    If you ask me, I think this White Awake thing is all about white guilt. But, of course, anything white these days is bound to draw the ire of people suffering from white guilt. Also, it seems these days most colleges have cubbyholes for select groups, so why not white people?

    This is what happens when children of conservatives actually move away from their parents and realize the world isn't as scary as they were made to believe. And that minorities aren't all out to rob or rape them and they have to confront the lies they've been told like confederates were "good guys" and it can be a confusing time for these poor kids.

    Minorities aren't about to rape them, they are about to report them.

    Go to the white safe zone and make black jokes and gay jokes and laugh at trannies and call feminists bitches. Bring beer. See you there.

    Why would you think that, is it because that’s what you would do? Is that what blacks and gays do in their safe spaces?

    Poor poor whites who are non Latin and non Jewish as we have a long history of being mistreated an we need to gather together for protection from these all powerful forces who are out to get us.

    Beside marching after dark with torches while chanting blood and soil look and sound cool

    Yes, that is what I do.
    You are welcome to join me.

    And yes I'm pretty sure blacks make whitey jokes, gays make hetero jokes and feminists make each other miserable.

    Back in the day everyone made jokes about everybody, it was how comedians made their living and it was a staple on the Dean Martin roasts. Political correctness killed all that. And nice crack about feminists, it made me chuckle.

    Could they not use "White Woke"? Or is that cultural appropriation?

    I know it seems strange but we actually do have a generation of children growing up in the south who think confederates were "good guys".

    Actually, a group for whites dedicated to addressing those things might not be a terrible idea

    I found myself using a kindergarten teacher's voice when I read this in my head:

    1. Do you want to improve your ability to relate to and connect with people different from yourself?

    2. Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable and confused before, during or after interactions with racial and ethnic minorities?

    3. Do you want to become a better ally?

    You dont believe there was any good in any slaveowner?

    The institution of slavery was wrong but history is seldom as simple as black and white

    Stop moving goal posts. Any good is a nebulous concept. Might a slave owner have helped a kitten out of a tree at some point? Maybe. He was still a piece of **** slave owner.

    They defended their homes from invasion that makes them bad guys? My gosh look what the Union forces did to the South back then.
    Oh that's right children growing up in the north are taught the Civil War was fought to end slavery.
