White people know that their ancestors did some messed up things. As a result, it has become hard wired for them to apologize for almost anything.
In fact, white people are so used to apologizing that they start all sentences that might cause disagreement with “I’m sorry.” For example “I’m sorry, but Garden State was a better film than Hard Eight.”
In other cases, white people will apologize without being asked.
“Excuse me Dylan, you dropped a piece of paper in front of my desk.”
“Oh, sorry about that!”
It’s just that easy! Just point it out and they’ll apologize.
Sometimes if you are out late at night and a white person irritates someone at a night club or a bar, the first thing they will do is apologize in rapid fire mode in hopes it will stop them from getting their ass kicked. This technique has a surprisingly high success rate, as the aggressor immediately knows that fighting this person will be very easy, with little satisfaction.
I’m sorry, but this blog is a hilarious, keep it up!
I love this site, and its articles.
Everyone has a purpose,
Chinese for their cheap labor,
Indians for their food,
Europeans for their Engineering,
Africans for their athletics and
The funniest race of them all, the “White People” put on earth to entertain the other races.
So freakin sorry but it’s totally true, oh us white peeps.
tah-tah,
Shapes of Sweetness.com
totally true! In fact it’s so true, I’m never going to apologize to anyone again in my life!
I agree–hilarious! I’m sorry, that wasn’t very original.
I’m sorry, but you are so wrong about us!!!
You obviously don’t know many Scotch-Irish. “Born Fighting” anyone?
If anything, the Scots-Irish will LOOK for a fight. Examples: McCain, Russell Crowe.
Maybe upper-class WASPS apologize, and live to say they’re sorry, but Scots-Irish or Italians don’t. “You lookin at me? You lookin at me?” Like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, many figure the real problem is not enough fighting, and don’t feel guilty about anything at all.
[…] My favorite so far is #55. […]
Sorry Jim but many whites don’t consider Italians as “white”.
(I can’t believe i started out by saying “sorry” lol.
Jim, who thinks the real problem is not enough fighting? that’s ridiculous
White people also constantly “bless you” when somebody sneezes. Hey, thanks, fellow white person, for saving me from evil spirits. They almost entered my soul when I sneezed just then! Don’t be offended when I ignore you after your blessing. You’re a dumbass.
Sorry, I overflowed the toilet again.
Not only do white people apologize a lot, they even invented the board game “Sorry!”
If there is one thing that white people like better than apologies, it’s “thank yous”. If you want to blow a white person’s mind, next time one of them holds open a door for you don’t say “thank you”. The said white person will be more upset than when OJ was acquitted, give you a dirty look, and yell out “you’re welcome”!
And for the rest of the day they will tell everyone how people in the city are so rude.
I’ve had that happen! I don’t get mad when people don’t say thank-you, but this one time when I didn’t and wasn’t even thinking about it…this guy gets almost psycho. Casual impoliteness makes white people psycho! I think they also get mad when they ask “how are you?” and you reply “fine” or “alright”, but you don’t ask how they are. They really want you to ask them.
I don’t think white people say thank-you often… they are entitled to have people hold doors for them!
And the sorries are completely meaningless…
I’m sorry, but I respectfully disagree with the author. Please don’t become upset with me.
This entire blog is hilarious and its comedic purpose is evident, but I must say that is OH SO TRUE. As an AA woman in TN, full of our “Southern Hospitality”, I have always been encountered with a SORRY from white people even when the mishap had nothing to do with them. I’ve just accepted it for what it is. Besides, I’m sorry, thank you, and excuse me should be phrases that we ALL use in our daily encounters regardless of fault.
Oh come on, you don’t really believe we actually *are* sorry when we say it! We don’t even believe other White people when they say it. I mean, if you’re sorry about everything, you’re not really sorry about anything, right?
I mean, I never really care if someone brushes past me in the grocery store, why do we apologize for stupid shit like that? at least those people seem like they mean it, as opposed to other more important apologies you know people don’t mean. Ach, itz all so complex. Pass the free-range deli meat.
ROFL @ Muke…..so tru tru! Casual impoliteness does make white people psycho! hahahaha
I see white people get offended when they dine in Chinese restaurants. Being an azn who grew up in Australia myself, I do find Chinese restaurants waiters can be rude but it’s just a cultural thing – but white people really take it to heart.
Such a funny trivial observation! haha

The 6’4′, 240 lb. Slavic white guys who lay bricks and pour foundations all day will generally punch a hole through the head of some bigmouth fatass wannabe minority who doesn’t get his “respect”. Who are these white people? Middle class suburbanites who haven’t the faintest clue about reality?
so funny
I’m white and I never apologize for anything. Let’s fuck.
so wait, we’re (whitey) apologizing because of all the ruthless shit our ancestors did, but we’re also apologizing to get out of fighting?
whites don’t rule the world because they’re pussies…
black people ( especially huge female black people) love to say um hum when you say excuse me. Makes me want to say get out the way fat ass instead of excuse me. But I don’t cause I’m white.
[…] amazing authenticity. (Other entries that describe me pretty well: Apple Products, Kitchen Gadgets, Apologies. And the one about the Sunday New York Times is a dead ringer for my family, except for the part […]
hmmm if you think all white people say sorry all the time you should try talking to british pikies. or a man from glasgow.
i’m gunna start a blog ‘black kids today dont know what real racism is’
sorry
not .
oh oh or ‘ why can’t african americans make decent music anymore’ – i mean its just as shit as indie.
Whilst I love this site, and its articles #55 I cannot agree with.
I can never get apologies from my white friends!
Instead I get respnses like: ‘We tease you cos we love you.’ os ‘she’s got upset again’. Never the word Sorry.
[…] It’s just that easy! Just point it out and they’ll apologize.” – #55 Apologies […]
This becomes doubly true when the white person has worked retail, or customer service.
White people love white rappers. Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, El-P and Cage just to name a few.
This explains why I never hear an apology from people cutting me off, when I would apologize for displaying the same accidental behavior. I am going to try shouting, “Get out of my way, you inconsiderate piece of crap.”
do white people like walking fast?? or do black people just walk very slow??
hahaha
yeah. u got me.
i do that all the time. not as much in social sittiations but definetly at work
[…] #55 Apologies […]
The #1 thing that white people love, I’m surprised it’s not on here yet, is farting. You put two or more white guys together and within 5 minutes you are guaranteed a farting contest. One guy will fart and the others will laugh like they just heard the funniest joke of all time.
What do white women think of all the farting you ask? Well white women grow up around their fathers and brothers farting and laughing about it all the time and are shocked to meet someone who doesn’t fart out loud or doesn’t find farting funny. Every white woman at one point in her life has said “oh my husband farts all the time and blames it on the dog”.
Hey – thanks for buying one of my photos for this highly amusing blogpost. 🙂
go to canada and even the nonwhite people will apologize to you usually before they even say hello
So we can summarize by saying “white people have respect for their fellow human beings…. Black people do not.”
oh I guess that would be stereotyping and bigotry.
This is the funniest thing.The bad thing is, it’s true!
You could have waited until Sorry Day, when the Aussies apologized to their native types, to post this…
You’re confusing white people with canadians.
i’m loving your blog, and i have been a fan of your photographs for quite some time. anyway, i loved this one, i remember reading a part in one of bill brysons books about the exactly same thing. like if you go to a toll in your car and when you give the person money (if you dont have an auto card) we say “thank you”. thank you for what? taking my money?
keep up the blog, i find it funny and i’m asshamed to say that i fit into some of these steryotypes. jeeze white people are so predictable.
lol @ all the angry white people with no sense of humor commenting.
How does the expression go – oh yeah, “It’s better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission.”
White people would rather have your money than your respect. Reparations are expensive, apologies are free.
Pride is the sad loser’s substitute for self confidence.
I’m sorry, but this also applies to Japanese people, even more so. I learned that when I taught english in Japan.
I overheard this old white lady complaining about SARS and how she wised the japanese (cuz japn.ppl=chinese ppl) would “just stay over there”. When I looked at her she DID apologize quickly. Said she meant she wished the GERMS would stay over there and how she loved Japanese people, especially Mrs. Chen (maybe you know her). I think she was afraid I was going to jump her. She must’ve been a valued customer of Neiman-Marcus in beverly hills, because one of the staff approached and asked if there was a problem. Sigh.
I totally agree with this one I lived in an all girls dorm during college and white people would just see me walking down the hall and say sorry. It made me want to sream, so what if part of your sleeve touched the back of my shirt.
“Jim, who thinks the real problem is not enough fighting? that’s ridiculous”
Violence has quite definitivly solved every problem throughout history. =0)
I am so sorry, but I thought we learned this shit from Ru Paul, this constant apologizing?
yeah, the bless you police! i just want to sneeze and leave me alone!
True as hell about Glasgow. I think it’s illegal to be polite there. Remember that cab driver that got in a prolonged fist-fight with a terrorist who was ON FIRE? He was from Glasgow.
In response to
“white people have respect for their fellow human beings…. Black people do not.”
You would be racist because no one mentioned black people and you pretty much responded like a retaliation, when I don’t even think the writer is black.
BTW, I said the word racist to get attention (and irony, lol)
People, white or otherwise,usually do not apologize to strangers in order to express regret. They apologize to express friendly or harmless intentions to others who might otherwise take offense or react with hostility against what they perceive as an arrogant violation of personal space.
This is great! I apologize constantly.
Commenter Hugh Jordan is spot-on as well… I have a pathological need to bless everyone who sneezes in my vicinity… even if they are one of those multiple-sneeze people. I even annoy myself with this… but I can’t stop.
Go Canada! I’ve been surrounded by white people in Canada for more than eight years now and I’ve picked up this trait.
I say sorry for almost EVERYTHING.
Not sure if it’s on here, but another thing white people LOVE to do is teach ESL overseas.
“””White people know that their ancestors did some messed up things. As a result, it has become hard wired for them to apologize for almost anything.”””””””
Yeah, that´s right the guilt of our ancestors geneticaly passed unto us doesn´t let us sleep at night, so we have to apologize to blacks constantly. How could I rid myself of this unbeareable guilt? I just want t buy all the 22 inch rims of the world and hand them over to black folks!!!! Would that buy me some peace of mind? Wold you please forgive meeeee?????
It´s about time black people start taking responsibility for their fuck ups just as they take credit for their successes.
That´s the reason you black hate latinos so much. Because their success in american society undermines their whole being oppresed-feeling sorry for themselves theory. Latinos just got here, they took the broom from black guys hand, and gave it back as they moved upward…and that pisses blacks off
What’s really White is getting dragged though a Holocaust Museum, even when their uncles and grandfathers fought for the US side.

what is not sorry is this website. I didnt really get too much work done today because I cant stop reading this shit. Thank you white people!
this sorry-in-the-beginning-of-a-sentence works only in english
Its easier to ask for forgiveness, than to ask for permission.

Can someone translate for me. I only speak English.
The first thing they do is apologize in rapid succession? Are all the white people you know gay or do they work in cubicles?
Funny you mention fighting and whites. Minority recruitment has dropped for both the Army and Marines, as the percentage of whites fighting and dying goes up in our all volunteer military during the War on Terror.
I do remember back fondly how a fellow team leader and I got into it with eight guys (a mixture of various ethnic groups including some white guys) in a bar and they were the ones that ran away. Apologies? After being released from the hospital (hey, there were 8 of them), we went back and saw them going into another bar just down the street. My partner and I followed them into the bar and threw down some more. Guess who ran like cowards again?
There weren’t any apologies coming from this white boy.
Speaking of things white people like, a black guy once asked a friend of mine if white people were upset because there was BET and no White Entertainment Television to watch. My friend replied, “We already have it.” Seeing the confused look he got in response to his answer he answered, “BET. Black people are what white people find funny.”
On Les Poupés Russes:
…Right, well, I was talking to him one day, and he said to me, “Problem with you English guys is, you’re always saying ‘I’m sorry.’ All the time, you’re saying ‘I’m sorry about this, I’m sorry about that.'” And you know what? It’s actually true. We do say “I’m sorry” too much. What can I say? We’re sorry. I said to him, “I’m sorry about that. I apologize. But that’s it, you know? Nobody’s perfect.”
I’m not sorry. I am sorry people need to use ancient history to justify their absolute failure in life.

“I don’t think white people say thank-you often… they are entitled to have people hold doors for them!” -gold
As a woman with large boobs, doors frequently get opened for me, and I ALWAYS say thank you. Since I’m from the South, it’s usually thank you SIR or MA’AM to boot. Yeah, women opening doors for other women and men is a small, good thing the Women’s Lib movement produced…equality for all, dude! Anyway, the only people I’ve noticed that do NOT say thanks when I open a door for them is older gents (of any race) who possibly feel like I emasculated them somehow, by showing them simple courtesy.
this is fucking stupid… anyone with a brain apologizes without being asked… once someone has to ask you the person appologizing is bullshitting you to save face… apologies are for morons who don’t like taking responsibility for their actions… I guess that includes lots of white people, especially politicians, lawyers, and corporations, and the various other sociopathic elements of white society 😀
Remember the U-tube white liberals appologizing to the world for the re-election of President Bush. That was funny as hell.
Its true! The number of times I’ve had to bitch out at nightclubs to avoid getting stomped by 6’7″ black guys is pathetic, really. Whatever, I’d prefer to come across as a defenceless pussy rather than get my jaw re-attached in the emergency room…
[…] Agonizingly true 6 03 2008 Apologizing. […]
Apologies for white people have nothing to do with guilt.
It has to do with wanting absolute no confrontations whatsoever with nonwhites.
Why is that? Because whites have everything they will ever need in life. It doesn’t benefit whites to get into conflict over the more mundane aspects of life, like:
– Bumping into someone even though its not your fault
– Poor service from a nonwhite waiter/server
– Giving in to sleights/rudeness of nonwhites
Etc. etc.
It’s better for whites simply to let these potential confrontations go and apologize, simply so they can move on to living their great white lives. The rest of us might have more at stake in these smaller “battles” than whites do.
it should also be noted that white people love recieving apologies, regardless of what it’s for, because it does make them feel deserving and virtuous
You have never been to the south.
stuffwhitepeoplelife- saying sorry
being friends with black people cause there people too.
believing that in about a hundred years, slavery will be more forgotten, and racism will go away more then it is now.
you are the all seeing eye!
This post is hilarious, but I really think this site should be called “Guide to understanding the white liberal”, because I notice a lot of things here are liberal and metro area specific (ie my friend in Indiana didn’t get over half the jokes, and she’s white!). Still, it’s ridiculously accurate for the area I live in (Brooklyn).
I’m sorry but….this site is the funniest sh*t I have ever seen.
Puff puff pass on the literature….thanks.
Sorry.
… Sorry.
I see this happen a lot when I’m playing basketball with a few white guys. They immediately say “sorry” if they foul me. It’s an effing game that I am playing with YOU. If I want to risk my life and throw my body around while playing, then don’t apologize if you bump into me. It gets annoying
I’m sorry, but you nailed it!
This is probably the funniest blog I’ve read in a long, long time. I’m not white, and I love most (if not all) of the things listed here, and I STILL find it freaking hilarious!
Maybe I was white in a past life?
I am such a victim of this. Wow.
It’s true if you are working for a corporation (I’ve seen it), or if you are a politician, movie star or musician. But the rest of us could care less. I don’t apologize for crap unless I did it myself and even then I may not apologize.
Blacks seem to like to kidnap, gang-rape, torture, and murder white females. Google “Channon Christan”. Then google “Wichita Massacre”.
This is the standard I use when apologizing to black people. “Is what I just did to this person as bad as what blacks did to Channon Christian?” If the answer is no, then no apology.
I don’t really apologize that often.
PS. I can tell you something else black people DON’T like, TIPPING! Ask any waitress.
Sorry to say, but the truth about our apologies is that they are completely meaningless. I’m truly sorry to tell you though.
ahahahahahahahashahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
It seems some white people are really getting mad at this ahahahhaahhahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahhahahaha

It’s weird. So few of the comments–very few–mention that this is not really a joke (a big blog sized joke) about what white people like, but rather a joke about what 30 something white (WASP) people with middle class aspirations/world-views living in the northeastern United States like. My parents totally would not relate to any of this stuff, but I see myself (in something like horror and amusement and smug self-congratulation) in 90% of these posts.
sorry, but i’d take gratuitous apologies over gratuitous bullets (caps if you will)
love this site, cracks me up
white, but not quite this white, but closer to being this white then not
Ha, I actually stopped saying sorry long ago. Instead you say something like, excuse me, I did not know you were standing there. I only use sorry if I actually AM sorry, which is only on the rare time I am sorry…we usually aren’t all that sorry truth be told.
I do not apologize, I say hey, you dropped a piece of paper in front of my desk you f&*king @assh*le. Not all white people like to say “I’m sorry”, I often times find saying “F&*k y&*” is far more please and commands better results.
I don’t get it. What is there to apologize for? As a civilization, white people won. Fuck that apology shit

unfortunately, they don’t fit into any other racial labels that white people have come up with (e.g. african-american, caucasian, native american….), so they are “technically” white. i didn’t apologize because i’m only half white. haha
Sorry about that.
“Everyone has a purpose…”
…Italians for their big garlic noses, as pointed out by Barack Obama’s former pastor Reverend Wright. Here’s a long letter from the Order Sons of Italy asking for an apology.
Start of Demand for Apology:
“We write on behalf of the 103 year old Order Sons of Italy in America (OSIA) and our 550,000 family members throughout the nation, and our anti-defamation arm, the Commission for Social Justice (CSJ), to strongly and unequivocally reject and condemn recently reported remarks made by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. According to MSNBC and other published and internet sources, Rev. Wright in 2007 stated: “[Jesus’] enemies had their opinion about Him . . . . The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.” He then called Jesus’ crucifixion “a public lynching Italian style” executed in “Apartheid Rome”.
OSIA and the CSJ have sterling records of championing social justice and fair treatment for all people regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality or religion, and of combating, wherever and whenever necessary discrimination, defamation and stereotyping. We have worked closely, collaboratively and effectively for such causes with numerous and various social , religious and cultural groups throughout our long history. The civically responsible, philanthropic and patriotic works of the Sons of Italy have been publicly attested to by every US president since Woodrow Wilson.
Indeed, it is this unchallenged record of advocacy of social justice for all people that has delayed our response to Rev. Wright’s unfortunate remarks, as we seek to lend reason and clarity to a deeply troubling historical reality. Rev. Wright’s remarks cannot merely be attributed to “anger”, but must be viewed against the backdrop of many years of what historian Richard Gambino called a “monstrous tradition in America” and an “injustice which remains hidden” directed at Italians.
While America of the late 19th century witnessed widespread racist, ethnic and anti-Catholic hatred, few immigrant groups suffered more than Italians: in 1891, in New Orleans, ten Italian prisoners found not guilty by a jury were executed by a mob in the largest lynching in American history. That same year, several Italians were lynched in West Virginia. In March 1894, several hundred Italians were driven out of Altoona, Pennsylvania, by an armed mob. In 1895, six Italian labor organizers were lynched in Colorado, six more in Hahnville, Louisiana, as were five Italian shopkeepers four years later in Tallulah, La. Fatal mob attacks against Italians were recorded in 1901, in Mississippi, 1906 in West Virginia, and 1910 in Tampa, Fl. In addition to the highly prejudicial and legally tainted Sacco and Vanzetti case of the 1920s, historian John Higham wrote that “No pogrom has ever stained American soil, nor did any single anti-Jewish incident in the 1920’s match the violence of the [vigilante mob-led] anti-Italian riot ” in West Frankfort, Illinois.
Words are important and have meaning, clear and subliminal. Shock jock Don Imus, whose very staple and basis for earning many millions of dollars, is the use of provocative, abrasive, demeaning and edge language, was fired and universally excoriated for the use of three extremely offensive and inappropriate words. A skilled communicator, Rev. Wright’s deliberate choice of words having explicitly 20th century meaning (“lynching Italian style”, “Apartheid”, even “Italians”; there were Romans at the time, Italy didn’t exist) to describe first century AD events speak to an intention far beyond the expression of mere “anger”, or the citing of putative historical truths. We decry those intentions and sentiments as, we are confident, do all decent and fair-minded individuals. Rev. Wright, while perhaps retired, nevertheless owes all Italian Americans a sincere apology. We live in a profoundly complex, multifaceted, diverse society, which defies simplistic questions, answers and reasons. We must transcend personal injustices and seek a deeper understanding and appreciation that each of us, separately and as a group, often are and feel offended. No one has a monopoly on being discriminated against, defamed or stereotyped.
OSIA’s and the CSJ’s purpose here is not political. We desire no involvement in the current presidential campaign, nor do we wish to become embroiled in a political maelstrom. Still, one of the three candidates will, in all probability, become the next leader of the free world and the next president, thus representing all of the US’s 300 million-plus citizens, 26 million of whom are of Italian heritage. We believe that Senators Clinton, McCain and Obama must unequivocally condemn the words and sentiments voiced by Rev. Wright, and clearly disavow his actions.”

Hey, it’s me, an interracial guy (black/white).
The other day I really offended my black side when I said that Bill Clinton really wasn’t an “honorary” black man. That TOTALLY perturbed the part of me that was black, but, alas no apology was forthcoming from the part of me that is, in fact, black.
Later on, my clearly loyaly, apologetic, but willing to take a stand white side, told my black side it wasn’t gonna vote for Obama as a protest vote due to the apparent disloyalty to Bill – it was an act of loyalty to Mr. Clinton. My white side thought better of this and immediately apologized to my black side, and said “that wasn’t cool of me bro”. Exact words.
Apparently, my black side would have none of the apology. I woke up the next morning with a purple eye (not a “black”eye) and a very sore hand.

I’m sure the Native Americans had the same thoughts (about staying “over there” that is.)
I think it’s just because white parents tend to raise they’re children to show respect for others. I know mine did. So if i accidently step on your foot at the grocery store, I will most likely apologies immediately out common decency to show that I have respect for you. I think this is a mentality that all races should adopt. And the idea that we really just feel guilty for what our ancestors did is a bunch of crap. But that’s just my opinion.
I’m glad someone else has noticed this too. I find a nicely placed elbowworks nicely in this situation, but you had better have your gettaway route planned!
Love it.
“Excuse me” is itself an apology.
Why the hell do we apologize for noticing someone else did something dumb??
“And the sorries are completely meaningless…”
I’ve always had a distrust of white people and this is one of the reasons. Some are too diplomatic. So much so that you know the words are closely chosen and disingenuous. I know they’re trying to be kind and inoffensive but it comes across as fake.
Are you a slavic white guy? If so, what are you doing with a computer???
Not online you don’t. In real life you’d turn into a shoe shine expert if you step on my toe.
Rule the world…no. Pussies…most are. From the CEO down to the guy in the mail room.
a bit off subject but to answer your question…we don’t have to. white america eats up our “superman that hoe” and other similar tracks. so now young talentless high school kids are able to run the industry.
also…show some respect. without us you wouldn’t have rock (which i love) or jazz.
those are the white people i like…
hahaha!! when did you learn the respect for fellow human beings? after slavery…maybe after the civil rights movement…after the rodney king beating perhaps.
most white people are scared of black people. it’s been proven…see the link below.
http://www.diversityinc.com/public/3370.cfm
Wow. This obviously means that we need apologies all around. Way to go living up to the white stereotype, dudes!
I’m sure he’ll apologize for posting a blog posting that you disagree with. It’s the white thing to do, y’know?
‘We tease you cos we love you”
Very white thing to say. Its not cause they like you, either. They just find you a push over and they are taking their inferiority out on you
Wops are are so sensitive. They should shield themselves from the hatred using their large garlic noses.
No, i’d say you’re more of a dip$%#@!
LMAO
What is incredibly un-white is to be ignorant of grammar. When you folks use periods or commas in conjunction with quotation marks, the periods and commas go inside the quotation marks. To wit: I think that this site is incredibly accurate and funny but i disagree with the statement:”White people know that their ancestors did some messed up things.” We are Americans, and if you don’t know how to punctuate your pithy little comments, if makes you appear stupid and invalidates any legitimate point that you may have.
Now, this blog is incredibly funny and insightful, I agree. However, it does not describe white people so much as it describes white liberals. Most of those red state, dumbshit-repubilcans cannot identify with this blog. They are troglodyte bible thumpers who remain willfully ignorant of the world around them. Let them come to Portland or San Francisco; we will make them cry……These fools can’t debate their way out of a paper bag. Did I mention that i HATE republicans?
I apologize, but you hurt my feelings.
We don’t like it, we’re just the only one’s that are forced to do it, otherwise we’re racist and inconsiderate. It’s a sad sad world.

Aren’t Europeans…white people? Yea…yea, they are. So I guess we entertain the other races with our engineering. Strange.
The best apology ‘in a film’ ever, however is not from a white person!
“I’m sorry! Did I break your concentration?”
(now back to business) Does the kind of Stuff White People Like include things like Truth, Equality, and Justice?

Mark Zuckerberg Facebook CEO, how about an apology.
I know a child who was distraught after being subjected to cyber-bullying through Honesty Box. I emailed my concerns to Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and Founder of Facebook.

Eh- no.
depending what the situation is white people will apologize for it. But yeah totally if a white person thinks they are going to get their ass kicked then yes they will definately start apolgizing rapidly enventhough they are already in deep shit! but if a lot of times if white people feel they were right or wronged then they will hold a grudge!
[…] #55 Apologies […]
Errr….was that from the Mafia?
So true. I grew up in Indiana and now live in Seattle. It’s like being on another planet sometimes.
And I can’t believe you still use ‘lol’ on the Internet.
I’m sorry on behalf of all Australians for bringing civilisation to aboriginals.
Italians are useful for greasing up deep dish pans with their foreheads. I’ma lovin’a me some Pizza Hut! It’s Amore!
Oh ok, I won’t appologize next time, i’ll go fcking apeshit with 16 inch Steel Telescopic Collapsible Baton next time i bump into someone at the club.
Your posts are off and only applies to Americans.
I’f you didn’t feel racist why are you anonymous? Sniffing glue? that sounds like something a white person would do.
STUFFWHITEPEOPLELIKE-SUICIDE, GO KILL YOURSELF TWO TIMES.
thats because their on to your bullshit apology. If you bothered her trust me you would have gotten an elbow.
whites don’t have the balls to show it. they can only think about it…thats why they apologize all the time. (we can’t read your minds you don’t have to apologize.)
children should not have facebook anyway
your living in a dream world. there will always be racism just not shown with aggression. You can’t spell either….there or their.
your ignorant. all ”black people” are not responsible for those murders. there are tons…excuse me, thousands of black people that have been killed by whites. Just ask emitt tills mother. most recently the 20 year old AA boy who was shot in the back by the white police officer that lied, saying the boy had a gun and he didn’t .
Damn damn, how are you always the second person to comment the same time you poop your pants. Your timing is impeccable.
He isn’t. He’s being provocative. That being said, it is ironic that some people use his idiotic comments as an excuse to be racist themselves (the irony being that this website is supposed to attract the ‘right type’ of white people, who of course would never make these sort of comments).
Clearly, I am not a white person, as white people hate having irony explained :-p
Are you implying that black people are more violent that white people?
I’m sorry you feel that way, relax!
Nah, these posts totally apply to other white people, just seems that ways cause its from an american pov.
not as sorry as the aboriginals I bet
I always say Sorry .. cause it kind of covers up any awkward things after something is done
No again. I detest it because I’m usually not sorry, making an apology a lie.
The office where I work has only a few feet of space between the long desk the 3 of us share & the wall, which happens to have 2 shelves running the length of it. Every time I have to use the printer/copier, I have to slide my bulk behind the girl who sits in front of it (she’s a twig & I’m a chunk). With her chair up to the desk as far as it will go, I still manage to bump it or rub past it, which causes an immediate, “I’m sorry” from her!
Not that I haven’t done my share of apologizing for being in her way…
I aint sorry for shit!
Ive come on this to the conclusion that the reason white people like all of the shit on this website is the following:
If you got it like that why not experience more with your life.
Shit I golf, snowboard, rockclimb, mountain bike, live in manhattan, drive a fat asS bmw suv, fuck asian women, have plenty of black friends, got sweaters and motherfuckin t-shirts that I’LL wear on a plane to San FraCisco if I damn well fell like it. Shit Ill Even invite my lawyer to my beach house on a sunday for coffee maybe some tea while we read the fuckin New York Times. Yes the Liberal rag that sweats Barack Obama. After that we will indulge in some microbrews on my vintage sail boat.
When I get Bored ill travel the fuck where I want probably to snowboard somewhere usually Utah the whitest fuckin state there is. Ill take in some wine before I watch a film at sundance while I am there.
Just for a challenge I will go to a farmers market get some organic shit go home and order some sushi. You see I am trying to get in shape to run a fuckin marathon. After I finish the first thing I am going to do is shut of my i-pod loaded with free music, grab some bottled water and spark a fat mother fuckin spliff!!!!
YEAH I LOVE BEING AWARE OF DIVERSITY.
HOWEVER THE IRONY OF THIS WHOLE THING IS BEING WHITE FOR ME ONLY FOR ME!!! kICKS BIGTIME ASS!!
[…] must have been meant for someone else. This will cause your white person to turn red and start to stammer, because they will have no idea what to say to you and may even have difficulty looking at you. […]
ARGH! Die in a fire! Stop posting your lame, non-funny comment on every other blog. 😡
So true. I apologize all the time. I guess I just can’t deal with my imperialist heritage.
I think you should include a section about Canadian’s having more advanced white behavior with regards to apologizing. We can’t stop doing it, especially when things aren’t our fault (having our toes stepped on at a concert, etc.).
Excuse me Mr. Lander, but your grammar is improper in the first sentence of the last paragraph. That’s suprising considering you have a “book deal.”
man you are observation genius and your site is better than best.
Now what they should go into is how “apologies” and “being offended” go hand in hand to create such situations as the “Don Imus” incident and the “Mel Gibson” incident. It’s incredible that once upon a time, this country was all about freedom of speech instead of parading around crying like a bunch of sissies with hurt feelings.
See like I think it has nothing to do with imperialist heritage (I know this is a satirical site, I’m just adding to the dialogue or multilogue as the case might be). In my case my people were Jews – and c’mon, say all you will about Israel being the great Satan, Allah Allah Muhammud (peace be upon him), but let’s be realistic here. We’re not empire builders. We’re more prone to get our asses violently handed to us throughout history than to try and do ass-handing of our own.
I apologize though. A lot. Mainly because I am ridden with a horrible guilt complex, but also because you’re right – we do seem to apologize for a lotta shit. Interesting!
I get the point of this, I don’t see why I should have to apologise for something somebody else did. All this does is encourages people to identify the self with their ethnicity, which is what caused the problem in the first place.
Be white for yourself? Open Mind, have we taken our meds today?
Classic multi-level douchery in a compact psychotic rant. Sir, you are an advanced white person.
the only time i might apologize is after i beat dem up…after kicking fuck out of dem so bad…
they’re also “not gonna lie, but…”
man… that is SOOOO true of white people…………. always apologising (do they ever mean it?)……………. they’ve made the word “sorry” a cliche for us whose first language isn’t English…
I’M sorry we didn’t do a better job teaching you English.
Apologize. Apologizing. It’s not too difficult.
the Z was caused by an american who thought he knew english, i apologise
I never apologize, I don’t know where these people find these white people, they sure aren’t where I live
Well… he happens to be black…
-George Carlin-
I mean it’s pretty simple; It’s just a word that seems to have been conditioned into lessened meaning. “Sorry” is sort of like “whoops”. It’s also used more as a word to emphasize a contrast in opinions or even add some humor: “I’m sorry, but I just have to say…”
You Americans are amateurs at apologising.
Our new national Government in Australia’s first act was to apologise for the mistreatment of our indigenous people (as an aside it’s true they were/are mistreated).
It must have worked because the Indigenous men-folk decided to apologise to their women for drinking too much and abusing them.
And we have a national Sorry day, and they’ve got these big books you can sign to show people how really really sorry you are.
Precisely.
And now manners are “white” too. Great.
Would it kill the funny to point out that the “s” in apologize is a British/American distinction?
You can find them near their homes on the water, farmers’ markets, Apple Stores, In nature, proof reading papers, etc…this site will help you find them.
[…] these people have a wire tap directly into my brain (see Grammar, Bad Memories of High School and Apologies), which would be deeply disturbing if it wasn’t so hilarious. And I should point out that this […]
the ultimate ‘almost apology’…..
“mistakes were made and we regret……..yada yada yada….”
This dude that thinks we are getting married called me today from work just to apologize. It didn’t help that he is a douche.
This is really the only post that rings true for me. There are a few things that I do like listed on this blog, but I never find anything I relate to in the description. I always find myself apologizing even when there is no need. Is it because deep down I’m sorry my ancestors whipped slaves? Nah.
[…] did something wrong. but i also don’t think it’s good to get guilty-minded, and start apologizing for everything. there’s a sweet and genuine spot called ownership. i think as a leader it is […]
i apologize all the time for little things but im not white and i have white friends that are complete jerks to people and never say sorry but i do see white people apologizing about things all the time more than any other color of people
Reading these comments has me thinking that maybe those white supremacists have every right to their beliefs. I’m surprised at everyones hatred towards polite white people.
Grow up and get on with your day.
I DO apologize for everything. Even if it’s the other persons fault and they’re completely rude about it…especially if they’re black.
now that is mighty white of you Duh!!!…..LOL…
supremacist |səˈpreməsist; soō-|
noun
an advocate of the supremacy of a particular group, esp. one determined by race or sex; white supremacist
yea Joe…..and ‘polite’ non-white people who are offended by what you just stated, should they become bigoted as you suggest?
Grow up and get over it……
I’m white and unashamed. I’m not apologising for anything. Every historical wrongs my ancestors may have perpetrated against other races have also been perpetrated by non-whites all throughout history.
For example…
Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide:
* Black on black genocide in Rwanda of Tutsis and Hutus.
* Genocide of Armenians by Turks.
* Ethnic cleansing of Tibetans by Chinese.
* Ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by Jews.
Slavery:
* Enslavement of blacks and white Christians by Arab slave traders.
* Black on black slavery between rival African tribes (after all, whitey did buy his black slaves from other blacks).
* Black on black slavery in present day Sudan.
*Enslavement of white Eastern European women in Israel by jewish mobsters.
* Jewish involvement in the transatlantic slave trade.
Conquest and colonialism:
* Moorish invasion & occupation of Spain and Portugal.
* Turkish invasion & occupation of the Balkans.
* Chinese invasion & occupation of Tibet.
* Japanese invasion & occupation of China and South East Asia.
* Jewish invasion & occupation of Palestine.
Whites are not a uniquely guilty race. But we are perhaps a uniquely successful one. That is the real reason non-whites envy and hate us and long for our downfall.
P.S
I just realised I forgot to mention the Mongol invasions of Russia and eastern Europe as an example of non-white conquest and slaughter.
A uniquely successful race? Could you possibly be more racist? I’m sorry, but I think not.
It’s merely the truth. No other race on earth has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as white Europeans have. No single black man has ever changed the world as profoundly as the Wright brothers or Alexander Graham Bell did for example.
When one considers white contributions to things like science, technology, engineering, agriculture, medicine, architecture, art, literature, philosophy, civics, exploration etc, it is simply undeniable that we are a uniquely successful, creative and productive race.
Our extinction would be the earth’s great loss. The brown masses that would love to see us disappear think that by killing the golden goose they will get to keep all the golden eggs. But without the goose no more eggs will be laid, so really it’s in their own interest to ensure that we white people don’t become extinct.
If you still need more convincing then just ask yourself why the colored masses of the world are so keen to migrate into white countries to enjoy the good life. Why can’t they use their own abilities to make their own countries nicer places to live?
Nobody handed the white man what he has today on a silver plate. Everything the white man has is the result of his own ambition, ingenuity and plain old hard work and sacrifice.
If the races are all equal then why can’t blacks use this same ambition, ingenuity, drive to work hard and sacrifice for the greater good to make their own countries successful so they don’t feel the need to swarm into successful white countries for a chance at a better life?
Let me guess, it’s whitey’s fault that they can’t do these things…right?
This blog doesn’t highly bother me but its funny, if I wrote this blog but put black where whites are you would call me racist.
I’m sick of all this double standards shit.
If your going to continue being narrow minded and cant take other peoples opinions without calling them white supremacists or racists stop writing stupid blogs.
Mr. Daniel, you never stated WHO are your ancestors….we know that their skin was white (from the information you’ve provided), but we don’t know who are your ancestors….
Are they English, French, Italian???……or are you just claiming everyone who happens to be white??..
Unfortunately for you and your argument, your skin color DOES NOT maketh a heritage….it is just one of MANY ways to describe someone physically……white skin has done nothing in history except cover the inner parts of the wearers’ body….. white skin is NOT a race…but it is one of many physical variations of the HUMAN SPECIES….
species |ˈspēsēz; – sh ēz|
noun ( pl. same)
1 (abbr.: sp., spp.) Biology a group of living organisms consisting of similar individuals capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding.
Get over this ‘skin color’ thing….Your arguing for your skin color is like me arguing for people with big toes; they have conquered the world many times over…..thus people with big toes are uniquely successful among all people…
Can you see the foolishness in both arguments??
Daniel, all I have to say it this…….If you agree that at this moment, the United States of America is the most powerful country in the world, and that the USA is 80% white, and for the most part, Europe follows our lead…..
If you agree with all of the above, then all i have to say is
Barack Obama.
PS: Let me make it crystal clear for you:
You said that “no other race has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as White Europeans…”
I say that since the US is the trend setter (leader) of the free world, and our leader is AFRICAN AMERICAN, then one can come to the conclusion that ALL WHITES are under the leadership of a BLACK MAN…….
You said that: ‘…No single black man has ever changed the world as profoundly as the Wright brothers or Alexander Graham Bell did for example….”
I say: who is the leader that the world knows as of now, and who has the power to change the world profoundly (we don’t know yet if it will be good or bad, BUT he as the POWER to do so)…BARACK OBAMA..
I could have pointed out in history where your statements were patently incorrect but i chose the easy way….a way that you would understand in the moment…..you can talk about what black folk have not and did not do til the cows come home, but you will KNOW that your leader in these United States IS A BLACK MAN…..
And you will LIKE IT…
People who state IGNORANT opinions at the EXPENSE of others will be called out for it……
There is NO HUMOR in ignorance……
ignorance |ˈignərəns|
noun
lack of knowledge or information
Um, I didn’t think young Barack had actually done anything yet – Isn’t Bush still the president? And remember he is half white – why isn’t he referred to as a white American (or whatever is currently politically correct) or just American for heaven’s sake. Maybe it is the white half that has made him a success – he was raised by his white mother and grandma after all! Nature or nurture?
Well said Daniel – I am sick of Europeans/whites being blamed for all that is bad in the world while the “noble savage” is revered yet as you point out they all want to migrate to the UK, USA, Australia etc.
K. Rudd, the new Prime Minister of Australia “apologised” to the aboriginals of the “Stolen generation” last year causing the the left wing elitists, artists, actors and assorted other bleeding hearts to nearly wet them selves and go into raptures and squawk about how they are no longer ashamed to be Australian blah blah blah. But they don’t do anything practical to help the problem as they see it – all talk no action
The only problem is, they aboriginals were not stolen, they were relinquished by their parents for a better life or removed for their own safety and health from the most apalling povery and abuse, especially half castes who were brualised and sometimes murdered. It was done with good intentions and not ideal as we see it these days but the great majority were better off. Hell, my mother was evacuated in the UK during WW11 by the government and sent away from her parents for 5 years, but it was considered the safest thing then. Was she stolen?
Billions of dollars have been thrown at them but still the left wingers wring their hands and moan about them living in apalling conditions. It’s not our fault that they tear down their government provided house to use for firewood and create the most appalling flthy conditions. Clean up your own mess!
But the elite left wingers love feeling guilty even to the extent of thanking the “traditional owners” of the land for allowing us the honor of being on it at speeches and government acivities (puke!).
This has created the “career aboriginal”. at a recent work conference, after a grovelling thankyou to the local tribe for allowing us to be there, we were treated to a lecture from a 40 something chap who had only found out he was aboriginal when he was 35! He was 1/16th aboriginal or something, but finding this out has meant he can earn a good living lecturning whites about his ‘history”. talk about drawing a long straw! I don’t know if he recognises his white roots!!
Excuse me Zoe, but wasn’t Australia colonized originally as a Penal Colony?..
I would suggest that you read the history of your country…. you will find out that the very attitude you espouse against the Aboriginal people was the very same attitude that got your ancestors shipped to Australia….
..During the beginning of the Industrial Age in Britain, the British government wanted to get rid of excess their ‘poor people’, who were doing criminal things, such as trying to find enough food to live on, trying to find shelter, trying to find jobs…The British thought the very same way about your ancestors as you are thinking about the Aboriginals:
“…Billions of dollars have been thrown at them (the poor brits and Scottish and Irish) but still the left wingers wring their hands and moan about them living in apalling conditions. (The British government says) It’s not our fault that they tear down their government provided house to use for firewood and create the most appalling flthy conditions….”….Your words could be easily transferred to the early 19th century….
The ONLY difference is that your government could not ship the aboriginals off to a far away land….so they did the next best thing, they provided money and services AFTER they failed with the ‘integration’ plan to force the aboriginals to ‘be like the majority’…
Here in the US, we had the very same plan (in the late 19th-early 20th century) for american indians that the australian gov’t used on the aboriginals…..it failed just as it did in Australia….but instead of giving the american indians money, the government put them on reservations….
Out of sight, out of mind…..
Zoe says: “…And remember he is half white – why isn’t he referred to as a white American (or whatever is currently politically correct) or just American for heaven’s sake….”
I say: If Zoe had not known Obama’s life’s story, would she call him half-white???….And from what Zoe has written previously, the answer would be an EMPHATIC NO.
It is funny to hear white folk NOW claim the half-white side of Obama now that he is president….during the whole campaign, white people referred to him as BLACK, not half-white…and the reason they referred to him as black is because white people, such as yourself Zoe, emphasize skin color….when convenient for yourselves…..
Had he lost the election, he would have been catagorized as a Black man who did not get elected, just like, say, Jesse Jackson…..BUT, he won, thus white folk do not want to miss out on the prestige of having one of ‘their kind’ in the white house….
Sorry Zoe, but here in the US, american law says that you are Black if you have 1/32 black blood….in other words, white american law says if your GRANDMOTHER was black, no matter how light or white you look, you are BLACK….not half-white, but BLACK…
Period.
so true!
So NOT true!!!!
Dear louiecoolgato, I’m defending “white people” because that’s what this site is about (in case you missed it the name of this site is “stuff white people like”, check it again up top if still unsure). So since whites are being attacked as a whole I’m defending them as a whole. If you have a problem with the skin color classification then perhaps you need to take it up with the creators of this site, not me.
To answer your question as to my specific heritage, I have a very diverse mixture of European blood which includes Irish, English, German, Swedish and Portugeuse blood. You think having my roots extend all over Europe might have something to do with why I identify with all the peoples of Europe and regard them as my kin?
I think you need to get over the skin color thing. I talk of a “white” race because to most people common sense tells them I mean all the native peoples of Europe when I use the term. It’s simply easier than saying something like “peoples of European extraction” or whatever else you self-appointed pc police would like to have us say.
America is not 80% white. It’s more like 60-65% white and falling rapidly. In fact a recent study by the US Census Bureau found that white Americans will be an ethnic minority in the United States by 2042, though I think it will be even sooner as millions upon millions more mestizos pour over the mexican border illegally.
I love it how people are clinging to the hope that Obama is going to be some great saviour for the American people. I wonder how the blacks will feel 4 years from now when they realise that Obama hasn’t made them all millionaires and they’re still living in crime infested ghettos as they were before.
I wonder if the white liberals who voted for Obama will wake up once they and their children start to feel the sting of more affirmative action and the financial meltdown the government has managed to temporarily postpone.
In any case I don’t really think Obama is all that relevant. No American president is. I’m more worried about the people who own the president. The special interest groups like AIPAC that poured money into Obama’s campaign in return for being able to call the shots if he got elected. Those are the people with the real power. The president is just a front man for the public.
The only difference is that now the front man is in black face.
louiecoolgato, it’s great to see that you don’t mind falsifying history to support your world view.
One can’t say the same of poor whites in England in the 18th century that one can say of the aboriginals. Poor whites were sent to Australia because they were stealing to eat. The British government gave them nothing. The society was breaking down because of overcrowding. These people would have gladly worked if they were given the chance, but there were no jobs for them. But when they got to Australia they were happy to work and they set about building what became a great industrialised, prosperous first world nation.
The aboriginals on the other hand have been given heaps from our government. They actually do get given houses by the government which they really do destroy. They receive more money from welfare than any white Australian could hope to get and there’s all kinds of programs aimed at helping them help themselves into work and to get educated. But they show no drive at all to better themselves. Their attitude is that they don’t have to better themselves. The white man owes them everything and that’s that.
There is no comparison between the convict pioneers of my nation and the modern day Australian aboriginal.

You are quite correct in saying that the comparison between aboriginals and poor whites is an unfair comparison Daniel…I forgot to state that the poor whites who came to Australia tried to commit GENOCIDE on the aboriginal people in order to establish their colonies….
So your justification of giving ‘heaps of money’ from your government to the aboriginals is comparable to giving ‘blood money’ to atone for the sins of past whites…
How can you claim ‘peoples of Europe’ as your kin, when EUROPEANS THEMSELVES do not claim to be KIN to each other, Daniel?
As for your defense of ‘white people’….you are defending something that is indefensible….white skin does NOT need defending….it is JUST SKIN……
BUT…..If you are defending what white skin REPRESENTS, then I am well within my rights to correct you if you state incorrect statements…..you state:
“…I talk of a “white” race because to most people common sense tells them I mean all the native peoples of Europe when I use the term…”
I will state that when you use ‘white race’, and if you are an American, your statement is an outright LIE….the US was built and still institute laws based on race, with the ‘white race’ being favored in those laws……If you are European or Australian, then I could give you a pass on your definition because you are not familiar with the ingrained racism in the history of the US….
As for your ‘PC’ statement, i will take it as typical reactions i get from white people who do not like what a non-white is saying to them…
Daniel, I never said that Obama was in any way a ‘savior’ to the american people….what i said is that Obama REPRESENTS something that has NEVER OCCURRED in this country….and white people of your ilk do not like it….
What does he represent? He is the leader of the US and he is NOT LIKE the majority of americans….which is WHITE…..and that is where all of your anger and yapping about liberalism and conservatism and all that other anti-Obama rhetoric is about…
a NON-WHITE (as defined by american law) representing WHITE PEOPLE in a majority WHITE country…..that is where all of your pain originates….
well let me tell you this Daniel, GET OVER IT!…..
If Obama does well or not, it is not MY POINT that i am trying to make…my point is simple, and a fact….WHITE PEOPLE like yourself ARE NOW represented in the world by an AFRICAN AMERICAN (or if you want to call him BLACK, OR HALF-WHITE, whatever…the bottom line is, he is NOT ALL WHITE as were your previous 43 presidents)…he will have all the issues and problems of the other 43 presidents, maybe more, BUT….
He is now YOUR PRESIDENT and you are gonna have to live with it for four years!….you may ‘defend the white race’ all you want but guess who’s on the front page of your ‘white race’ in america??…..It sure ain’t a white man!!!
So go and cry about AIPAC, and liberalism, and all that other bullshit you want to talk about…..it does not change the fact that all liberals and all conservatives and all greens are represented by a non-white….be it good or bad….It is what it is…..
DEAL WITH IT….
You know nothing about my country. We did not try to genocide the aboriginals. If we’d wanted to we could have easily done it. But the problem for you is that there are still plenty of aboriginals here today. In fact, there’s probably more here now than there ever was, since this continent wasn’t all that densely populated when we whites came here. A few tribes scattered over a huge land mass, the bulk of which wasn’t suitable for supporting much human life.
There were bad things done against the aboriginals but it wasn’t official government policy to wipe them out. White men were also executed here for unjustly killing aboriginals. You have to remember that the British liked law and order, so whites couldn’t just go around killing whoever they pleased without fear of punishment.
You should stick to falsifying the history of your own country, and leave my country out of it. In any case I’m through talking to you. I really don’t need to say anything more and it’s pointless trying to debate anything with you. Anyone who reads this exchange of words will see that your anti-white bias is pronounced, and your dislike for white people is felt in every letter you type.
So goodbye.
but you will KNOW that your leader in these United States IS A BLACK MAN…..
And you will LIKE IT…
You said that louiecoolgato, so who is obsessed about skin colour. In general, whites just get on with it and don’t have to measure the drops of different “coloured” blood in them to give themselves a label. Isn’t that a racist policy in itself to say that if someone has 1/32 part black blood they are considered black? Is black blood considered dominant? Imagine if it were the other way around! 1/32 part white blood and you are labelled “white”. I am sure that would go down well – not!
Luckily whites have better things to do like research, discovery and growth in the areas of science, technology, medicine etc. than obsess about their genetic makeup. Who cares?
The inauguration will be a laugh with the glitterati falling over themselves to orgasmically voice their delight. TYhey are such a pack of hypocrits flying around in their private jets to one of their mansions. What do they know about job loss and belt-tightening? Not much!
All this rapture over someone who has yet to do one thing for the betterment of mankind – all because he is “Black”. If that isn’t racist, then what is
Daniel says: “…There were bad things done against the aboriginals but it wasn’t official government policy to wipe them out…”
I NEVER said that it was official government policy to wipe out aboriginals, i said that POOR WHITES tried to kill off the aboriginals…
and you justify what i’ve stated Daniel…and i quote you: “..White men were also executed here for unjustly killing aboriginals. You have to remember that the British liked law and order, so whites couldn’t just go around killing whoever they pleased without fear of punishment….”
you DO KNOW who got the rope for these extrajudicial murders, do you not?……yup, those very POOR WHITES that i spoke about…..the British government NEVER executed a person of some means (wealth) for killing an aboriginal, and YOU KNOW THIS…
So get off your high horse and stop trying to sugar coat your history……BTW, the feeling is mutual…
“Anyone who reads this exchange of words will see that your anti-non-white bias is pronounced, and your dislike for non-white people is felt in every letter you type….”
If you look in my original statement on Australia, I did NOT say anything about RACE….YOU, Daniel, PROJECTED your racial beliefs into this dialogue, thus proving that you have issues with color…..
You are now dismissed, Daniel.
Good bye.
“peoples of European extraction” does not equal “white culture”..
Peoples of Europe are NOT a unified group of people, thus share NO universal culture among themselves….the ONLY thing they may have in common is their skin color….
But we all know that skin color does NOT represent a “culture”.
culture |ˈkəl ch ər|
noun
1 the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively
……thus, there is NO SUCH THING AS WHITE CULTURE.
Period.
oh, before the BIGOTS come out in force, I will also say that there is no such thing as BLACK CULTURE…..
African-american culture, yes, but black culture…..no.
It is OBVIOUS that you are not an American, Zoe, so i will give you a pass on some of the ignorant statements you’ve made…
For example: “..In general, whites just get on with it and don’t have to measure the drops of different “coloured” blood in them to give themselves a label….”
Now if you were a white american, you would not make such an IGNORANT statement as to ‘whites just get on with it and don’t have measure..etc, etc..’ BECAUSE whites in america DO judge people by this standard…..
If you came into the US, for example, and you look white, but you did not feel that you were white, and you ask the customs or immigration, or whoever is in the Census Dept., what should you check off as race…and you tell them that your GRANDMOTHER was black, then guess what?…by american law, no matter how blonde, blue eyed, pale white skinned you are…by american law….YOU ARE A BLACK PERSON in america..
#2 Ignorant statement made by Zoe: “..Luckily whites have better things to do like research, discovery and growth in the areas of science, technology, medicine etc. than obsess about their genetic makeup. Who cares?..”
You make this statement as if people with white skin have some special talent for the sciences…..since when does being ‘white’ equates to doing “research, discovery and growth in the areas of science, technology, medicine etc.”….Are there not non-whites who have special talents for the sciences who have better things to do than pay attention to race obsessed white people, like yourself?
If whites (especially here in America) did not obsess with race, then they would not use it to identify people……and your distain over Obama PROVES my statement that whites, like yourself, dislike the man because he is a NON-WHITE FACE representing a majority WHITE population…that is all it is…. by just using your words;
“…All this rapture over someone who has yet to do one thing for the betterment of mankind…”
Well, if he hasn’t done anything YET for the betterment of mankind, then why are you HATING ON HIM already?…Is it that white envy and jealousy rising to the surface, Zoe? I remember all of you Brits kissing Tony Blair’s ass BEFORE he did anything as prime minister…why?…because he got along with Pres. Clinton very well (and he and clinton looked youthful and powerful…pleeze)……It seems to me that you are more of a hypocrite than any of the people you show distain for, Zoe…
I will say this once more so you can think on it some more, Zoe:
…you can talk about what black folk have not and did not do til the cows come home, but you will KNOW that THE leader in these (majority white) United States IS A BLACK MAN…..
And you will LIKE IT…..
PS: and before you go and tell me that I am the one who is obsessing with race, think about this:
As long as you tell me that you are WHITE, then I will be black.
In other words, race obsession began with white people…and the only way race obsession will end is when white people STOP telling non-white people that they are white….
Um I have never actually referred to myself as white to anyone before. You sound as though you have a massive chip on your shoulder by the way louiecoolgato.
No I am not American and therefore do not really care who is president of your country – black white or brindle so
I won’t “love it” as you put it. I live in Australia
I am happy for you that a black man has made it to such high office. As I said at the beginning, what pisses me off is the fact that the celebrities and other assorted luvvies are carrying on as if he is the messiah;
1) because he is black
2) What do you actually think that he will do differently
3) when he hasn’t bloody well done anything yet!
4) These types love sneering and pouring scorn on conservative government heads and continually defend the actions of terrorists and despots because of their policies (which are usually identical to their left wing counter parts)
I can just imagine the uproar in your country if Bush had behaved like Clinton whilst in office and the absolute ridicule he would have received from the trendies. Now Clinton travels around the world like a super-hero earning millions. Talk about double standards
If the position was reversed and everyone was enraptured and orgasmic because a white man (as opposed to black) was elected, there would be an outrage at the outpourings of euphoria – that is all I am saying!
Parislibby, i will give you a pass on your IGNORANT statements, since YOU are not american, thus you know little to nothing about the history of non-whites in america…
And I find it ironic that an Aussie has negative comments on race relations in the US when in your own country, your government and people treat the aboriginals so terribly…..but that is another story..
You say that you don’t care what color the president is…well that is all well and good for an aussie to say….good for you…
You say that i seem to have a massive chip on my shoulder….YES, i do…..because i am sick and tired of some ignorant WHITE people say stupid things about non-whites…I am not going to let that bullshit slide….it is my joy to correct and explain….
White folk have had a pass for too long to define what non-white people are in the US, and now those days are over…mainly because Obama represents (I did not say anything about leadership, government, etc)..mainly because Obama represents NON-WHITES….a country that is majority white has a NON-WHITE LEADER….something that may NEVER happen in Australia…
White people who think like you, Parislibby, will NEVER understand this because you cannot get over the fact that a Non-white IS THE GREATEST POSITION OF POWER in the world today….Plus, You know nothing about the HISTORY behind what Obama represents, thus you make ignorant statements blinded by WHITENESS in your eyes……well it is time for you and people like you to see some color in leadership positions….
You may not like it, but who cares? It is what it is…..AND YOU WILL LIKE IT.
Just let him go Parislibby.
Everyone reading this knows he’s just a hot-headed negroid with a huge chip on his shoulder, an inflated sense of self-importance and a “blame whitey” mindset.
He’s still on his Obama high and is trying to stick it to whitey wherever and whenever he can. It will wear off after a while. 4 years from now he’ll be much more sober.
They say you should never argue with a fool because those observing might not be able to tell the difference, but it certainly helps you to come away from the argument looking good when the person you’re arguing with resorts to SHOUTING to make their points sound stronger.
Daniel exhibits his bigotry and stupidity by using the racist terms such as ‘negroid’…..
I always knew you were nothing but a quasi-intellectual bigot, Daniel…I am very glad that you are not representation of the country of Australia (which I have friends who live there)…
so long, you ignorant dumbass….
“Negroid” is an anthropological term and is not at all pejorative.
It is no more offensive than if someone were to refer to me as a caucasoid.
It is a mere racial classification, but thankyou again louiecoolgato for showing everyone that you’re just another hyper-sensitive black looking to nail a white man to a cross for blowing his nose.
yes I can get over it louiecoolgato because as I said it
doesn’t affect me.
“IS THE GREATEST POSITION OF POWER in the world
today”
What is it about you Americans that
make you think you are the be all and end all. From
where I am sitting, things are not going too well over
there at the moment! Typical that you would think the
whole world revolves around the USA. That’s why
you get up people’s noses. Pure arrogance!
And please don’t talk to me about bigotry and ignorance
after the sweeping statements you have made about
white people. You are really showing your true colours
(no pun intended)
Get over yourself!
I know I should stop Daniel, but this nutter makes
me mad. Talk about a black supremist!
He is having his moment in the sun – as you say, we’ll
see what the difference is in 4 years.
Love it Daniel! Stick it to him!!
Sorry Daniel, but NEGROID is an anthropological term USED during the racist days of science…..you remember eugenics, do you not??
eugenics |yoōˈjeniks|
plural noun [treated as sing. ]
the science of improving a human population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics. Developed largely by Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, it fell into disfavor only after the perversion of its doctrines by the Nazis.
Nazis, along with other racist scientists of the day used these terms (negroid, mongoloid, caucasoid) to RACIALLY divide the human species into an intelligence hierarchy….
Why don’t you just admit that you are a racist, Daniel?
awww….I see that Daniel’s partner in ignorance, parislibby, is here to cheer him on…..
Tis a pity that stupidity always have its followers…
You tend to forget that it is you, parislibby, and daniel who made stupid and ignorant statements about the subject of ‘white race’..
…You just don’t like my counterpoints…
Get over yourself.
(no pun intended)
Honestly, I really don’t give a rat’s arse if you or anyone else thinks I am a racist. Perhaps I am, but it’s a term so overused these days that it almost means nothing, or perhaps means something similar to what “heretic” or “witch” meant 500 years ago. The accusation alone is enough to tarnish one’s reputation for good and see one ostracized.
In any case please spare us any more dictionary entries. We all have dictionaries and are quite capable of looking things up for ourselves thankyou. And my dictionary says nothing about the term “Negroid” being pejorative. You try to confuse the issue by bringing up eugenics which really has nothing to do with whether or not “Negroid” is a disparaging term or not.
It is an old anthropologial classification that has no value judgement attached.
Were these evil white men who invented the term “Negroid” to insult black people also intending to insult themselves with the term “Caucasoid”?
If these classifications were really so terrible and insulting then why weren’t white people in a fury about being classified as Caucasoid?
Whether or not I am a racist is still up for debate. But one thing that is beyond doubt is that you, sir, are a tool.
To parislibby and daniel:
why are you two EUROPEANS, who know nothing about the non-white experience or history in these united states, arguing with me about things that pertain to the united states?
neither one of your perspective countries have the diversity of people as the US, nor do either one of your countries have had laws that were exacted at non-whites (blacks in particular) to keep them disinfranchised and kept as second and third class citizens…
I do believe that you two should re-read what i’ve written and put it in the perspective of the United States history….
BTW: white people in the US could care less about whites in other countries in terms of ‘heritage’ and ‘race’…..both terms,
white race and white heritage, means white supremacy in the United States……
I think louiecoolgato is a closet white supremacist. Why does he place so much esteem in what a couple of white people think? Why should he even care?
A lot of non-whites behave like white supemacists. Have you ever wondered why for instance it’s so important to them that they be legally allowed to marry white people? Why does a black man feel less human just because a white man doesn’t want him dating his daughter? It’s as if that’s some kind of litmus test for them which determines whether or not they have a sense of worth.
Surely if all the races are equal as they insist then they’d be just as happy with one of their own kind than with one of ours. Maybe if everyone stuck to their own kind we could preserve that diversity that the lefties are always blathering about. But no, the blacks absolutely must be allowed to date and marry white people, and if they aren’t allowed to then that means they’re a nothing in society.
I mean honestly, if I were to go to Japan and a Japanese father didn’t want me dating his daughter because I’m not Japanese I’m not going to walk away thinking, “he thinks I’m not good enough, maybe I really am not good enough”. The experience will merely tell me that the Japanese must have a strong sense of their own peoplehood, a respect for their heritage, culture and ancestors and a desire to preserve these things that they cherish.
I could respect that and learn from it, but for these blacks it means utter rejection.
So what is the deal then black men? Are our women superior? Why aren’t your own women good enough for you, you closet white supremacists?
“..Honestly, I really don’t give a rat’s arse if you or anyone else thinks I am a racist. Perhaps I am, but it’s a term so overused these days that it almost means nothing…”
Oh, but it DOES mean something to non-whites who have to deal with your kind, Daniel……
Let us get one thing clear because your ignorance is really showing here: anyone who knows the history of eugenics would KNOW that the term negroid, mongoloid, and caucasoid were terms that were MADE FAMOUS by eugenic policies…the dictionary you use (if it were a recently updated dictionary) would state the following (straight out of the 11th edition of Webster’s dictionary):
USAGE The term Negroid belongs to a set of terms introduced by 19th-century anthropologists attempting to categorize human races. Such terms are associated with outdated notions of racial types, and so are now potentially offensive and best avoided.
So i guess this confirms that you are indeed a die hard, unrepentant RACIST……congratulations……It is RARE that i come across a person such as yourself who would readily ADMIT TO IT……there is NO debate in this so the following statement of yours is irrelevant:
“..Whether or not I am a racist is still up for debate. But one thing that is beyond doubt is that you, sir, are a tool…..”
Typical of racists of your type, you REGRESS from the subject and attack with derogatory names (which I need not repeat)…
Well anyway Daniel, it has been fun debating with someone who is so IGNORANT and STUPID when it comes to things pertaining to race, the United States, and its laws..
Do us Americans a favor and keep your racist ass where you are right now….white people of your kind are not welcome…
Hey Daniel, you still yapping about this subject, which you are woefully undereducated to competently speak about??…well here is some more knowledge for your empty, racist head:
Racism- a doctrine or teaching, without scientific support, that claims to find racial differences in character, intelligence, etc., THAT ASSERTS THE SUPERIORITY OF ONE RACE OVER ANOTHER, AND SEEKS TO MAINTAIN THE SUPPOSED PURITY OF A RACE.
Since whites are the majority in the US, and it is white people who wrote the laws, thus, it is white people who are RACISTS against non-whites…
…the blacks who are racists are the ones who believe that white people are superior to black people….example: Clarence Thomas
Now, black can be bigots…
bigotry |ˈbigətrē| noun intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself
But white people have the monopoly on racism in the US…..
and YOU WILL LIKE those four years parislibby!…
LOL
sorry parisbaby, but the only who got ‘stuck’ was your bigoted partner, daniel……
sorry i had to stick in him soo deep!
LOL
“Negroid” could be considered offensive only because touchy blacks like yourself look for any excuse to get offended over something a white man says so you can point the finger at him and call him a “racist”. Too many whites allow themselves to be manipulated by these bully tactics and most of them just give in and apologise profusely for causing any offense. But not this white man.
Get over it. I’m not going to cry if I’m refered to as a caucasoid. Grow a thicker skin negroid.
Hey white man Daniel, I don’t have to ‘bully’ you to think or do anything….I just let the facts speak for itself….
It seems that you are now allergic to knowledge, eh??
It also seems like YOU cannot get over it, eh racist Daniel..
It’s all good…..caucasoid always equals ignorant, stupid fool anyway…so you know what you are……
oh well…
Now who’s the racist – your true colours are becoming more and more apparant louiecoolgato.
Strangely black racism against white is tolerated, encouraged even, by grovelling white apologists for anything bad that has ever happened to anyone, anywhere, anytime, in the whole world!
(Just listen to the Australia Day speech by Victoria’s Attorney General Rob Hulls today – more guilt, apologies etc for white settlement, treatment of aboriginals etc. get over it Rob!)
You my friend are obviously a person of low self esteem, bitter and twisted and discontented with your lot in life. You could always return to your roots if things are so bad for you in the USA, living amongst all those awful white people. You could alaways return to the country of your African roots. Rwanda, Ethiopa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe or whereever you originate from all have well developed human rights charters, high standard of living, stable deomocratic governments and peace – sounds like paradise really!!
I’d be quitting the awful US immediately and head for one of these countries and see how you go there
Parislibby, there’s no such thing as black racism in the US….black bigotry, black bais, black discrimination???….these three things DO occur, but black racism in the US?
No…..i’ve explained this subject already, ad-nauseaum, so i won’t waste any more knowledge on deaf, ignorant, ears such as yours, parislibby…
And tell me parislibby, how am i exhibiting low self-esteem by correcting you and your racist partner in crime, Daniel, propoganda?….I do not have any discontent in my life, and as a matter of fact, I am in a constant state of contentment due to the frequent opportunities that i get to interact with bigots such as yourself….
All this dialogue has been one sided in terms of information with sources (mine) compared to yours and Daniel (ignorant OPINIONS with no sources, except from old racist anthropological books)…YOU are typical of racists who are caught in the light of truth……You attack the non-white who speaks to you at a level which you understand, but hate what you hear….
It is why you keep coming back…..oh yes, another thing…why would i leave MY COUNTRY with a president that has MY COMPLEXION?
…..I know you’re jealous…..but you will get over it….
BTW, don’t come over no time soon parislibby, you will HATE your experience…..there are many more non-whites in this country than you THINK……and I do hope that you are NOT an accurate representation of the people of your country, parislibby….if so, then i feel very bad for the future of your people.
You are free to go now. Class is dismissed.
I don’t think I have come across anyone so filled with hate, bitterness and rage in a long time Louie, not to mention, by your own description, racist and bigoted. I guess its ok for blacks to
be racist as paternalism is alive and well and many soppy white intellectuals will excuse the inexcusable because
blacks have had a hard time of it over the years and in their opinion us whites are all evil, nasty and guilty.
Perhaps you could find some racist statements in my comments and let me know what they are.
Your words dear Louie
“It’s all good…..caucasoid always equals ignorant, stupid fool anyway…so you know what you are…” Lucky I don’t take offence easily
If you are so contented with your lot, why do you need a black president (who is powerless anyway) to smooth the path for you? Or do you just want a president who is not white (racist, one would have thought} and voted for him because he is black
As for being jealous (?!) of you Louie, well being English of
Irish decent, you can imagine the state of my complexion (pale with freckles) and your tan would be great , something I have always dreamt of. As for the rest of you –
no thanks! And on second thoughts, there’s always spray tan!
Bon soir monsieur!
Parislibby, have you READ your own writings?…..You and others STARTED this dialogue on race with your RACIST statements…
You STILL REFUSE to acknowledge the racist history of the United States, and when i present the history, definitions, and information supporting my point of views, what do i get from people the likes of you?…..well since i show white people in a negative light, you take it PERSONALLY!
Here is a prime example of your refusal to accept information and continue to believe in ignorance: you quote me and then you talk about not being offended easily…
“Your words dear Louie
“It’s all good…..caucasoid always equals ignorant, stupid fool anyway…so you know what you are…” Lucky I don’t take offence easily…”
YOU, parislibby, ARE NOT CAUCASOID…you are of irish and english descent…..the definition of caucasian is the following:
Caucasoid- (adj.) from the erroneous notion that the original home of the hypothetical Indo-Europeans was Caucasus…the Caucasus is a region in Southeast European Russia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
If you would take some time and get off your high white horse and learn about the words you use, you would NOT be so angry with me….
And to show how I KNOW that you have issues with our president, who happens to be black, is what you and people of your ilk always say…..
“..If you are so contented with your lot, why do you need a black president (who is powerless anyway) to smooth the path for you?…”
People of MY LOT…..you are the worst kind of racist…..the one who THINKS she’s educated but is as stupid as a rock….and what is my LOT, parislibby?…..be careful with your answer because you may give me more ammo to prove my point of your stupidity!
You know NOTHING about non-whites and their involvement in the history of the United States, parislibby, because if you did, you would not be arguing with me over american racial issues AND you would not continue to make ignorant statements about race….
ignorant |ˈignərənt|
adjective
lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated
You, parislibbly, are a picture perfect example of this word…
And for clarification for you, parislibby,
anyone who is white and claims to be caucasoid, and is NOT from the Caucasius Regions, that person is an ignorant, stupid fool….
LOL, when are you going to put “Garden State” on the list of things white people like. Goddamn, people love that movie. And don’t forget to mention both the soundtrack and Natalie Portman. Everything about this movie speaks to the white person who simultaneously craves nostalgia, rebellion, apathy, individualism, dependence on others for happiness, and financial security while maintaining the illusion of being poor.
Why would you say that people from “Southeast European Russia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea” are stupid and ignorant? Does it matter who you are talking about? It is still racial abuse and a gross sweeping generalisation and as you were having a go at whites
at the time, that was your intention. Sounds like you
just decided to get your dictionary out (again – yawn)
“If you are so contented with your lot” What I meant is
your lot in life (must be a phrase only used by whites)
I am not in the habit of rubbishing people and being
rude and offensive to make my point – that is pure ignorance
“you would NOT be so angry with me….” Louie Louie Louie – I am not angry with you – in fact I am becoming quite fond of you! You are the angry one – I am very relaxed and easy going and very confident of my capabilities. I would never intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings or go out of my way to be rude and abusive – that’s just the kind of person I am!
Take a deep breath……
Parislibby once AGAIN exhibits that she does NOT READ too well…she states:
“..Why would you say that people from “Southeast European Russia between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea” are stupid and ignorant?…”
I said: ANYONE who is white and CLAIMS TO BE CAUCSOID, and IS NOT from the Caucasius Regions, that person is an ignorant, stupid fool….”….
I did not call the people who live in those areas are ignorant, I said that people like YOU, whose heritage is IRISH AND ENGLISH, who claims to be caucasoid, are IGNORANT.
So parislibby, the dictionary (and i guess books in general) tend to make you *yawn*, eh?….I use a dictionary PRIMARILY for people like you who refuse to believe what i say….but i see that you do not even accept definitions from even a DICTIONARY…
Thus, parislibby, the proof that you enjoy REVELING in your IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY is evident for ALL TO SEE.
parislibby states that she is NOT mad at me…well let’s go to the RECORD, shall we?…and i quote:
parislibby on January 21, 2009 at 3:54 am
“I know I should stop Daniel, but this nutter makes
me MAD. Talk about a black supremist!
He is having his moment in the sun – as you say, we’ll
see what the difference is in 4 years…”
You tend to forget what you write, eh parislibby?….It is a shame that our conversation regressed to this level, parislibby…..I stated to you and others that most of what i’ve said applied to whites in the USA, BUT you and others tried to take up the mantle of ‘WHITE CULTURE’ and ‘white heritage’, and you and others got angry because i merely tried to show you that this is FOOLISH and IGNORANT, since neither exists!
Nothing i’ve written have promoted black supremacy or black superiority…..and i invite you to RE-READ what i’ve written and cut and paste my statements that you feel are black supremist………I can give you BOOKLOADS of your writings and others that promote WHITE SUPREMACY……
By your supporting the stupid, ignorant statements that Daniel uttered made you look like a racist….afterall, Daniel ADMITTED that he is one..
I would suggest that you let this subject go, parislibby….you are making yourself look worse by challenging me on this subject….reconsider what i’ve written to you below, and move on….
From your last post, you seem like you’re capable of being a nice person….you just got caught up with the wrong crowd (that IDIOT Daniel)….
Excuse me – This quote must be from before you knew the exact definition of a “caucasoid” then (ie before the dictionary came out again)
“It’s all good…..caucasoid always equals ignorant, stupid fool anyway…so you know what you are……”
louiecoolgato on January 22, 2009 at 6:13 am
So please enlighten me as to who you think are “ignorant stupid fools” – the folk from the Caucasius region or us poor Irish English? Perhaps it is everyone who is non-black and/or disagrees with your narrow view of the world
No matter who you mean, it is still a generalised, bigoted statement (ie racism).
Hatred my friend is the is the cause of all of the world’s problems and you are inciting hatred with every word you write.
Get over it and get a life!
I won’t even start to correct you on your statement about books and dictionaries other than to say that you know nothing about my reading habits but I will tell you that my husband, children and I have over 5000 books between us (I haven’t read them all but I am working on it}
Again it is just another thing for you to pick on. There is nothing real so just dream it up!
Good night!
parislibby, did you bother to read what i wrote FOR YOU in particular yesterday when we had our back and forth discussion?
I think not!
“louiecoolgato on January 23, 2009 at 5:15 am

And for your additional enlightenment, the stupid ignorant fools i am referring to are the people who claim to be caucasoid, caucasian, et al, and do not know what the words MEAN, because they INCORRECTLY believe that it means ‘white’, as in white skinned people…
Finally, ms. parislibby, I am so glad that you are a reader…it is too bad that you did not practice this skill when you were writing to me…..Had you not been so ignorant and foolish as to support the obvious racist statements of Daniel and others, I would have given you the benefit of the doubt…but since you sided with a bunch of bigots, i treated you as i would all bigots i deal with…….harshly….
You still do not get it, do you parislibby?…if you go back to our early january dialogues (before they’ve gotten so negative like right now) and READ what you wrote….It was YOU who was exhorting the advancements of the so-called ‘white race’…and it was i who stated that there is no such thing as ‘a white race’…..thus began your racial rant….defending the indefensible….oh well
I am glad that at least my country has enough diversity to offset any notions of a ‘white race’ of people….which is more than i can say for your country, my dear…

Yes Louie I did read your later statement regarding caucasoid (I have nevr heard this term before but then I am sure I dno’t read the same books as you) but it is your original statement that I am referring to – the one that you keep conveniently ignoring because to acknowledge it would mean you had to admit what you are – a racist.
“I am glad that at least my country has enough diversity to offset any notions of a ‘white race’ of people….which is more than i can say for your country, my dear…”
I must take issue with this statement because it demonstrates how little many Americans, yourself included, know about anyone or anywhere else in the world. Australia (or “Austria” as many Americans believe it is called)is a land of immigrants, being only 220 years old and they hail from all parts of the globe and not just Europe, although Europeans and the Chinese were the first settlers. In recent history Western Europeans don’t even make the stats any more and Britain is way down on the list. Now we welcome annually thousands of migrants from all parts of Asia, Oceania and in the last few years many from the war torn countries of Africa such as Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea Iraq, Iran and other places where everyone is busy killing their own kind
The city in which I live is extremely multicultural and diverse and indeed our government’s policy is based on multiculturalism and not assimilation. In fact we have the largest Greek population outside of Athens (Greece not Georgia)
Some stats for you Mr (I am assuming you are male from your know-it-all attitude) Louie
The aboriginals were the first immigrants to arrive 50,000 years ago from Malay and New Guinea and ….
“During 2004-05, 123,424 people immigrated to Australia. Of them, 17,736 were from Africa, 54,804 from Asia, 21,131 from Oceania, 18,220 from the United Kingdom, 1,506 from South America, and 2,369 from Eastern Europe.
131,000 people migrated to Australia in 2005-06 and migration target for 2006-07 was 143,000. The planning level for the 2007–08 Migration Programme has been set in the range of 142 800 to 152 800 places, plus 13 000 in the Humanitarian Programme. In 2008-09 about 300,000 new migrants are expected to arrive in Australia, the highest number since World War II.

Perhaps you need to open your eyes a little and realise that the USA may be the centre of your universe but not our.
Learn to respect others by gathering a few facts before denigrating the history and culture of those you despise
Add them all up in your country, and they still would not have the diversity of New York City…population 10 million my dear parislibby…..and since you like to exhibit ‘short term memory’ at your convenience (you still have not denied being in agreement with Daniel, who states that he is a racist), I will have to say the the proof is in the pudding as to what you are….
You agreed with stated racists, thus we can all assume that you are one…..
Whereas I am definitely NOT a racist….bias, possibly, but racist?, no…
Racism- a doctrine or teaching, without scientific support, that claims to find racial differences in character, intelligence, etc., THAT ASSERTS THE SUPERIORITY OF ONE RACE OVER ANOTHER, AND SEEKS TO MAINTAIN THE SUPPOSED PURITY OF A RACE.
It is YOU, ms. parislibby, who sided with Daniel with the statements of superiority of the so called ‘white race’…do you not remember?
Mr. Daniel, and i quote: “It’s merely the truth. No other race on earth has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as white Europeans have. No single black man has ever changed the world as profoundly as the Wright brothers or Alexander Graham Bell did for example.”
A patent racist statement…if he knew anything about world history, he would know that WHITE SKIN has nothing to do with achievement…only a person who perceives his white skin is superior to non-whites is A RACIST BY DEFINITION.
and YOU parislibby, sided with this guy and his diatribe?…
YOU may not like it, but i exposed you with your own words and actions……you are the racist in this conversation….
period.
“…Yes Louie I did read your later statement regarding caucasoid (I have nevr heard this term before but then I am sure I dno’t read the same books as you) but it is your original statement that I am referring to – the one that you keep conveniently ignoring because to acknowledge it would mean you had to admit what you are – a racist….”
On the contrary ms. parislibby, directly under the statement that you continually refer to, I made it a POINT to state your name AND clarify exactly what i meant because i knew you’d be doing exactly what you are doing now….overlooking the clarification statement….
As for you never hearing of the word ‘caucasiod’…it is obvious that you were siding with Daniel without even reading the words he was saying….you got caught up in the skin color debate!
….Had you read his statements, you may not have readily jumped into our conversation and sided with him, but unfortunately you did and you tainted your credibility……
Parislibby, why do you think i despise whites? I despise the foolishness of idiots who make racist statements like Zoe, Daniel and others….and if people like you keep defending those racist statements, I will say the same to you…..
You cannot show me ONE STATEMENT of mine that is racist…the one you keep harping on is an answer to a person WHO KNEW WHAT CAUCASOID meant in HIS interpretation, that is why HE did not respond…
And who comes along taking up the mantle of stupidity and ignorance?…YOU parislibby!….at least Daniel had enough sense to know that i caught him in his racist diatribe…so much so that he admitted to it….
BUT YOU….typical of a person who is a day late and a dollar short, come into the middle of an ongoing conversation and YOU side with that idiot….
Well i’m sorry that you made a fool of yourself, parislibby….let this be a lesson to you…..Don’t jump into another person’s business unless you know what is going on!
you are now dismissed
Louiecoolgato on January 22, 2009 at 6:13 am
Hey white man Daniel, I don’t have to ‘bully’ you to think or do anything….I just let the facts speak for itself….
It seems that you are now allergic to knowledge, eh??
It also seems like YOU cannot get over it, eh racist Daniel..
It’s all good…..caucasoid always equals ignorant, stupid fool anyway…so you know what you are……
oh well…
These were your exact words Louie – pre your momentous revelation after looking up the meaning of the word in the dictionary – don’t try to blind me with science. I think you were making a racist statement against Daniel (and all whites) when you were accusing him of being a racist. Gee whizz, a little less hipocracy mate -you are beginning to look like a fool.
Mr. Daniel, and i quote: “It’s merely the truth. No other race on earth has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as white Europeans have. No single black man has ever changed the world as profoundly as the Wright brothers or Alexander Graham Bell did for example
This is the comment from Daniel that I agree with. It is not a racist statement, it is true. (as is his staement about touchy blacks – you in a nutshell) Why can’t whites be proud of their accomplishments? Why its the cultural cringe again, perhaps they could have it as a topic on this website of stuff white people like – something like ” Hyping up accomplishments of non-white cultures (such as having a black president at last) whilst denying their own”
Which documented accomplishments of blacks (other than sport and music maybe) are there that have changed the world (not that I think sport or music are world changing in any way or form). If there are any, perhaps you could inform me. i am always eager for more information, especially from a font of knowledge such as yourself.
Your response to my outlining the diversity in this country was pretty weak. What does the size of the population have to do with it. Those 10million could be all black or all white or all Polish for all your explanation said. Doesn’t diversity mean variety and difference (where’s that bloody dictionary when I need it!) At least have the grace to give credit where credit is due. Somehting like ” Gee parislibby I didn’t realise that Australia was made up of people from so many different countries – what a wonderful melting pot. How marvellous for you living in such a multicultural society”
Pigs might fly!
Parislibby, I did NOT call all whites racist, I called DANIEL racist…and as I said, the word caucasoid was applied to Daniel, who knew exactly what i was talking about…..BUT….you are putting your 2 cents into our conversation…now if you believe the same as he does, then what i say applies to YOU ALSO….
you CLAIM IT, and i will be happy to call you it….and i quote:
“…Mr. Daniel, and i quote: “It’s merely the truth. No other race on earth has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as white Europeans have. No single black man has ever changed the world as profoundly as the Wright brothers or Alexander Graham Bell did for example
This is the comment from Daniel that I agree with. It is not a racist statement, it is true….”
This statement is not only ignorant, and stupid, it is racist because it depicts white skinned people as superior to non-white skin people…as if your skin is the reason of achievement!!……
There is no such thing as white culture….there is no such thing as white heritage….and anyone who believes this is at best a bigot, and at worst, a racist.
period.
Parislibby, you ask what have ‘blacks’ accomplished….well if you knew anything about world history, you would KNOW that the longest surviving civilization was in an AFRICAN COUNTRY…..EGYPT….the Greeks and the Roman civilization combined did not last as long as Egyptian civilization…over 2500 years…..of all the man-made seven wonders of the world, I do believe the ONLY one that is in existence today was built by Egyptians (oh, did i mention that they were black?)…
If you knew anything about history, this concept of ‘white culture’ or ‘white heritage’ was a creation of recent times (beginning in the 15th century with European countries trying to justify their INHUMANE FORM of slavery)…..
If you knew anything about world history, the concept of RACE is also a recent times to justify what you and daniel (and many other ignorant whites who believe in this concept) a hierarchy of intelligence, with so-called white skinned people at the top of the hierarchy….
I have NEVER ANYTHING that advanced the SUPERIORITY OF NON-WHITES over whites, but you have parislibby…thus you are what you are….I will just say that you are like Daniel and his ilk….and you already KNOW what i called him…
If the shoe fits, wear it maam…
Who mentioned white culture and white heritage? not me Louie – that is your obsession. Black culture obviously doesn’t exist either
“This statement is not only ignorant, and stupid, it is racist because it depicts white skinned people as superior to non-white skin people…as if your skin is the reason of achievement!!……”
Why all the hulaballoo about Obama being the first black president then and you yourself making such a big deal about his skin colour being the same as yours. And the fact the all of his worshippers see him as about to start walking on water because of the colour of his skin.
Sorry forgot about the Egyptians but those pyramids have certainly made a big contribution – what would we ever have done without them
You sir, seem to have a massive inferiority complex. Get over it!
You tend to FORGET that this is the premise that Daniel made when he began speaking about whites…..what would YOU call it if someone presents a conversation which states…
“..It’s merely the truth. No other race on earth has made such a disproportionate number of documented accomplishments as white Europeans have…”
No other ‘race’?…..and what does this mean to you parislibby?
And why are you so pressed with Obama’s skin color?…I pointed it out to REFUTE the above statement….to show you that white skin is insignificant to accomplishments….people who think white skin (white race) is superior, are by definition, racists….
You cannot jump from one subject to another while AVOIDING the obvious, parislibby…..it is YOU who do not like my knocking your belief that white people are the end all to be all….
By the way, I am still waiting for your proof that i am a racist…I directed my comments to CERTAIN PEOPLE, and not white people in general….unfortunately for you, YOU ARE NOT THE TOTAL representation of all white people….
Parislibby, my position is CLEAR….as is yours….unfortunately, your dislike for Obama and my comments are shining a bright light on your attitudes…..
Let’s face it…..It burns you up inside to see that there are people who ARE NOT WHITE that are in positions of power and are intelligent (you do know that skin color and intelligence has nothing to do with each other, right?) AND you are not too happy to know that the so-called white race is nothing but a MYTH…
Skin color does NOT REFLECT intelligence, abilities, or accomplishments….thus…..it is a false statement to say that white people have accomplished more than any other race…
do-you-get-it-now? parislibby??
My dear Louie, the time has come to end this circular debate. I have to get back to my life and I think my husband is beginning to suspect that I am conducting a secret on-line affair!
I hope your new president is all that you and the American people (except for those celebrity nothings like Oprah and Sharon Stone (!)) wish for and that he gets treated with more respect than GWB did.
I couldn’t leave without saying farewell – after all you sound like a decent sort of chap.
Have a great life – goodbye and amen
Thank you parislibby….and you too have a great life and may you and your family be blessed…..
Ultimate ‘near’ apology: “mistakes were made…..”
the second ultimate ‘near’ apology: “we regret…blah blah blah”
(blah= you fill in the blah)
I apologize when someone steps on my toe, n I start sentences with “i’m sorry but” …i also own sea salt, love too short, san fransisco and sarah silverman. this is my new favorite website, man.
we regret to hear this. possibly mistakes were made on your part to make this your favorite website.
LOL
Long Rant by an Angry White Woman.
I am just the average white woman,anything but the stereotypical white woman.
I never had anything handed to me and fought my way out of poverty.
There are a bunch of white liberals who want you to feel guilty and want you to apologize for everything happen upteen years ago. Or better yet that they want you to join social causes like Peta,Green Peace, and etc.
They give fish stupid names like “sea kittens” and change names of things like window dressing bad things when it stinks like a skunk. A spade is still a spade.Because I won’t santitize my speech and won’t sugarcoat things.
You see I used to be one of those so called Liberals,but in the end I saw the errors of my ways and found myself a whole broker because of the mindless proganda that is spewed everywhere by them.
They scream global warming is real when it is all scam by a select banking cartel to extract money in the form of carbon taxes. These people tell people to stop their carbon footprint. These yutzes did not bother to find out that the sun got very cooler. Just ask people in certain parts of the country that freezing their tails off. These jokers called it climate change.See again playing with words to dress it up to fit their mental deranged agenda.
Yeah, they whine like bunch of spoiled rotten brats at the end of the day.
They want you to watch what you to watch what you say as to not offend. They believe they the right not to have their feelings hurt.
They believe in taking away your rights especially own a gun.
They don’t believe that you have the right to protect yourself and believe if we just get rid of the guns that will be ok and no one will harm us. They don’t live in the real world. Try working in downtown Atlanta at night near Grady Hospital where there are a lot of robberies and shootings if you work downtown at an ISP and have to pack heat just, so you don’t get mugged and hurt really bad. Because the criminals love the gun banning laws because it gives them better chance to do their absolute worst.
They want you to be a militant vegan like them and freak out if you eat nice juicy sirloin or ribeye steak.
No, I don’t drink expensive $7 coffee when I can get the same thing at 7-11 for a buck.
I am the type that goes gets the same of type clothes at thrift stores and army surplus to find bargains for less than the people shop the same type of clothes they buy at Sak 5th Ave.
I am the type of white person to ate cheap Ramen noodles to survive while everyone else was out having a good time and making excuses and asking for a hand out to make my
No, I am not the type of white person wishes to know what is like to sit and jail wanting be a political prisoner. I personally witnessed government corruption first hand driving home to Dallas,TX from Seattle,WA and witnessed law enforcement involved in drug trafficking and when there was no one to police them and was thrown in jail after being involved in car accident and the accident was no fault of my own because I have a nervous disorder which causes my hands to shake really bad and stayed in a men’s facility where there was no place for the women in small town in Colorado and where there was black mold growing on the walls and ceiling and pleaded my case of false arrest before a judge. I was accused of DUI and it turned out to be false. I had my medical records in my car and the officer did not want to see them. He called 7 other officers and impounded my car. All I had was $30 to get my car out of the impound yard and had to get help to get it out. They threaten to have someone to throw it over a cliff. All because the arresting officer wanted his promotion to Lieutenant and a pay raise.
No, I am not the type that is an atheist,but believe in G-d.
I am not the type that believe G-d loves the Republicans. No, I am not a Neocon. I didn’t vote for Bush and voted third party for the American Constitution. I did not vote for Obama.
I am the type that believe you make your own way in this world and have to fight tooth and nail for everything. I have spent my half my adult life in poverty and climb out of the hole myself. I got something it is called the pioneer spirit.
I am the type who doesn’t care who is the president of the USA. Even, there plenty who salivate and bow down to Obama like his a G-d and lost their marbles forgetting that he is just another man who ran for public office and funded by the same corrupted corporate robber barrons at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase, as well as, international bankers who support the awful bailout in September to allow them to loot the country dry.
No, I don’t follow the media in any form and don’t pay attention the movies and music, either.
I am the type that believes in right and wrong. I am not the type that will make up excuses and say there is no right and wrong like white liberals and neocons who do and try to excuse everything.
These jokers will spew out lines of esotheric books about exotentialism and reveal themselves as commies.The books they read they can’t tell you what think they mean and say uh,uh,uh. They sit around the expensive latte shop and saying I am more enlighten than a someone is not because they are nothing but a bunch of ignorant fools.They are no more enlighten than a GE 60 watt light bulb. All cases, the elevator does not to go the top floor with them. These jokers are the same ones who would themselves slaughter. I am not a conservative or a liberal.
These people can’t find Dubai on map and look glassy eye afterwards. It is like they enjoy being enslaved to the matrix. These people know more about Paris Hilton’s sorry ass than what is really happening in the world and not in the US. The same folks who are white as sheet and they look like the smoked a lot of weed and go around with dreads,but they look incredibly stupid.These jokers are no more oppressed than the man on the moon.
There are the jokers who praise Marx and Engels were as white as picket fence. Yet, I find amazing the same people who holler racism and hate white people the same one who worship Karl Marx like a God. Also, they say capitalism bad and shame on you for trying have a business to make a little bit of money to feed yourself and keep a roof over your head even though I live in apartment that is $500 a month.
No, I don’t need to learn a second language when I speak other 2 already. It was not because I wanted to. Because I had to survive in this world.
No, I don’t like to eat at expensive restaurants. I am just happy going to Popeye’s and feeling full afterwards.
These are the same people who allow a bunch of brutal despots take over and slaughter people right after the despots destroy and hurt lots of people in the process. They don’t believe that going to war for your own survival and to keep from being annihilated is not that important. These jokers will praise the despots and commend those who trying to keep from being annihilated.
Yeah, I went to law school and not to fight for social causes. I went there help people with their problems like simple bankruptcy and cut and dry divorce. No, I won’t make a lot of money doing that. You see I will own my practice one day and won’t be raking in millions of dollars. Because it is just one paralegal, one secretary and myself in a small town.
You see it is just me,one cat and small studio apartment that it is. No, I don’t need a tv. Like R. Lee Ermy from the Full Metal Jacket movie would say I don’t care what color a person is because people are lower than pond scum when they do wrong.
I am the type who will say what they think and won’t back down. No apology will come out of my mouth. I am not ashame to admit it. When I see wrong, I will say it. I don’t go along with the crowd.The political correctness crowd can go jump over a bridge.
American society is bankrupted morally and financially. Consumerism defined the definition of success when it became the American nightmare. Success is defined by what one can do by bettering themselves. Just look at the rest of the world, they are saving money. People in the USA,they are encourage to buy useless junk like big screen tvs,expensive houses, cell phones, and IPods when they can’t afford them. No one is going lend anymore money to the USA. Because the party is over.
No, I am not the type of person to date someone of a different race because media and society expects me to have some deep seeded guilt and tries to put a guilt trip by labeling me a racist. I prefer white men only. So, don’t go around saying I am a racist and biggot because that is what I prefer. Now, other people can do what they want.One day when I have children if they date someone of different race does not matter because it is their choice of their own free will. I just prefer what I prefer and does not make me a racist,so don’t go flying off the hook and screaming racist and biggot at me for my choice.
The last you won’t hear me say is starting a sentence with sorry. Because I won’t.
That is my long winded rant. You can call me what you want and think what you want. But, know this I spoke my mind that is all that matters.
Ohhhkayyyy. Deep breath, sugar… for someone who claims not to care, you seem to care a LOT!!!
Did anybody actually read this post above ^^^^^^^???
I sure as hell didn’t.
absolutely not… jesus christ
nope.
Rogue….less is more.
Lastly; she is NOT the type of white person who takes an interest in getting her point across through a well written and well constructed article!
the angry white woman has made some valid, angry points, but, with due respect, has left herself wide open for ridicule. to take lander’s book seriously is to completely miss the point. the book is a joke, and, although, the stereotypes FOR THE ECONOMIC GROUP THE AUTHOR WAS REFERRING TO (in which, Angry White Woman points out, is not included) are “true”, (for why do stereotypes exist if not to harbor some truth?), we all know that every single person on this earth has his/her own personal story and reasons for being the way heshe is, blah blah blah. But reading about THAT wouldn’t be funny, would it? so, i digress after this message: put a cork in it, Angry. you don’t have enough sense of humor to be assessing this book. maybe some pot would help get rid of that chip in your shoulder. now, i sound VERY white, don’t I? LOL
I think she’s nuts….I read a couple of random sentences….she’s apparently much smarter than the rest of the world. I loved her comments on global warming! (thick sarcasm)
Shut the fuck up, bitch, before I bitch slap you with a wet undershirt. Go get laid or something but quit telling anyone anything. We don’t care.
Rogue, no one read that.
In summer we have hemisphere warming, in winter we have hemisphere cooling. So every year we have global warming and global cooling. Which means, it eventually stays the same.
😀
Who read all that? Zzzzzzzzz….
whoa…..rogue, I tried to read it, really I did but, I couldn’t handle all the puncuation and grammatical errors. Plus it was annoying.
rogue. You poor, poor little white woman. You can take a joke right? Obviously not. I didn’t read half that mess! But what I did read, was kind of stupid. Im black and I can always make fun of myself. I think a lot of you white folks don’t realize that. We make fun of ourselves more than anyone else! Guess what? I hate soul food, I don’t wear urban gear. I don’t really date men that dress that way either. I don’t really care for fried chicken. I don’t have a “ghetto” name. I don’t wear weave, I hate wattermelon. I don’t listen to rap that much. So on and so on. But guess what? Its funny because it has truth to it. Woman up!!
I aint got nothing to apologize for except…. That carrot top fella… and running out of beer at Elle Mays Weddin last year…
How about them Steelers!
whatevah.
The guy that did this blog is white sweetie. And there is one that says stuff black people like. Look it up and shut up.
we’re sorry that the republican party are a bunch of beeotch assed asswipes. They created this deficit along with their friends in finance and business, and now they do not want to support the plan to correct the very mess they created.
WEll im not sorry.. lol. Maybe we do apologize too much.. Maybe we’ll stop.. How about his.. Clander, go fuck yourself!
You’re ignorant.
and you’re a dumbassed beeeotch.
Perhaps, your taking things a bit out of context …but what else is new. “White People” may overdue it with the “I’m sorry” thing. It’s just another mannerly way of saying “exuse me” or I way to express empathy. When are black people going to stop being so bitter, your really not doing a service to yourself. I have personally and directly enountered the disdain, black people feel/have for white people. I don’t feel guilty about what happened during slavery and civil rights.
Because I wasn’t born yet.
I’m not proud of how my country treated black people for many, many years. I hope to God, if I was alive during the days of slavery, that I would not have been a slave owner. However, I know with every fiber of my being, , if I was a young, middle aged or elderly adult during the civil rights movement I would have been involved or maybe not…but I would like to think so.
Hopefully, black people will one day, let go of their hatred and anger against white people….so that prosperity and change will impermiate more than a small minority within their communites.
Maybe, they’ll start exercizing their right to vote in future elections, even if there aren’t any black canidates.
I’m so happy Barrak Obma is our President…but not because he’s black.
I think it’s cool that a black man is in office, but that’s not why I voted for him.
No apologies, for this hite womans rant! Deal with it.
Person A: “Sorry about that”
Person B: “No need to apologize!”
Person A: “Oh, sorry…”
(I’m guilty of that conversation, too.)
[…] nostalgia that so ruined a similarly-minded A Large Attendance in the Antechamber in 2007 Tower. As Stuff White People Like has succintly pointed out, there is a diffuse and mute sense of guilt over so many things in […]
White Cat, I understand where you’re coming from; I used to think like that, too. But you’ve got to understand, racism is far from over.
Yes, legal segregation and its ilk have ended. As far as I know, we don’t have anything in the law discriminating against black people nowadays, but there’s still a lot of racism about.
You don’t see it because most of it isn’t obvious to white people; it just seems normal to us. It’s still there, though. And all a white person has to do to perpetuate racism is nothing. Being not racist is not enough; one must be antiracist.
Consider, how many people of color are there in positions of power in the U.S.? Sure, we’ve got Barack Obama now (do note, though, that the majority of white people didn’t vote for him), but how many Asian CEOs, black deans, or Arab politicians do we have? Do you really think that, when only about 60% of the country is white, such an overwhelming majority of people of power’s being white could be an accident?
There are numerous other things, too, both small and large. Like when a white person assumes that an Asian person must speak another language or how most American media has only white characters, with only an occasional stereotyped character of color.
Since you’re a woman, consider all the ways in which sexism works, and how most men seem completely oblivious to it. That’s how you seem in regard to racism.
I realize that it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the only ethical option you have is to work hard to fight racism (just sitting on the sidelines is much easier after all), but if we fight today we can see a better tomorrow.
If you’re interested in learning more, I recommend starting with Peggy McIntosh’s “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” (it can be found for free online at ) and the autobiography of Malcolm X (Malcolm X often gets a bad rap for his “by any means necessary” thing, but he was really great; remember, in the U.S. when Malcolm X was alive, a revolution by people of color wouldn’t have been any less just than the American Revolution).
Okay, it ate the link to “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” for some reason, but it should be the first thing you find if you google it.
Rogue, I don’t believe you when you say you’ve been to law school, unless the standards of law school are extremely low (you write like a twelve-year-old!).
That said, you don’t seem to be stupid, merely ignorant. Please go read up on philosophy, physics, chemistry, biology, English composition, ethnic studies, women’s studies, political theory, and economics, at least. Read a variety of opposing viewpoints, and try to keep in mind that your life experience only applies to you, no one else, so it is very likely to, on its own, lead you to foolish conclusions.
Your current viewpoints aren’t necessarily bad, but you’ve failed to justify them properly or explain them clearly; that’s all.
Everyone should calm the fuck down. This website is meant to amuse, not to spark racism debates.
I think all of these entries are hillarious and some are true. And yes im white.
I know the list is all fun & games but this one just ticks me off..
If i’m at a bar or a nightclub then i’m there to have fun and drink etc. Not to get in fights, besides.
Where i live, the majority of the immigrants are from the middle-east and they gang up on you like hyenas 10v1.
ha! ^
yeah, dont you know….the way to get out of debt is to spend as much more money as you can, then beg borrow and steal some more…..duh
That comment was a riot to read!! – the last line (though middle-easterners aren’t known to do this out where I live near SF).
How “white americans” act differently than europeans in america: I’m a black jamaican and I accidentally bumped into an Irish guy in an “Irish Pub” in SF, CA. Maybe someone bumped me, but he said.
“Hey, you pushed me.”
And I smiled so hard! I loved it, cuz it seemed so refreshing to hear that instead of the typical reactive apology that is common with white americans.
However I pretty much understand why white americans (vs. the Irish guy) respond with apology (NO MATTER WHAT) than point out to someone that they bumped into you, just off the cuff.
Many times I hear from American whites that they have been acculturated to “avoid confrontation” (hence almost automatic apology).
This serves well of course, cuz then whites don’t make it into the news as getting into shooting fights with each other very commonly. Quick apologies may not be very “authentic”, but they help to preserve life by diffusing situations.
oh, and the Irish guy and I easily and pleasantly sorted our stuff out. I know I made contact with him and apologized (not out of immediate reaction), but after I got a real good smile in and we chatted about it nicely.
Enjoy the blog-Os!
Very true!
http://www.beabetterproducer.com
well i’m canadian, so its pretty much hardwired for us to say sorry to just about anyone, regardless of race or colour. but yah, these things are hilarious
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their time and money apologizing for no apparent reason.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)

perhaps white people were raised with manners and consideration. sorry, my apology, black people cant comprehend the logistics behind this concept.
he’s upset about a stereotype which makes his own race the subject THEREFORE he MUST make a stereotype about another race.
here let me make a stereotype: he is a TYPICAL white person.
heh.
by the way, a white person writes this blog. where did the “black people” comment come from? i sense hostility toward the race, racism? … maybe? lol.
apparently this is a white trend: when white people feel attacked, they make stereotypical OPINIONS about other races, even when the supposed “white race attacker” is a white person themself. why are you attacking middle eastern people, they didnt write this blog hahaha.
AMEN TO YOU!
Apolagizing is for bitches… If I went to the club*(intoxicated) and some fucken diva stepped on my fucking shoes a fight would ensue. If someone apologized to me about the thing. I would laugh….
then a fight would ensue….
If I was out with Family and not intoxicated. apology would be accepted everyone giggles I possibly make a new friend and sex in the bathroom.
gay minorty male out.
I apologise all the time! I’ve begun working on stopping, it’s funny, a friend of mine just moved in with me, he apologizes to me all the time, I told him to stop, so now he says ‘live with b***h’ pmsl, I’m planning on implementing this very soon!
Brandon Parkison, half my family are black and have very good manners.
Brandon Parkison, reminds me of scrubs, ‘Cal Turk, we don’t only sell insurance, we sell peace of mind, but only to white people.’
pmsl, you make me laugh, let me know if this works, I’m half Irish, one eighth jewish, I might be able to pull this off!
yep, had that conversation loads myself!
you’re right about one thing Brandon. Black people cannot comprehend the logistics behind your stupidity.
Let me apologize: Sorry that I have to tell the world that you are a sorry assed beeeeotch.
comprehend that.
IDIOT FAAAAG
we get your points, pretentious hipster douche.
Really? So those soccer game riots are staged?
Apologies is a white American cultural art to compensate for past wrongs, not by lending out cash and psychological exam healing rooms…but say “I’m sorry, get over it you (group’s name here). Get a job and forget about it, that’s all in the past…and no Cherokee Nation, you’re not getting your land back, and the rest of you Native Americans”. That P-C term is increasingly unfavored by…American Indians, since I prefer NA and AI instead of being identified with an Indian from the Punjab, Kerala or Bangladesh. (sorry, wrong guys). +
In Indio Cal. there are bars where whites only go, blacks hardly go into and Mexicans hang out, laughing that the blacks don’t come and whites are coming more to be “with it”. It’s ridiculous with the racial border lines being drawn in 2009 America, plus there was a bar in Indio refused service to anyone American Indian until the 1960s! The bartender thought them Indians had too much of that “firewater”.
NickyT, he’s only being a comedian over the internet, the median of the 21st century to perform satire and skits on the daily lives of all of us, in his case white urban yuppies trying to be “hip”, educated or upper-class…and FAIL. +
She’s an ex-liberal, joining with the ex-conservatives and the rising number of American people like myself had it with the “politics as usual” nonsense. I fear the USA may end up in a really bad situation or in plain words “the 2nd American revolution”, this time by Americans wanting to replace the 234-year old republic in a state of decline and restore it with a newer or better democracy. I’m more of a centrist who votes Democratic from a non-elite background, not a commie-socialist or a fascist-nationalist (both I dispised). +
amen! and these ARE hilarious and true for a certian class of people (mostly white hipsters or BoBo’s)
And these traits for the most part are admirable ..
but funny stuff and spot on
THE UNITED STATES OF FAGMERICA
I’m an arab who lives in Europe and has never set foot in the U.S., but it looks here like im incredibly white! There’s not 1 thing on this site that’s not me!
LOL I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com and I must admit it’s just as funny!!
“FAGMERICA” Very creative. You should work in advertising; I think you have a knack for slogans
yeah, we do xD but only the ones that aren’t racist. i’m sorry for taking up so much space with my comment
[…] Guilty as charged… […]
[…] “thank you” isn’t hard for me. It comes as naturally as “I’m sorry” and “I’ll have whatever’s cheapest.” Yet every December I am struck […]
i always apologize if i bang into someone or hurt their feelings but i won’t apologize for your retardedness if your at fault i could care less.
OMG! this is so true. i do his all the time. i’m telling you this site is hillarious. and truthfully you’re forgetting one. WE LOVE SPERRIES! The boat shoes. it’s an epidemic.
A true standard in comedy blogging.
Another great site is http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
This is at its creepiest when people apologize to inantimate objects when the bump into them
Thank you White Person. I am going to read this now. I really like what you said. I often feel all lost and inarticulate trying to say the same thing.
lol, funny…I do say “sorry” a lot, don’t even think about it. I don’t think anyone really means it either, it’s like saying “damn”, basically. Actually, I think use “damn” and “sorry” pretty interchangeably, lol!
We thereby apologize for defeating your men and women’s hockey teams, and we’re sorry for referring them to “men” and “women” but are persons of another nationality (USA).
Clander:
FUCK YOU
-NOT SORRY
ahaaahahaha i have i friend who i am constantly telling to stop apologizing. he never means it! it’s like a tick or something
[…] Apologies […]
apologise is the ENGLISH spelling…just like colour.
I apologize a lot… it’s often more of a precaution, though. Like if someone said, “Excuse me, Annika, you dropped your paper by my desk,” I would say sorry because a) you never know if they’re expecting an apology, b) because hey, they might be annoyed you never know, and c) it just feels rude to not acknowledge that they just wasted a couple seconds to point this out to you.
I would also have said “Thanks.” Because it’s polite.
I wonder if there’s a post on here called “Manners”? If there isn’t, you should make one pronto. If there is I’m def. gonna read it.
no one apologizes more than Japanese people. its the most humbled society in the world. They have about 10 different ways to say I am sorry and they use them all 100 times a day. but only 1 word for breasts. 1 word for penis, and 1 word for shit. Americans have like 25 for each of those.
Wow, Garden State over Hard Eight. As a White person, I am glad that sentence started out with an apology. Hard Eight all the way.
if you like this blog, check out http://justsomepetpeeves.wordpress.com!!
Japanese don’t have a word for “no.” Disagreeing (or messing up) ment your overlord had every right to behead you. Makes for good manners.
How about: “Oh, Thank You.” That way your not apologizing because you did nothing wrong and your acknowledging the fact that they took the time to point out you dropped something. If they go the extra mile and pick it up for you you can go the extra mile and say “I appreciate it”.
Clander,
You are the textbook definition of a racist white american. And the sad thing is that you may not even realize it. 99% of all White Americans are racist. You are the perfect example of White Priviledge and institutionalized racism. You’ve probably never heard of it. White people couldn’t see racism if it hit them in the side of the head. So don’t feel guilty or anything. Just keep profiting and writing more racist books for all the racist white americans out there.
The white man’s struggle is a superficial one. He doesn’t need to fight racism or poverty or anything any other minorities in america do. So he just makes lists of things he likes for his own amusement at the expense of other minorities. Your blog is clearly racist. White people can’t see racism because they’ve never experienced it but every other minority in america can see how much of a racist you and everyone who reads it is. You are exposing the true racism in america today.
you are really stupid
C Lander is a brilliant and massively talented dude. Thank you for letting some of us know that there are still great people out there
I will not apologize for being white. To all of you who have a problem with that. F U
So I think you missed the whole point of this point……As usual!
As someone who is also white, I see what he means about us always beginning sentences with I’m sorry.. haha
He never said we are apologizing for being white!
that comment was for under estimated
I’d like to apologise for him (or indeed her) being white.
Like @Jessica, my comment was also for @under estimated.
I’d like to apologise for not stating that in the original post.
There is a word for no. I don’t know why people think this. I learnt the word iie meaning no in my first Japanese class.
White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.
}}{}{}{}
whitest girl ever love your response. It is a demonstration of your liking whites passion for getting offended. LOVE IT!! Adrenalin flowing over all kinds of trivial things – feels nice but safe, doesn’t it? Hope I have left some typos in here as I am sure it will please you fold even more in that it could meet the other passion for self righteiousnessness. …. (the last word should give you all a field day). Happy playing
I get rather annoyed with people who apologize too much, it means so little to me. So what if someone bumped into me, big deal. I can move on from it, as long as no damage is caused, I do not think it is that rude to overlook it. I prefer to just say “excuse me” for small mishaps.
Even so, I do apologize just because this society is obsessed with tact. I am more of a thinker than a feeler, and wish there were more girls like that.
this blog makes white people seem like little lost children
HAHAH the other day, my friend got a larger drink than everyone else and i said “i see you got a large drink!” and he said “yeah sorry.” hahahha.
@j anderson>> shut up douchebag. anytime I see some minorty whining about how bad they got it, get back on a boat and go back to where ever the fuck it was your ilk came from dumbass.
posts like yours illustrate just how much I detest whining and fruitcakes wetting their panties over trivial shit.
I feeeeel strongly that you should go right now and fuck yourself.
Do you need a crisis counselor? Cuz, you’re taken life way too serious.
>White people know that their ancestors did some messed up things.
im sorry that your a complete fucking idiot,majority of white people today have no biological rlation/connection to the dutch slave traders.So in reality your mistaking/potraying white people as a demographic of descendants of slave traders ROTFL and i was beggining to think that you were somewhat remotely smart lol i guess i was wrong.
lol’s this site has attracted a lot of angry racist white people i see forget the fact the this happens all the time
for someone who laughs so frequently, you should be aware when someone is making a joke. stuffwhitepeoplelike.com is aimed at making people laugh ROTFL LOL XoOxXo
I’m white and I apologize all the time. Black people love it! It’s like something they live for. You want an apology from me? Sure. Sorry for slavery. Sorry you’re black. Sorry for other white people. It’s like printing my own money. I’m sorry if this sounds bad.
@anderson,and laughing black guy, I think I owe you both a blow job.
Incredible quest there. What occurred after?
Good luck!
Automatically, Bridget thought of her former roommate,
Audrey, and then just as quickly dismissed the thought.
After the storm, if your spouse does decide to come back to you in repentance,
your time comes to handle the situation delicately.
The medicines she took to alleviate her sadness did not work.
Why is it that white people hardly ever say thank you or your welcome to me?whether it’s a compliment or simply doing something nice. Or if they did something nice and I said thank you, white people don’t say your welcome, my pleasure, any time, or something like that. I’m not saying that all white people don’t say thank you or your welcome. But blacks or Hispanics always say thank to me and show some gratitude.
ive never apologized to a shitskin in my life and I sure as fuck never backed down to one at a “club”..where do you get this shit?why do minorities automatically think they can beat up white men,?try it muthr fukrs and youll get your asses handed to you,the fact of the matter is coloredes fight in groups and always throw punches from the crowd you are a bunch of bitch assed cowards who are so terrified of losing to whites you will resort to just about anything,thats why I go for the gullet when I fight your sorry asses.i have been jumped by shitskins but never beaten in a fight one on one,the fact is if you are a large white guy nobody will fuck with you uless in a gang,but if you are a white weakling it seems like you a target for these savages,they only pick on the weak old and vulnerable.thats their nature,they rely on bluff hootin and hollering jumping around tryig to intimidate their opponent,it goes back to scaring a lion off its prey in the serenghetti.dont fall for it and carry a boxcutter its the great equalizer.slice first don’t let them hit you cause they will once in your face.slice their goddamned ear off.i should know I took off a dudes ear on my friends apartment parking garage,he fucked with the wrong “whiteboy”as he called me.,and went home with his hear hanging off his head by a string.lol.good times ….you underestimate whites,that would be a big mistake.because we know coloreds are all talk or safety in numbers.whites don’t rely on groups we are too independent.we don’t have a tribal mentality.thats why when one colored starts hitting you they all will in a massive frenzy of flying fists.they cant help but cheat or try to get over,the one thing that makes me want to gun them down is when they rummage through someones pockets after a ko.that is a despicable thing only minorities would do.that right there drives me to murder when I see I and its always blacks.so all these commenters on here that think they can relate,take me on,talk shit to me.you wont because you would be too intimidated by my white superiority.now fuck off I’m going to enjoy my privilege losers.
this site is offensive and any whites that find it funny are losers who are too scared to act mad as not to offend any minorities ,the kind of groveling doormats that belong to antifa or anarchist faggots.this site isn’t funny.i never apologise to anyone because it shows weakness.plus we don’t owe any shitskin an apology they owe us one for fucking up a good thing whites had,…our countries,which wont go unpunished mark my fukn words.so fuck you and your sense of humor this site is meant to humiliate probably written by a jew.
Nu-i asa draga Vlad e vorba de cum se comporta “whites” in America. Si sa stii ca nu toti minorities se bat NUMAI in groups. Dar good for you for standing up for yourself and anti racism, just don’t be racist back or else it all comes out wrong
I myself do apologize whenever I feel the desire to, but this site article actually drew my attention and helped me say it less when it’s inappropriate – ie the way some people say it in America for no reason. Now I look way more cool and tough in public and I still get to apologize to friends and humans when it’s correct to do so.
😀
I agree with these statements. And it is so funny sometimes I just respond saying I’m glad it turned out in the best way however.
Rise above. And what ever ill feelings you have is/are wrong. Let it go.
