Time for white folks to do some introspection instead of acting like savages.

The innocence of white people

Race is such an artificial distinction that it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn ingrained in the collective psyche. Look just beneath the flesh and we're all pretty similar. We're unique as well, but that manifests on an individual level. The corporate media tends to talk up any possible artificial distinction it can conceive of: race, religion, etc. Sometimes I get so tired of this obviously stupid ********, but what can you do? It's beyond my power.

Good article.
Yeah, it really was. I got too wrapped up in my own negative reaction to world events. The author already transcends a number of preconceived notions across race and religion.
Why is it always about the "white people"? How about us Asians, the 'Yellow" or "Brown" people?
We are too insignificant to matter.
There is a surgence of hate and greed, but it is often followed by love and contentment. In time we will realize the ebb and flow of reality. Many here on this forum already realize it and, given enough time, I feel we will transcend the status quo and become fully human. Does anyone else see this? The potential is there and it is recognized as infinite. The universe is stranger than we initially supposed and it seems that infinite fluctuations of potentials are possible. My question is what role does volition play in choosing between infinite potentials?
Yup...
Don't be so sure. Asians are currently in the process of getting their own chance to screw up the world in major ways. I bet you make us all proud of how well you do it, too -- not because you're Asian, but because you're human. Our species is the least sane of the great apes.
Very well-written. Thanks for sharing.

If you don't know the difference between race, religion, nationality and culture, then you don't have any business attempting to discuss or debate any issues regarding them.

It also ignores that the fact that an entire people of a single race doesn't belong to a single nationality, religion, culture or ideology. Not all whites are Americans. Not all Americans are White, etc, etc, etc. Humanity is a very complex venn diagram when it comes to this sort of thing.
I'd advise you to watch Tim Wise on YouTube. You may learn a thing or two.

Places tongue in cheek: What do the people of the globe know of the white man's burden, to bring righteous enlightenment and civilization to all the poor ignorant godless unwashed primitives of the world. Manifest Destiny!!!

I haven't read the article, but how is calling "white people... savages" any better than stereotyping any other group?
You do realize that white people are also diverse, right? Or is it ok to make racist comments about the majority?
