The white guilt logic obviously doesn't make sense:



I don't think white guilt has anything to do with the "issue" or more accurately, how it is being spread...that comes down to the same old thing...$ and exposure. I'm with you though, I do think suckers like JB are 100% white guilt or trying to move against the current of popular sentiment...I honestly believe that if you had a polygraph, 90% of the whiners would be exposed as frauds

and considering the overwhelming majority of people do not think it is racist...I really cannot point to white guilt.

I would love to have this conversation in another thread, but by addressing this, I'm shifting the conversation away from whether or not "redskins" is racist.

so it's survivor's guilt?

It's time to consider that there may be more to it than just white guilt.

but it has only gained steam with 2 types...sports journalist and media and NA organizations

do you realize how many black people feel they are discriminated against? That white people are overwhelmingly racist? Even if an opinion or sentiment is possible doesn't mean it is reasonable, with merit, or grounded in reality...individuals are smart, groups are dumb. Do you know how many people believe in JFK conspiracies, UFOs, and 9/11 conspiracies?

Offense and discrimination are not the same thing. This is about a name offending people. Not complex, systemic, societal discrimination

There's real world evidence to counter those claims. The belief or disbelief in certain facts and events shouldn't be compared to this. What's your counter again when someone says something offends them? Can you read their mind?
