This website will let you cash in your whiteness to help other people - black artist

said in an interview.

So which ATPN members will cash in your whiteness?

"There are people across the political spectrum who don't understand that they have privilege,” she said. “So in many ways the site lets you cash in your whiteness to help other people."

She added: “Privilege isn’t the idea that you live in a luxury hotel and have everything at your beck and call. It's the Western world privileging certain people.”

Yet if you are to suggest people move to countries where white people are second class citizens, you'll be called a racist. I'm just trying to help people out.

All division of us and the other is based on the need for relief from self hate in the form of projection. If I can just turn my self contempt for myself against others I can feel the anger that I am terrified will be directed at me. Thus, by destroying the other I fantasize that I protect myself from what is really only my own self hate for me.

Anybody who turns a spotlight onto this inner reality, if by defense of the other, or by appeals to guilt threatens to awaken people to self understanding, the last think we want and would rather die than feel.

How lucky are the broken and beaten, the downtrodden and abused whose self hate is so raw they have nothing to lose. It is these, the meek that are open to understanding, those who suffer so deeply they feel empathy. It is for the humble that God opens the door of inner light. Try not to hate others so you can forgive yourself.

My ancestors were enslaved by Vikings (not the minnesota kind either). They were raped, pilaged and abused for hundreds of years. I'm asking the people of the north to pay me for my suffering. We'll see how far i get.

This thread will end well.

I'm curious; you ever read Nietzsche?

My grandfather told me something a long time ago, "Don't ever trust someone who calls themselves a "conceptual artist".

A long time ago I went searching for a path out of hopelessness, the realization there is no good out there in the universe. All I seem to recall, really, is that Nietzsche was one I encountered who I thought felt the same pain and was looking for a way out. I would not be surprised if what I read in him became one of the many things that added up to weakening the mortar that bound the bricks to my prison. I thank all those who made me feel my pain. I think he did.

Now there's a concept or would you prefer precept. I have trouble with the difference.

I'm wondering this too.

Funny how many people's "support" of these groups ends when its put-up-or-shut-up time.

Show of hands?

Pretty much all indigenous Euros can complain about being conquered or at some point living as a second class citizen to some Germanic tribe. German privelige! Every white ethnic without Germanic roots should be able to claim reparation money for occupation of their land and being subjugated.

I'd be more curious to know if Nietzsche ever read Moonie :hmm:

The easiest way to eliminate racism is not participate in it.

<forrest gump> and just like that, my racist days were over</forrest gump>

<forrest gump>sorry if I ruined your multi-billion dollar grievance party</forrest gump>

I agree with this guy from the article.

"The idea of white guilt is intrinsically linked to slavery," said Paul Joseph Watson, a London-based editor and writer at InfoWars, the popular libertarian site, who has written critically of the art project.

"I have no problem with someone setting up a website encouraging others to help poorer members of society, but miring it in race guilt is just a way of exploiting gullible leftists," he said, adding that the artist's invocation of white privilege is "just another facet of the race card."
