Queanking, Why do you assume that white leftists hate themselves?
Each one of your previous incarnations has failed to understand the one basic principle that, simply recognizing that minorities have suffered under discriminatory and unjust treatment at the hands of a white majority IS NOT THE SAME AS WHITES "HATING" THEMSELVES."
Acknowldeging the sins of the past is not the same as self-loathing.
I personally have never mistreated anyone because of their race. I do, however, think that slavery, racism, lynchings, race-driven massacres, Executive order 9066, the Holocaust, and the Trail of Tears were horrible events in history that should be acknowledged as such. Does this mean I hate myself, or that I hate white people, because of these crimes?
NO!!! It does not.
Does that mean that I think these events should not be taught in public schools, because it might make people feel "Guilty" or "Hate White People?"
NO! That's fucking ridiculous! Stupid logic. I know, I know, at least one leading presidential candidate does think this way, but most decent people realize this is fucked up and wrong.
You are not alone in failing to understand this. But I think a lot of people inherantly DO understand this concept, the bottom line is...they LIKE injustice and discriminatory treatment of non-whites, and just plain don't like non-whites.
