Their definitions don’t have anything to do with those things. It basically boils down to how proud or ashamed someone is for being white. It’s meant to shame people who are proud to be white.

I'm not proud or ashamed. Are you?

Not proud or ashamed. Just white

To play a little devil’s advocate, is it inherently wrong for someone to have a sense of pride in being who they are? After all, they had to be born that way to be eligible. What value comes from being ashamed of that?

It is and it isn’t. After reading their 1 through 8 classifications and how they were presented l could tell immediately what they were trying to do. It makes white people uncomfortable, and that’s what it’s intended to do. They don’t want to answer, they side step or create their own definition, which is exactly what happened here.

What if everything was reversed and instead of white replace it with black would it be answered...or would there be riots?

That, or the stigmas get removed from the prefixes. I’m personally rooting for that.

I'm not uncomfortable at all. Like I said, its stupid.

Stupid shit like this is just masquerading as racism (not about your post in particular).
But as long as it’s aimed at Caucasians...that’s ok.
What a society we’re living in these days, one would think we would be beyond this.

You’re not wrong. I suppose all l’m getting at is l understand why this exists.
If you think of society as a body of water, an incident like George Floyd’s death is like a meteor hitting it. It creates tidal waves going in one direction (think riots and black lives matter), then the water crashes into things and flows the other way (think blue lives matter, all lives matter), then crashes into other things and flows the other way (think this chart)...
But with each wave it loses intensity until we’re back to something resembling a calm body of water. It’s why l don’t get too worked up about stuff like this. I recognize the patterns and with a glass half full perspective it’s just a wave to ride to smoother water. Now those earlier waves, those are destructive. But this one is surf-able.
At it’s heart something like this isn’t so bad. An exercise in reflecting on whiteness. The way it’s presented is a little jive though, but that’s because it’s trying to get you to look at it through a different lens.

yep. but it's an emotional knee jerk reaction to everything to emphasize conflict and racism, etc....
to keep the masses focused AWAY from the left's continued stupidity, hypocrisy, and failures.

The part I don’t understand is, you take the white guy in Texas several years back who was killed by police in the same manner as George Floyd.
Where was the outrage?
Why didn’t it get media attention?
Where were the riots and looting?
Is his life any less important than George Floyd?
The only difference was he was a white guy.

well, the meteor isn't allowed to "hit the water" because obaMao commie and the msm don't get leftwing political advantage over a white guy who dies.

Those are all questions that sort of boil down to something that this chart is driving at. Why are we different? What is so different between being black or white?
I don’t really have those answers. Like most of us l’m stuck with my own life experiences and perspective that comes with that. I’m pretty well convinced there are differences though, and you can pick up nuggets of perspective here and there if you look for them.
It’s a process. There’s a whole lot l don’t understand, but l’m a curious dude who tries to figure stuff out.

Having served in the Army and Navy, and being stationed with blacks from 17 on I think I know more than some liberal fucking principal.

If you have nuggets of wisdom on what makes us react so differently to similar events then feel free to share.
