White Guilt Is Dead

According to census data, the black population in the U.S. is approximately 13%. That means, quite simply, that white folks elected Barack Obama to the highest office in the land. Sure, it wasn’t a landslide but Obama’s ascension puts to rest the notion that blacks have no opportunity to succeed and that it’s the white man who is “keeping the brother down.”

Don’t read this article if you are a liberal. It’s a “conservative thing”… you wouldn’t understand.

This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barack Obama their leader. Therefore, as of November 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.

Another Angry Black Man: The Audacity of Obama

Writing at Townhall.com, Phyllis Schlafly confirmed with her reading of Obama’s , Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, what I also believe– Barack Obama has spent his entire life cultivating a hatred of white people.

Obama’s racist attitudes weren’t just the product of youth and inexperience. He continued to fuel this deep-rooted bigotry by sitting under the tutelage of a hate-spewing preacher, Jeremiah Wright. The fact that, for two decades, Obama never heard a word that caused him to question Wright’s racist teachings is further proof that Obama holds these hate-filled attitudes to today.

Obama says that the hate doesn’t go away. “It formed a counter-narrative buried deep within each person and at the center of which stood white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

Race `Panties in a Wad` in Gwinnett

I was going to let this one go, but I can’t. Let me state it simply– just because the white guy talks about blacks doesn’t necessarily mean that he’s talking bad about blacks.

In yet another example of racial hypersensitivity, some parents and the head of the Gwinnett NAACP are calling for the resignation of Gwinnett County School Superintendent Alvin Wilbanks for a comment that he made last month during a public meeting about the disproportionate discipline of minority students in Gwinnett. As reported in the AJC:

The comments in question occurred last week during a presentation about the disproportionate discipline of minority students in Gwinnett. An administrator said the issue is a problem for school districts nationwide, except for Idaho, according to a study. Wilbanks then asked the administrator, James Taylor, executive director of the department of academic support:

“Do they have any blacks in Idaho? They don’t have many.”

What is `White Guilt`?

What is white guilt?

It is not a personal sense of remorse over past wrongs. White guilt is literally a vacuum of moral authority in matters of race, equality, and opportunity that comes from the association of mere white skin with America’s historical racism. It is the stigmatization of whites and, more importantly, American institutions with the sin of racism.

Under this stigma white individuals and American institutions must perpetually prove a negative–that they are not racist–to gain enough authority to function in matters of race, equality, and opportunity. If they fail to prove the negative, they will be seen as racists. Political correctness, diversity policies, and multiculturalism are forms of deference that give whites and institutions a way to prove the negative and win reprieve from the racist stigma.
