White dude here... Who the fuck is apologizing for being white? Why do they keep saying this and what's the point? I've never felt the need nor have I ever experienced anyone else needing to apologize for their being white or any other race. What does the right go through that make them feel like they would ever need to apologize for being white because me and all my friends are liberal and thats just not a fucking thing. Do they think it is? I have nothing but questions and none of them even make sense to ask so I can't imagine a sensible answer being given.

It's the classic "If you're used to privilege, equality feels like oppression." Guys like that and who votes for him want to be pampered and advantaged always. Giving others the same chances is thus classified under the dog whistle "apologizing die being white."

We will chalk up white guys apologizing right along with all those people trying to cancel Christmas.

They can’t attack others unless they’re seen as victims first. It’s really fucking stupid, but the morons that voted for them eat it up- so, it’s effective.

Omg did you even say thank you?

They're to moronic to realize we can just not be racist assholes, no need to apologize for our ancestors that were.

I occasionally apologize for being white when I roll up my pants legs in direct sunlight, but I don't think that's what he's talking about.

No, no. I think you're on to something here. I do this too.
