It’s Called A Shakedown, Baby
Attention, rubes, dupes and suckers. Do you pretend to experience crippling racial guilt in order to appear pious and fit in? Is “white supremacy,” “white privilege” and all that other pretentious angst weighing on your shoulders, harshing your buzz? Do you want to empower, or at least enrich, some “black femme freedom fighters”? Do you require monthly “tasks” – and a monthly bill of $100 – to atone for your pallor and “pay reparations” – to prove that, despite being white, you’re not a terrible person, unlike all those other awful white people?
Via dicentra, who reminds us that the above is not a work of satire.
Jonathan,
WTF!
Given that the top picture has a nice handy logo to do Googlemancy with . . . .

Gee, thanks Hal.
Google not necessary.
I knew exactly what I was seeing.
No need to blog-splain.
I stand by my comment; child abuse or parenting by lefty loons, if you prefer.

The circumstances do look utterly bloody interesting, yes.
Not to circle back to the Revenge Box, but the whole idea is that you find a person who, more-or-less by definition, believes you’re wasting your money on a preposterous scam, and tell him “hey guess what I wasted my money on? That’ll show you!”
Anyone insulted by this glib summary is invited to show me the error of my ways by buying me many revenge boxes.

The comments, when sorted by ‘best’, show an encouragingly vigorous pushback from saner WaPo readers and are worth the read.

Fetch cake for Lord Bob.
I’d love to see Diamond and Silk’s take on this.
Looks like the BBC are big fans.

But of course.
Garrett Morris et al were, so it seems, just slightly ahead of their time.
So Attemptdog, this life is a joke. I said as much on an Enlglish composition paper back in 1977 or so as a cynical teenager. IIRC I got a C- and eye rolls. Perhaps I should request a recount.
Because you have to prove, and prove continually, that despite appearances you aren’t actually a white devil.
Always maintain the proper expression before the telescreen.

According to assorted notes, this was an email reply to a mailing list back in about 2002 . . .
I love the $100 box. Not only do you pay $1200 a year you are given a list of tasks to perform every month and you have to report back on it. The Annual performance review should be fun too “nope still a white bigot.”
This is what I’m struggling with. I go out to the letterbox and read a note that says “I paid a hundred bucks, feel guilty motherfucker!” accompanied by some sort of demand.
It’s a sure fire way to alienate people. People that may have been under the impression they were your friend.
