    One time I was at a gas station and there was a group of young minorities in front of my car. As I was walking in the store, I thought about hitting the lock button on my keys but decided against it because if they heard the horn it might appear that I was being racist. I walk in the store and get my s---, come out and they all took off running with some of the tools I had in my car. Long story short I hopped in the car, chased them down, and got my a--- beat with my own tools.

    Moral of the story is don't let white guilt trump common sense.

    Yea the class itself seemed fine to me, but I feel like they were trying to stir s--- up with the title.

    Like I wouldn't name an early 1800s American history class "The benefit of Black People" or something of that nature, you know? Seems provocative just for the sake of being provocative. Although, the UW is pretty much known for being super liberal here in WI, so the move doesn't surprise me THAT much.

    I have also had people lock their car as I walk by, but I don't act like it's because of my d--- skin color.. Maybe people just want to protect their property, I see no issue with locking your car. I do it every time. f--- being accused of being racist, protect yourself man.

    im glad you chose to use smilies made from the faces of 2 african american male basketball players to spread diversity instead. Though i'll have to point out your post is a bit one-sided on the gender scale - Next time though try to progress-ify the post a bit more by adding a female smiley.

    Imagine the outrage if the professor tweeted "Black Genocide" here instead

    Can someone explain to me what exactly is meant with white guilt?

    I mean we shouldn't treat all black people different for what some of them do according to people (protect urself is fine, racism isn't)

    Or all cops for what some do (still think its disgusting that some say cops are pigs because of a few rotten apples, and they call other people trash lol)

    Same as I think its lame that white people should feel guilty for what fellow white people do.

    Honestly don't get it.
