What caused white guilt?
There's no reason to ever apologize for owning slaves, racism and colonialism.
Because it's not in a white person's self interest to do so, is it? Acknowledging and apologising would just put you in the wrong and that's not good for your financial wellbeing and it's not good for the well being of white countries.

>> No.15133753

People wanting you to recognize that the actions of your ancestors effect the structure of society today isn't the same thing as people wanting you to take personal responsibility and to apologize for everything bad. Anyone who just apologizes for slavery and colonialism and whatever doesn't actually give a shit about contemporary racism and is desperate for brownie points.

White guilt is just an inverted form of the white man's burden; IE, rather than feeling the strain of having to "civilise the savages", so to speak, you feel like you have to prostrate yourself in a way that completely denies the other's agency. It is a gross act of sentimentalisation that makes a mockery of their independence from us. The reason why both white man's burden and white guilt are both still constellated within a racist paradigm is because they cannot conceive of the other without a relation to themselves; either it is the white people's fault for not civilising them, or the white people cannot address the other without constantly making themselves and their apologies the centre of attention.

To be truly free of racism is to denounce racist behaviour (both physical and verbal), but not to disrespect the other with our petty sentimentalisations, nor by implying that we have some responsibility owed to them. By granting them independence from us, and respecting those differences, that debt is already being repaid.

Post-colonialism is entirely the result of the white man's burden.

Of course they do. Just look at a country like Botswana– untouched by imperialism because of its natural beauty, and is now one of the most independent and self-sustaining countries in Africa. If you're concerned about people fleeing other countries into ours, its likely because we created those messes that they are running from in the first place. You don't even want to know how badly the Belgians fucked up the Congo.

>they want us to surrender our nations to them
Oh yeah? They tell you this yourself? You accuse me of "simplified platitudes" yet you're still framing the discussion in terms of war. An external force intended to frighten the nation into a unified front against it. It's like your rhetoric is still stuck in Nazi Germany.

>We owe them no debt at all, as their lives in our nations are far better than they would've been otherwise.
It's a shame really, the old imperialists knew that importing minorities into our civilisation was incredibly important. Even if they did it out of a crude belief that they were "civilising" other nations, at least they were fully aware of the value in an integrated empire. Like I said, the debt is repaid simply by respecting their independence– if they want to be free citizens in our prosperous nations, they have as much right as any.

You've got the wrong idea. White guilt is not a personal shame that one feels for something done by people who've been dead for hundreds of years longer than they were alive. It's a general sense of distaste for white people. It's the unspoken cultural belief that you aren't allowed to say positive things about white people, you aren't allowed to feel pride in or seek out distinctly white things, and that any attempt to "diversify" your life a step away is automatically a step up from being plainly European. It's a subtle little line of code that's been slipped into our culture over the past 60 years or so that white=bad because whiteness is defined by privilege and oppression. Microaggressions? That's a concept that dripped out of liberal thought because this is how liberal thought operates. It's projection. They can't come out and say white people are awful without contradicting their ideals, so instead they use words and subtitles, tinkering away at setting taboos until they get what they want. They can't ask you to take a right onto Hate White People Ave, so instead they ask for three totally innocent lefts that are ultimately are just roundabout means to the same end.

Even taking your point, how do you know they wouldn't be in a better position now with a legacy of European education & infrastructure?

Yes, anti-white pocs in the West routinely cheer the ongoing up-ending of ethnic demography here and the end of white hegemony in our own nations. They also frame it as a war, they call it 'war of the womb'. The ones that aren't vocal about it still generally vote as ethnic collectives and unequivocally support further mass non-white immigration. Oh, but of course I'm a Nazi for having the gall to defend -my- people's interests/existence instead of remaining blind to the obvious. Wake the fuck up.

The old imperialists had a vision of exporting our civlization to them, not literally importing foreign peoples en masse into the West. You're completely full of it. No, they don't have as much right as any; our ancestors did not sweat and bleed so that we could surrender their legacy to foreign peoples, you pathetic worm.

And America isn't? I mean, in terms of actual jobs being exported, the death of industry, agriculture, etc.. It's a figurative desertification, but no less devastating. Burgerland is gonna be a third-world country (in fact it arguably already is, in many states) even without coronavirus, and even without all of the immigrants.

>how do you know they wouldn't be in a better position now with a legacy of European education & infrastructure?
Like I said– look at the congo. Look at all of the countries that were utterly devastated by the gold rushe and "the race for africa". Look at south africa. These places are no better for our having interfered in them, primarily because we were only there for the resources, not development. That happened in the east, and look how well it turned out for them.

> the ongoing up-ending of ethnic demography here and the end of white hegemony in our own nations
sorry, but where are all these white people going? Are they all being thrown into a woodchipper? Shifting demographics is not a threat to the white race, no matter how much you like to stir up panic. "Hegemony" doesn't mean shit when America has literally never been a white country. Embrace your muttdom and be done with it.

>The old imperialists had a vision of exporting our civlization to them, not literally importing foreign peoples en masse into the West
They absolutely did, it was in no way a one-way street. What would be the point of civilising the savages if they could not also import many of the talents they were able to create? And even if they couldn't, there was still ample room for slaves.

That's a 13 year old's understanding of political theory. Do you think liberals don't know that not all people are equally intelligent?

But, again, it's a double-edged sword: you help -- whatever you consider that to be -- it's colonialism, etc.; you don't, it's racism, etc. Burden v. guilt. Hell, you can't even say, "Maybe we'll just focus on ourselves," because that's lamented, too.

That depends on what you mean. I would probably disagree. People who swallow the white privilege kool-aid also tend to sneakily weave a broader conclusion in with the definition (that white privilege is a really big deal, the biggest deal, so big it demands swift intervention), which is bullshit and shows the true angle.

Your emotional whinging isn't going to fool me.
Mexico isn't uninhabitable, they're wealthier than they've ever been.

Libya is not a significant source of immigration. Again, I'm not in support of geopolitcal shenanigans, I'm just saying that your assertion about the major sources of non-white immigration having been rendered "uninhabitable" by us is complete bullshit.

You also realize Gadaffi was keeping a lot of the migrant flood at bay, right?

You're just doing extreme mental gymnastics to avoid facing the fact that destabilizing regimes has consequences on the general populace. You're basically asking me to give you data from a parallel universe where those CIA led coups didn't happen so we can compare GDP numbers, even though in other contexts you'll clearly say GDP is a Jewish Economist trick and not worth a lower trust society (ie. the exact horror you waved aside to protect your ego.)

It means that if you are a parent in an impoverished black family during slavery/Jim crow era etc. your kids aren't magically going to become wealthier after the legal barriers are lifted. If a family is poor, statistically speaking their children are going to remain poor. Hence, because of certain historical circumstances, whites in America are wealthier than blacks on average. That's what white privilege means.

I'm also not arguing in favor of mass migration. I am arguing to see the truth of how this occurs.

If you're an impoverished white family during slavery/Jim Crow era, you aren't going to "magically" become wealthier either. You keep showing exactly what I'm talking about here. You're bullshitting up a special distinction for the white version of financial privilege, one that isn't actually extended to all whites.
>because of certain historical circumstances, whites in America are wealthier than blacks on average. That's what white privilege means.
No, that's not what it means, and I don't think you actually believe that. White privilege is typically used to describe how white people in theory benefit from a modern system of prejudices.
>Well that shows the importance of the intersectional pov
The intersectional pov is a lie. You can march all your employees out into a field and have them do the condescending sensitivity exercise where everyone takes a step forward for this and that, but that kind of vetting is not practical and no one even gives a shit about it in practice, especially self-declared intersectionalists. Who is the intersectionalist college admissions office going to tell to go home when they have to choose between a black man in a wheelchair who was born into money but had an abusive father vs a white female who is gay and went to a good school but was born poor? Are they going to break out the chart and start doing oppression math? Or are they going to do what they always do in practice and just pluck from the top of their list whoever is the most immediately, visibly distant from a straight white male. At the end of the day, even if you could take all possible factors into account, what you wind up with is judging people purely by their merits as individuals, something intersectionalists always sperg out over because it's not using enough of their buzzwords.

Meanwhile, half the planet is on lockdown, there are vanishingly few border crossings. America's Middle Eastern misadventures might not be a smart idea, but they aren't causing immigration. They might be causing people to leave, but they aren't causing them to actually reach their destination - that's wholly on the governments in question, and is really more of a moral issue than anything.
