    Default Anti-racism ad campaign in Minnesota town called 'racist' by critics

    By Perry Chiaramonte
    Published June 22, 2012
    FoxNews.com


    A controversy over an anti-racism campaign some local critics say is itself racist is roiling the Iron Range city of Duluth, Minn.
    The Un-Fair Campaign addresses what it calls ‘white privilege’ with billboards, posters and online videos assigning guilt to people with taglines like, “Is white skin really fair skin?” and “I am a white man. That’s unfair.” The ads are plastered across a city where 90 percent of the population is Caucasian.
    The campaign aims to “raise awareness about white privilege in our community, provide resources for understanding and action, and facilitate dialogue and partnership that result in fundamental, systemic change towards racial justice,” according to its website.
    A coalition of co-sponsors including the City of Duluth, the University of Minnesota-Duluth, the NAACP, League of Women Voters and the YWCA hopes the effort will “result in fundamental, systemic change towards racial justice.”

    White man's guilt is the most racist form ever taken, as it derives from white man's burden.

    I still don't understand what their goal is? Raise sympathy for the non-white races among whites, or what...???

    Turning the problem around: the problem is not the colored people, the problem is the white people who are racist. We live in a world where it is fine to be racist against the white for "all the bad things they have done in the past".

    nobody wants to be racist against white people just because they are white but the trouble is that in a multicultural world that we live in ,the distrust amongst us is so high that it leads to conflict.

    now when you talked about "ancestors" ie the European colonialist, i have to say that unfortunately that the crimes committed by the the colonial empires were so severe in nature that they can never be forgiven...only time will heal the pain and suffering caused by them.

    Not all european nations had colonial empires and enslaved other people so its more racists to put every white person in to one bag. On the other hand its funny how africans and african americans forget that arabs did more harm to them than western empires. But we live in a hypocritical and ignorant world.

    BTW i dont expect this thread will last long

    I absolutly love sh!t like this! About hurt myself. Makes my day visiting MP net... sometimes. These sorts of hamhanded attempts at guilting people into giving up money and liberties make for wonderful educational tools to immunize the kids against the big con.

    Thanks Mein Teil

    Yippers. But it is easier to rally against the evil white than it is to look at the rest of the worlds history of violence, bigotry, slavery, racism of one group or culture against another. And anyone wanting me to suffer the "white mans guilt" can go shove that idea up their azz as far as it will go. Then push it further.

    im sick of seeing the double race standard. all hell breaks loose whenever someone says ANYTHING about the black race, even when most of the stereotypes exist for a reason. But its okay for blacks and liberal whites with a guilt syndrome to stereotype and talk smack about whites all day.

    instead of blaming whites for everything, blacks need to step up to the plate, acknowledge theres a reason so many stereotypes exist, and address the issues plaguing their youth.

    Stereotypes or not, racism is when you apply stereotypes to all members of a group and discriminate based on that, and not on individual criteria.

    Though I agree it often goes the other way. When I'm called a racist because I'm white, the sheer paradox of it just confuses me so much I have a hard time answering.

    Just so you all know. You are only guilty of the actions you do. What someone did 100 years before your birth is nothing. What matters is you actions now.
    The ad makes no sense and the people in it are muppets.
