I agree, I don't know why I wasted so much time there arguing with people that just want to virtue signal and repeat the same meaningless rhetoric over and over without having real conversations. I'm hoping this site is a fresh start for actually exchanging ideas. It's ok to be white.

You're right - in the most un-racist slogan way possible (bloody hell, here I am putting disclaimers on it, this is what they've done to me..) - it is ok to be white. I don't need to apologise for my perceived 'privilege', I don't need to be ashamed of who I am, or what people of the same skin colour may have done in generations gone by.

My opinions and debate is valid, regardless of my personal characteristics and if you seek to lessen my opinion on a topic because I'm white, I see that as a failure of your arguement.

no one asks a Japanese child to apologize for Pearl Harbor, or a young Saudi Arabian to apologize for 9/11, nor should they. So why would it be any different for white people?
