"It seems like a good warning. Rachel Dolezal's actions are a potential pitfall for any White people on the journey towards recognizing the truth of what it means to be White and accepting responsibility for it. But we cannot not be White. And we cannot undo what Whiteness has done. We can only start from where we are and who we are."
Your thoughts?
more of the hate whitey rubbish. some people just cant get over the color of another persons skin. and it doesnt matter what skin color these people are. and the sad truth is that if everyone were the same skin color, people would still find a reason to hate others. look at the middle east for instance. if you are a shia muslim, you are taught to hate sunni muslims. and even if you dont hate other muslim sects, you still hate christians, jews, and those that are not muslim enough.
and it doesnt even have to be religion either for people to find a reason to hate. the nazis hated the communists, even though they were very similar politically.

i agree with this. in the end skin color is just that, a color. if you are stupid enough to hate someone because of a color, then you deserve everything that happens to you.
That day is here actually, it just doesn't exist on political forums like this and on most American nes media outlets (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, The Daily Show)
Go out to the store in real life or go out to a restaurant and no one is really worried about skin color and racism everyone is just enjoying the day... turn on CNN and its like a race war
This is true and our government is the hotbed of racism. Most of us just go about our business and social life never considering skin color. We associate with other people who have similar values and interests. But the government requires that everyone focus on skin color and requires that statistics be kept by skin color. The government is the most racist organization on earth.
I take great pride in my ancestry. English, Ulster-Scot, Scottish, Welsh...arrived in 1611 to Jamestowne, Virginia. Fought in the American Revolution. Great Britain spawned some of the greatest technological and philosophical innovations that the world has ever known, including the United States.
I harbour no ill will toward anyone for their ethnicity, and they should take pride in who they are.
paint yourself green, wear revealing clothing, walk around making weird proclamations, and have someone video you doing all that. then post it up on youtube, and wait. lather, rinse, repeat. when you have a few videos up, you will know if you became an internet sensation or not.

I'm a white dude and I like it. Just like I'll tip my hat to a Black person who's happy about his race.
Just keep doing what your doing. Your on your way.
If you get there, and you don't know it, don't let it bother you. Someone will inform you or maybe inform on you.
Waiting.....
