What consequences would those be, Casper, for saying that it's okay to be white? Please, inform us.

It's funny you mention El Paso. My sister lived there for two years (husband is Army), and she went to see one of her kid's teachers because her child was being shunned by the others. The teacher told her flat out, "Of course he doesn't have any friends. He's white." She eventually ended up homeschooling while they were in Hell Paso, but that was also due in part to the fingerprint bruises on the back of her autistic child's arms.

This is pretty cryptic. What gives?

The first 7 second of this is dark comedy at its best.

West El Paso is where the white people live. If you are white you want your kids there in school. Don't put them in a mostly latino school which is everywhere except for the west side. Near the army base is in the ghetto in the NE part of town. A quick ride over Transmountain takes you from the NE to the west side.

I lived there for three years. I am white blonde hair blue eyes. Never had more women chasing after me anytime in my life. I enjoyed my time living there. I made a lot of friends there and latinos there think that white people look down at them and are racist. If you get to know them and they see you are not like that everything is fine. But if you perpetuate their stereotypes it won't go well.

I've wondered about something. What do you do if you're Black in El Paso? I've never been there, but something about the desert Southwest still makes me want to go out there (I'm also thinking the Pacific Northwest, but I'm more familiar with the PNW, as I once lived there).

"It's OK to be white" is simply a response to the leftist race baiting and identity politics of the last 2 decades. More than anything else, it's a "NO" to accepting of undeserved guilt or blame simply for the color of one's skin. In the eyes of the weak-minded left, "white bashing" is seen as trendy and a way to ingrate themselves to every minority group in the country. White people, or "white privilege" is no more the blame of anyone's success or failure than the phase of the moon. We do have racists invoking that racist phrase to justify and excuse their own failures, and to blame them on others. This is simply a "NO" to that sentiment, and a refusal to accept an undeserved and unearned guilt.
