This is my favorite new phenomenon. It is a combination of pathological narcissism and racism. Maybe call it racissism?

As a narcissist, this guy thinks that since he feels uncomfortable, everyone else who is black must feel uncomfortable……because he also believes that all black people are the same. Awesome. Good stuff.
You hit the nail on the head: a primary feature of narcissism is that other people are responsible for the way you feel. I've had to ingest white Millennial faculty claim that their whiteness causes harm. Well, blackness causes harm too. It could even cause MORE harm. But they turn it on white behavior, label that wrong, and insist white people do what -- not act "white"? Well then should we act "black"? What would that do? The whole thing is so ridiculously stupid it's a wonder anyone is falling for it.
“I’ve had to ingest white millennial faculty claim that their whiteness causes harm.”

This is also a manifestation of narcissism. When you believe you are the center of the universe you perceive that you have an outsized impact on everything around you.
NO. I grew up in a van down by the river on the outskirts of Appalachia. I'm done with 'uber-compassionate' Liberals "helping" me. 90% of it has always been about them getting their dopamine hits, while making a comfortable living off of their 'oh so massive' compassion.
What makes people who they are in life is how they play the hand that they are dealt. But there is a tribe of people that get So Freaking High off of taking that option away from other people.
There is a reason people compete for the title of "most empathetic". It makes them feel good. It's an addiction. On more levels than one.
What kinds of solutions could have evolved from the ground up if the anointed hadn't been forcing their own self-serving panaceas down our throats?
It's one thing to lend a hand, (10%) and entirely another to play God (90%). And don't think for a second that people that have zero experience with money are going to have have a clue how to use your reparations. (I'd go long on doordash, fentanyl, purple drink and Nike.)
Guess the uber-compassionate will have to build up another huge Leviathan like apparatus to monitor and supervise the reparations process, with an 80% set aside for "administrative processes". Yum yum, more dopamine hits and cushy jobs for the "anointed"! More marshmallows, peanuts and circuses for the "unfortunate" among us. But don't it feel good?
Through the decades since that skit, I run across people that mention they live in a van, or trailer-motorhome. I can't help but ask them if they are down by the river.
Would you include in the payers a white whose parents immigrated to the US in 1970? This reparations game is a huge scam and lacks any rational basis. You rail against the woke insanity but embrace one of its core values of victimization. Just for giggles, take a look at the 100 richest people in America. Almost no inherited wealth and few, if any, whose wealth originated from slavery. This is just a giant con game and smart people such as you shouldn't be complicit in it.
“Almost no one inherited wealth…”. Maybe, if emphasis is on word “inherited”, but most got a big leg up with high six or seven figure loans from parents or friends for their first ventures. Bootstraps are bullshit.
Jeff Bezos was born to a teen mom in New Mexico. Only 16% of millionaires inherited more than $100,000 and 3% inherited over $1 million.
You must just not know any rich people. That’s fine. I know a lot of them. Only a small fraction are spoiled inheritance brats and most of them end up like Hunter Biden because it’s the same as a government welfare program.
You’ve been manipulated by propaganda. Even if your assertion was based in fact, the only way to solve it would be totalitarianism.
Again, I didn’t say anything about inheriting anything. I know many rich people, am a graduate of an Ivy League college and law school myself. Most of my fellow students who weren’t on scholarship weren’t taking out loans and their parents had often paid for years of boarding schools and travel and sports. Yet they didn’t see themselves as privileged.
Most of these entrepreneurs get large loans from friends and family. Most startups aren’t just one dude writing code in his garage before cashing in.
Maybe most of the start up businesses go bankrupt (supposedly) but that only seems to hurt the investors and hedge funders who put up most of the speculative investment and can afford to lose. The “founders” of these companies just go on to their next “opportunity”. They aren’t stocking shelves at WalMart or living in a tent in a park or in their cars.
I don’t get why people who aren’t rich spend so much time defending them and not being concerned about extreme wealth inequality. Stockholm Syndrome?
First, I am coming from the country which was so much concerned about wealth inequality that it made everyone poor, killing millions in the process. Second, you were talking about family and friends giving loans, so they are loosing money when start up goes down, seems like a fair trade-off. Third, I personally know a few young people who are stocking shelves after receiving very expensive education paid by parents. And last - every private school in SAF/Bay Area is ready to accept poor minority kids and educate them for free, they just need parents who care enough to apply. Which, by the way, takes away merit scholarships for middle class kids. The same goes for universities and colleges.
Pal Joey? The working guy from Scranton? Tamer of Corn Pop? Savior of Mandela? The guy who said "if you don't vote for me yo ain't black?" That Joey? A descendant of slavers?
(It’s also possible that he is lying about feeling uncomfortable and he is just using that as a weapon to dominate people by exploiting their empathetic response. I think that’s called sociopathy.)
A few years ago, Starbucks closed all their stores for a day or racial-resentment training after a manager in Philadelphia had attempted to enforce company policy. One of the training videos showed a black guy saying he was afraid to leave his house and then showed a white guy saying he just leaves the house and does his thing whenever he feels like it. Thank you, Howard Schultz, for your contribution to our national healing.
See Also famous Black leaders: Du Bois (who was terrible & BLM celebrates) vs. Booker T. Washington (who was awesome & BLM vilifies)
Washington believed Blacks should work hard, study hard, be good citizens, have economic independence and create wealth for themselves, while Du Bois created NAACP and believed in fighting the system for rights via laws & mandates. Du Bois was a Pan-Africanist & Socialist.
Some of us, being all too familiar with American history, hold the opinion that both approaches were necessary, and important. I mean, as if the State oppression of de jure segregation was ever going to be overthrown without "fighting the system via laws and mandates." Much of the oppression that W.E.B. Du Bois fought took the form of "laws and mandates" (particularly in various State law codes); none of it was going to be overturned without challenges in the arena of the law courts. A battle much more arduous than it should have been.
It's worth noting that Ibram X. Kendi doesn't think much of either Du Bois or Booker Washington. As Kendi editorializies in his book Stamped From The Beginning, which is part (mostly accurate) history and part (terribly flawed) polemic, they're both too "assimilationist" to meet his imperious presentist/essentialist standards.

Note to Rochée: fuck you. They're not "uncomfortable"--they're unemployed, you dumb asshole.
Great comment. Thanks.

Sounds like “reparations” and revenge, and is totally racist.

You’re speaking truth.

I am no millionaire but my life is absolute proof that bootstraps aren’t just real, they’re critical.
Everything is a matter of perspective.
Jeff Bezos was born to a teen mom in New Mexico. Only 16% of millionaires inherited more than $100,000 and 3% inherited over $1 million.

A million dollars isn't what it used to be. Plenty of millionaires are self-made, but the majority of billionaires are not.

And most of them go bankrupt, I hope you know.

Biden’s ancestors owned slaves so we start by zeroing out his family’s bank accounts.
Pal Joey? The working guy from Scranton? Tamer of Corn Pop? Savior of Mandela? The guy who said "if you don't vote for me yo ain't black?" That Joey? A descendant of slavers?
Say it ain't so.

Indeed. His Cuomo is outstanding:

Kamala Harris’ Jamaican family owned slaves as well yet she keeps doing the ‘BIPOC dance’. The entire movement is immoral.

What’s being revealed in this moment is how racist ‘blacks’ themselves are or can be….
We gotta stop letting division dominate our calculations.
I like much of what Hoffer had to say, but that quote is a little too cut and dried. I'm not much for such unequivocal sweeping generalizations.
Sounds like he’s talking about my ex.
