I don't feel guilt for crimes that I did not commit.
Should all Irish people feel personally guilty for the IRA? Should a German boy born in 1992 feel personal guilt about the holocaust? Should an African girl, born twenty years from now, feel guilty for the genocide that was carried out in their country?

What makes you so special Bob? You either feel none of the guilt that every other white person has or you are a racist.
You're such an immature little boy.
Very few whites feel any personal guilt, about slavery. Don't believe me?
Go ahead, and start asking around.
I don't feel guilty for a crime I did not commit. And because I don't feel guilty for something that happened before my birth, that doesn't mean I'm a racist.
Stop generalizing, boy.

Yes, he is. Just as you make big assumptions by saying whites feel a 'crushing guilt' (really, just the thought of the white community experiencing a 'crushing guilt' makes me laugh. Hard).
If you have a reason for the whole "whip" commentary I really will be interested to hear it.
Are you contesting the truth of his statement?

He's just trying to displace some of that (*snicker) 'crushing guilt'.
I swear by my life - and my love of it - that I will never live my life for the sake of another man, or ask another man to live his for mine.

You're a sexist and a homophobe, locke.
And if you deny it, or get defensive...well, that just proves you're a sexist and a homophobe.
You've backed yourself into a corner, with your logic. No matter how you respond to this question, your own stated opinions define you as 'discriminatory'.

I would like to throw my weight in with Redbob86 and _FLAGG here. I feel absolutely no guilt for the crimes of my ancestors. If I did, it would be far too confusing to sort out, condidering I'm about half European and half Cherokee in origin.

Exactly. I'm half Irish, and half German.
Should I feel personal guilt for the actions of the IRA (because I'm Irish), the actions of the germans in WW2 (because I'm German), and the actions of slaveowners in early America (because I'm white)?
Doesn't that just sound fucking stupid?

It most certainly does. I'm still hoping for a future where people are accountable for their own actions, and are not held responsible for the wrongs of distant ancestors. The whole "Your grandparents killed mine" argument is getting pretty old.

I really couldn't give a flying fuck about what happened to the negros. You will find that the current white community doesn't have this "crushing guilt" because they didn't do it.
All that shit happened ages ago so get over it. Saying that the white community should feel guilt for what some americans did is just as racist as calling all blacks thiefs. Some white people enslaved negros, so what, that doesnt mean that every white person did.

I've got too many nationalities in my blood to worry about some possible links to acts they have committed. I'm Irish, Croatian, German, Italian, Polish, and French Canadian, I don't have the time nor the patience to try and figure out all of this shit. I'd be too confused on sorting out possible guilt of the Hollocaust between my German and Polish roots, too much of a mindfuck.

Only white people are capable of being racist.
Suggesting otherwise is so racist.

Let's put it this way...
"ancient ancestors":
Well, most of us hopefully can trace our lineages back a few generations, if we're lucky we can trace them back to when and where our families came from. I for instance, am 3rd generation American. I was born in America, as were my parents and grandparents. My Great grandparents came from Ireland and Yugoslavia, Croatia, and Serbia, and they moved to Detroit and didn't own slaves.
Most people can probably trace a similar pattern, and it's really only a few people that can actually trace their lineage to slave owning families. In addition, many of these families may have been wiped out during and after the Civil War anyways, further diminishing the "ancient ancestors" theory.
Hence, guilt for what my "ancestors" did is a fairly stupid reason to have a double standard....

Because the n-word can get you banned...
Although... if you want an answer...
Cracker doesn't have the equal impact compared to the N-word.
The word 'cracker' wasn't used as a way to opress white people, but the other did.
Anyways,
naught words aren't nice... so let's avoid them. Then problem solved...

Come now...
we all know how sensitive Flagg can be.
I don't view 'cracker' as being overtly offensive.
Just like you don't view 'illegal alien' as offensive.
Oh well, the world has a way to balance things out...
Although... I'm sorry if you are personally offended. I thought it was very funny in my post's context. Of all people to be offended, I never suspected you would be one of them.

In white plains a few months ago a black man killed a white woman in a mall parking lot. He even said at one point that he "wanted to kill a white person in the prime of their life" Yet suddenly its not a hate crime, he's "insane".

Well, he IS insane. Unlike the Robert Byrd case, this particular suspect has a history of mental illness. Looks more like the state dropped the ball than anything.
He's a level 3 sex offender, and they kept turning him out onto the streets. It was a matter of time before something like this happened.

I don't know much about this case, but I don't think refusing to take a sanity test is a way to determine one's sanity.

The earlier argument that because you're getting defensive is a sign that you have the white guilt....cracks me up. NOT getting defensive and standing up for yourself is more of a sign of the white guilt. The black racists won't ever shut the hell up until we call them on the carpet for their blantant racism every time they spew their hate. You should stand up for yourself when you're unjustly accused. If you get called a murderer or rapist, then you're just speaking in your own defense if you deny it. But if you deny being racist that makes you guilty of something? I don't buy it. That's bullshit and the guy who posted it knows that.
Joe Biden is not change. He's more of the same.

Read the article, plz. i only quoted a part of it to show that the state took no responsibility for a repeat offender, they just kept dumping him back onto the streets. To be fair, it wasn't the state, but the county that kicked him out of the shelter.

Self-importance is man's greatest enemy. What weakens him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow men. Self-importance requires that one spend most of one's life offended by something or someone.--Don Juan
It wasn't that bad. Tasteless maybe, but nothing that should cause such an inflammatory response.

A properly made cracker has a bit of sharp cheese and a slice of apple on top... or something else sweet.

No white guy gives a damn if you call him a cracker! A cracker is a finger-food. It's not like you can buy unsalted n****rs at the corner store! As for your rant, read the words below these words! (The ones in grey). Hope that clears things up!

I think hate crimes are totally unnecessary. Basically, if I kill a black guy... it shouldn't matter the reason, it's fucking murder. If I beat the shit out of him with a baseball bat, that's assault with a weapon. Why can't we just label crimes for what they are, rather than add bullshit "hate" to it?
