Subject: White People Are Being Oppressed!

Written By: Jessica on 09/18/09 at 9:05 am

My head hurts from the number of times I banged it against the keyboard while reading this article.

White Conservatives Say It's Their Turn For Empowerment

Last weekend, Cindy Wilkerson, a 44-year-old former social worker, helped organize three busloads of protesters who rode from Mississippi to Washington for the big protest targeting President Obama and his policies. The passengers, all white, wore T-shirts identifying themselves without irony as "Freedom Riders."

Decades ago, that phrase evoked something quite different. It was bestowed on the predominantly black and white activists who traveled to the Deep South to challenge segregation -- and were sometimes met with hostility and violence.

"We were riding for freedom," said Wilkerson. "For the freedom of Mississippians and all Americans. . . . The consensus is that this is not a left-wing government, but that this is more of a Marxist , you know?"


The stupidity of this is absolutely breathtaking.

This is just going to be like the 50's, all over again.  And not neccesarly, in a good way, either.

Never before, have I been more ashamed to be White.

I remember the fifties and the similarities are striking.  That people continue to fall for it is the scary part.

It hope that it doesn't out, like that film., Mississippi Burning, because that would be really bad.

I read the article and I am completely disgusted!

To think that White Supremacists are trying to hide their agenda behind a so-called 'freedom' thing just makes me sick to my stomach. I am not naive enough to believe that there hasn't been racism in the last 20 years, but seriously, have we lost so much ground that we are even giving these idiots the time to spew their hatred?

eta: Obama didn't create the current status of this Nation - W. did that with quite a few helping hands! One act of reform and suddenly Obama and his followers are the Devil??!! Seriously, these people need to take their heads out of their asses and breathe some fresh air!!

You realize, of course, that this is a supremely racist statement.

Because you assume that due to the color of somebody's skin is white, they should have something of which they should be ashamed.

No, I am ashamed to be white myself, because of what's happening lately.

Sorry, if it came out as racist.

Still comes out as racist.  It assumes that people will judge you based on the color of your skin, and the fact that you would feel ashamed of being white would indicate a level of concurrence with a race-based judgement.

But you do know what he means!
Instead of trying to start something... just let it go.

Thanks, Tam. I really needed that.

I was talking about the whole idea of  White People Are Being Oppressed, and how it sounds like the most stupidest thing, I ever head.

And that it gives a blank check, to any idiot out there, to do something really stupid.

Thanks again, Tam.  Your a okay, in my book.

I am not ashamed to be white, I'd be ashamed if I was those people's friends though. . .

I'm neither ashamed to be white nor have ''white guilt''
But I do think their thinly veiled racism and their slap into the face of the REAL Freedom Riders is something to be ashamed of.
This really is the '50s all over again, between the Neo Red Scare and the Racial tension. It's a shame.

I suppose the reasoning behind this is that anyone can play the victim...  especially delusional rednecks.
