look whitey
I don't have time for your "white guilt". I don't like being around it. It's like a cloud of blank white un creativity hovering around your head. I think it's indulgent and reactive. Guilt is NEVER proactive, especially guilt over something you have NO CONTROL OVER. Being around activists with a heavy burden of white guilt is like watching an athlete shoot herself in the foot every day before breakfast.
Racial pride is, at best, silly*. But the taboo phenomena of white pride is, at least, a million times better than white guilt. Ultimately pride and guilt are two sides of the same stupid coin, but why would someone who subscribes to such triviality allow themselves only to taste the bitter parts of the fruit? Why, if not to keep themselves in perpetual purgatory? (s h a m e)
Guilt is reaction. It can be transcended by proaction. Some people achieve great accomplishment under the whip of guilt, but if they can never divest themselves of it and walk away free than what the fuck!?
I have guilt. guilt about all kinds of things. some of it may never dissipate in my lifetime. But it doesn't take a genius or a hero to take the first step in not accepting guilt as a permenant fixture in life. It is as arbitrary and transient as you make it.
I know this is easier for me to say because of some ethnic technicality and that i'm being an insensitive prick, but hey no one's gonna read this anyway.
*which isn't saying much if EVERYTHING is at its best when perceived in it's silly dilly willyness
