De Santis' bill to stop racial studies in the school was called The White Guilt

bill on Velshi on MSNBC. They are now pushing legislation to protect the White folk from dealing with their own history. You don't want to hurt those tender feelings. Heck, take it another step and call it the Snowflake bill.

It's ridiculous on its face. Why would I feel guilt over something my ancestors did? I wasn't there, supposedly things have changed for the better. This entire notion that somehow caucasian's are all worried and upset over history is just a joke.

that Affirmative Action and Reparations is justified.

It will also help people open their eyes to the reverse benefit that whites get from less legal scrutiny.

And I also suspect they long for the days when whites could enslave people to clean their toilets and do the yard work for free, and hope TFG will be reinstated so he can sign an executive order to that effect.

On edit: whoops! I meant to reply to the first person who replied to you. I need sooooo much more coffee today!

I do not think of them as 'White-snow flakes'.
More like snowflakes melting down to pools of another color.

Yellow-orange color depending upon how dried-up they are.

These people don't want their kids to know just how racist they really are.

We read Huck Finn in high school, in the 80s.
It wasn't difficult to recognize Huck was right, and that slavery was inherently evil. Or that my parents (born in the 30s) said all kinds of racist things.

It's the parents who refuse to learn.
