I saw a lout on CNN talking about

[cyclonefence]

not being a racist but only wanting to "preserve my white heritage." I'd like to know what the hell his "heritage" is. My family fought for the confederacy (Edgar's Battalion, Virginia) and they owned slaves. I know they owned slaves because I have wills bequeathing living human beings to my predecessors. I am ashamed of my heritage and wish it could be obliterated from the earth.

I have a suspicion that the "white heritage" this guy wants to preserve is more my heritage than his own, and I want him to know I don't want his help in this matter.

1. That guy is full of crap

That's a watered down PCish way of sort of not exactly being a Nazi

[yellowcanine]

2. Burning witches and heretics is part of our European heritage as well.

But while people don't necessarily apologize for what their ancestors did, they generally don't celebrate it.

3. what heritage would that be, unless he does a dna test, he wont find out where he's from

and i bet he'd be surprised where his "blood" comes from.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Don't be ashamed, do what you're doing here, make your world a better place...

We can't fix our ancestors, we can only be better than them. Sounds like you're on that path.

[SHRED]

5. White Heritage

What good is there?

P.S.... I'm white

[gratuitous]

6. Heritage, huh?

What about people whose family heritage is to fire on any traitorous sumbitch flying that loser flag of slavery and oppression?

[ismnotwasm]

7. He's full of shit

There are all kind of clubs and societies for Irish, Swedish, Danish, English, Russian etc. ancestries The entire of US culture is front-loading white culture, with culture appropriation whenever it felt like it. Thus slavery, Jim Crow, the need for a civil rights movement, The wholesale theft and rape of the very land we live on.

I suspect this is ever so slowly changing; I think the oppressiveness of the white norm has the slightest crack in it, letting other voices be heard, other input shape society without appropriating, and these piece of shit snowflake motherfuckers can't handle that in the least way. What they want to '"preserve" is white dominance. Fuck that. I don't want it either, it's The major roadblock of a truly healthy society
