should just accept that they are Americans. No matter the race, that won't change.

    it's certainly not logic -- its the rhetoric, the polemics, the propaganda of class struggle.

    this dissension is often what comes from "multi-culturalism."

    take the former yugoslavia as an extreme example of m.c.

    it had very many disparate groups that the authorities tried for decades to meld into a cohesive nation and failed horribly.

    it was only the dictator Tito who could keep a lid on the groups competing for power, aka, privilege.

    when he died in 1980 those groups plunged yugo into bloody, genocidal wars.

    it took nato's bombings and partitioning to bring fragile peace there.

    "balkaniztion" become the term for this divisive accumulating of disparate, incompatible groups.

    attempting to impose multi culturalism is high risk, low benefit.

    that attempt accounts for most of the dissension in europe now thats feeding the fast rise of the populists, right, and so-called "far" right,

    and the Exits from the Euro Union like UK did,

    and Italy is favoring.

    it was glaringly wrongheaded to invite millions of 3rd and 4th world ppl, many of whom are islamists, into 1st world euro,

    "bordering on insanity" proclaimed Hungary's PM, viktor orban :

    So now that these various groups in the US have achieved a certain number, like illegal mestizos @ maybe 15,000,000,

    they think they can pressure other groups, the anglos, into giving up power, aka, privilege.

    it's not a "privilege-check," its an attempt at a transfer of power, from the anglos to other groups.

    and what happens to groups w/o sufficient power?

    look at the blacks in the US during the Jim Crow era,

    or the jews in europe, 1920 - 1945.

    so maintain your privilege and use it justly, no Jim Crow.

    civilization is in desperate shape, we're well into the Final Dark Age,

    we see the worst of it in the 3rd & 4th worlds -- millions enveloped in wars, starvation & disease.

    of course they'r trying to survive by escaping to the 1st world, but they'r only bringing their problems to us.

    it's a very harsh decision, but the 1st world cannot allow itself to be dragged down like that.

    tht's why the anti-immigrant parties in euro are doing so well in elections, and the policies of the establishment, the center, have been strongly discredited w/ the masses.

    much same in the US w/ trump altho he's a separate case bc he's merely a political charlatan capitalizing on the immigration disaster, and the pressure on low and middle income workers.

    The problem w/ the 99% is most of us who'r politically informed are clinging to very dangerously outdated political views, like w/ immigration :

    Essentially, the reason for that is because obama is black.
