You're an admitted victim of the? propaganda campaign aimed and instilling guilt amongst Whites, to feel bad for things that either didn't happen, are completely exaggerated and that you had no involvement in whatsoever. Grow up.
The liar, hypocrite, plagiarist, womanizer and communist sympathizer we all know as Martin Luther King. He was recorded the day before his assassination by the FBI saying the following "I'm not a negro tonight!" and "I'm fucking for God!"

This probably should go in RSTDT.
And if you could prove that any of those things you say about MLK were true, how does that mean that equal rights for people of all races is a bad thing?
Way to attack the guy when he can't defend himself.
While I do agree that it's a tad silly to feel guilty over the actions of your ancestors (whom you had absolutely no control over), there's still no reason to hate another person because of something they can't control. I don't know about you, but I didn't get to pick my gender or race when I was conceived.
@#1116164, Doubting Thomas - If I'm not mistaken I submitted this one, while it's a bit RSTDT in places the guy is ranting about propaganda campaigns and how the FBI bumped MLK off etc. So I was always leaning towards CTSTDT.
As far as "white guilt" goes, anyone tries that shit on me and I inform them we didn't get here until 1914, so had absolutely nothing to do with it.
Hell even if my family was here, we would of been too poor to own a slave.
As for MLK, WTF?
Blacks today have less to receive from their ancestors because of what your ancestors did. You're not responsible for what they did, but you're responsible for correcting the situation, society as a whole is, if people weren't valued further than what they inherit it wouldn't be civilisation. Well-off blacks pay taxes too, it's not just you.

The bulk of Eurpoean (white) immigration to this country occurred in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century, long after slavery was abolished. Also, slaves were held only by the wealthy, or about 3,000 families, total, in the US, while the majority of us descend from much humbler, if not dirt poor, illiterate, immigrant ancestors, and have been given next to nothing in material inheritance, generation after generation. I've had to struggle (with 3 jobs) to be the first person in my family to get a college degree, and our ancestors came here 120 years ago, poor for generations. While we all, as a society, bear the responsibility to right injustice and end discrimination, to assume that any person with white skin bears greater responsibility for slavery or has accumualtied generations of wealth is injustice and racism in itself.

I remember in 5th grade, we read about slavery. We all acknowledged that it was bad, and swore that if WE had been there, we wouldn’t have done that.
Pretty sure that if we HAD been there, we’d have fit into the culture we grew up in, but right then, we felt that it was BAD.
We certainly didn’t feel a connection to anyone that WAS involved. It just wasn’t us. During the Civil War, our ancestors had been busy fighting the Indians…
Anyway, now i keep seeing people talk about American history as a propaganda effort to make whites feel bad. Why do you take it personally?
I suspect you identify pretty closely with the slavers a lotmore than just because they were white…
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
