Yup as a white dude the only other white dudes I know that would have to apologize for being white are the dudes who casually drop n bombs and think they're superior to others...
It's not the "It's okay to be white" part that I take issue with. It's the part that usually follows that goes, "minorities trying to take over the country" that I take issue with.
And wouldn't you know it? The ones who always say "It's okay to be white" tend to be the worst types of people. The best metaphor for this is putting an American flag in front of your house. I don't take issue with that, but it can also be said that those who tend to want to show an American flag in front of their house also tend to put out a confederate flag (or worse sadly).
My non scientific theory is they are such big losers that the color of their skin is all they have left to be proud of. Even if their lives are miserable, looking down at other people gives them the bit of dopamine they crave in their miserable existence.
I’m white and I have literally never been asked to apologize for being white. This whole white guilt shtick is made up by these morons to fantasize and circle-jerk how they’re not gonna succumb to the woke mind virus.
I’m a white straight guy, and firmly on the left, and not once have I felt judged or hated for being either of those three things in leftist spaces. The whole “the left hates white straight men!” Is mass hysteria.
I have been in NYC, literally hadn’t said anything and someone was talking about how much they hated white men sotto voce while looking directly at me. Was around the time of the Eric Garner protests (I was there to join).
That was a decade ago, kind of soured me on pure leftist spaces. Bright side is it made me volunteer for and donate to actual political campaigns.
aka - the entire maga mantra. the "left" is always some random ass person on twitter that they compare comments to the people they fucking elected to office.
No it was a meeting before it. The problem was no one cared or even called it out. I didn’t go back because one of the main organizers lectured us on calling out hate, then acted like you when I brought it up privately.
They said it never happens. It does. You think you’re helping the cause by having blinders on, but you’re just driving people away. This is not the only incident I experienced, just brought up one.
This kind of reductive response just makes you look pathetic to everyone who isn’t terminally online.
Some white guys got confronted with the idea that perhaps, being born a white male, with no obvious physical disabilities, in the richest country in the history of the planet, may have an advantage over those who were not.
I think it's really shitty what other white cishet man have done and still do. Deplorable really. But I don't feel guilt or shame for it, just do my best to offset that bullshit where I can.
I've been the only white guy in all black spaces many many times because of friends, music and much more but it's a space I'm comfortable in and I never get asked to apologize for being white or asked to be different.
The vast bulk of conservatives seem to have an absolutely massive victim complex.
Despite being the largest single racial group in the US (75%), despite virtually everyone in positions of significant power being white, and despite complaining about other people talking about race, they are obsessed with the idea of white people being victims.
Either deliberately or out of ignorance, they also fail to realise that life is a not a zero-sum game - simply because someone else who was previously disadvantaged is now less disadvantaged (such as women, Black people etc), does not mean that they (white people) are worse off. Unfortunately, however, the fact that the disadvantage gap has narrowed seems to lead a lot of people to think they've become worse off, just because the people who were below them are a bit closer to them.
Despite being the largest single racial group in the US (75%), despite virtually everyone in positions of significant power being white, and despite complaining about other people talking about race, they are obsessed with the idea of white people being victims.
The whole white nationalist movement is powered by that 75% statistic. They piss and cry if it seems like that number ever shrinks, whether it’s because miscegenation continues to happen, white birth rates continue to shrink, non-white birth rate rises, or (when) the country imports more non-white immigrants. Their hyper fixation on cuckold porn, mixed-race families in Disney movies and tradwifes is all powered by this anxiety of being “outbred” by non-white ppl. They are all losers to the core.
I think they confuse occasionally being told that they have privilege from being white. And we do. I have white male privilege and it’s really not that hard to acknowledge the advantages I have for my demographic.
I think they get angry and twist it into “apologizing for being white” comes from the fact that they know they have a privilege being in the majority race.
White people aren’t allowed to have pride is the dumbest take.
There’s massive st Patrick’s day parades throughout the country. Go to anywhere in the northeast and you’ll find Italian flags everywhere. Chicago has Kasimir Pulaski day to celebrate polish culture, etc etc etc.
No one has any problem with people celebrating their culture and heritage.
Yeah, the problem with celebrating whiteness is that “white” is just a fiction made up by slavers to declare themselves superior. Nobody cares if you’re celebrating your Irish, Italian, German, Dutch, etc, roots.
And before some baby-dicked midwit comes in to say “well if whiteness is a lie, isn’t blackness?”
Yes it is - they are both lies told by slavers. The difference is that the European slavers got to keep their national culture, while the African slaves had their origins erased through violence. They had their connection to their homelands stolen and the lie that they were all just “black” forced on them, so they formed a new common community under the shared label.
I was talking to people who hate Somalis on Facebook earlier, and got two of them to freely admit they consider themselves the master race. Vance knows these people are becoming more emboldened, and he knows exactly what he was doing when he said this.
I grew up in a super conservative area where everyone was a republican and everyone watched fox and listened to Limbaugh.
I went to a really progressive college where the whole campus was super into Bernie Sanders.
This is how I know these republicans are completely full of shit.
Never, not once, not in any context, have I been asked to apologize for being white or has anyone ever insinuated that I ought to feel guilty for being white or ashamed or responsible for past injustices because im white.
I have a very progressive social circle these days with people who hate democrats like Schumer and Jeffries and love Mamdani. These people must be the wokest of the woke since they are politically engaged and have what these losers would call "far left" politics.
And yet I have never ever heard anyone say anything remotely close to "you need to apologize for being white."
Funny thing is, every time I go home I hear my boomer relatives bitching and moaning that you're supposed to be ashamed to be white these days and how white men are the most oppressed group.
It's completely made up. Fantasyland. These people wnat to be victims so badly that they make up injustices against them.

No one has ever been forced to apologize for being white. What they have had to apologize for is saying racist ass shit.

Basically... White Nationalist types...

It's the same thing for these people.

They confuse "apologizing for being white" with "recognizing basic facts about world history."
They recognized it but they don't see that stuff as bad.
Ppl who complain and carry on about wokeness ect - they are admitting they dont feel/experience/understand empathy.
Woke = empathy (in a nutshell)
They cannot imagine what it feels like to be in someone elses shoes
Even other white people- It might seem like they can because they all bitch about white oppression together - but its just an illusion.
Same and me either
I’m a white straight guy, and firmly on the left, and not once have I felt judged or hated for being either of those three things in leftist spaces. The whole “the left hates white straight men!” Is mass hysteria.
The left hates... Racist, bigoted, out of touch, stupid, emotional, and angry... White men.
They tend to forgot a lot of the details lmao
But we hate everyone who acts like that regardless of the color of their skin...

10 years ago somebody decided to be mean to you at a protest? that's it?
Don't you know? A random anecdotal person in NYC is obviously representative of the entirety of the left side of the political spectrum.

Well said
"we're not nazis!!!!" nazi slogan
All of them are saying “never have, never will” and are also not realizing that is proof that you’ve never had to apologize for being white lmao

Mocked relentlessly = melted down apparently.

I swear their persecution complex is like Viagra for those weirdos.

mutters under breath “What a fuckin moron”
Conservative; “Look at that stupid lib snowflake melting down, owned haha!”
brown pride and black power slogans originated in the fight for equal rights.
white pride originated in trying to prevent said equal rights. fuck these idiots.
I've been on both extremes.
I grew up in a super conservative area where everyone was a republican and everyone watched fox and listened to Limbaugh.
I went to a really progressive college where the whole campus was super into Bernie Sanders.

Of course there's always a pick me in the comments thinking "I'm one of the good ones, they surely won't turn against me".
Melted down = stunned amazement at the audacity of these bitches.
The guy saying the anti-white verify will never end is so close, he's buried in it.
Kimsemi has a decent take, but as usual with the Top Minds, it's few and far between
