JD really needs to apologize to all the decent people who identify as white. He's not a credit to your race. He's an embarrassment, an aberrant, incompetent, self loathing, lying, twat.

It continues to amuse me that, with just a slight typo, our vice president becomes JV Dance.

But then I imagine Trump wanting to go to that dance, and I barf a little.

don't have to apologize for being white = don't have to apologize for being racist, the meaning could not be clearer.

They don't treat anyone different based on their race or gender. Tell that to the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who was fired at the pinnacle of a fine career *explicitly" because he was black, and therefore couldn't have earned his position by merit. Ditto with the Admiral who led the Coast Guard, fired not for poor conduct, but because Hegseth thinks we "need men running things."

JD (Just Douchebaggery) Vance is an empty bag of hatred

The EEOC has recently started trolling for white men who may have been discriminated against by DEL. It's Bizzaro World where everything is the opposite of what it should be.

Read something really ironic today. As you probably know, the Chernobyl reactors have been damaged by the Russians and some highly radioactive spaces have been exposed. Ukrainian scientists have been astonished to find black molds growing in some of the most radioactive areas -- not only growing there but spreading in the direction of increasing radioactivity. It appears that the molds have rapidly evolved, and have developed an ability that no other living thing on earth has -- they can use at least some of the energy from radioactivity for their own purposes, the way photosynthesis uses sunlight. Radioactivity makes them HEALTHIER. This is astonishing because radioactivity is far more disruptive than light, and would be expected to kill or scramble living beings. It turns out that the molds have found a substance that shields them from the tissue damage, and it's something we've seen before. It's melanin -- the same stuff that makes black skin black. Some of the frogs in the area have also turned black, and it looks like they may have evolved the same ability. That's nature -- if you have a source of energy, sooner or later you find out how to use it. It's been about thirty years since the Chernobyl accidents -- they certainly didn't lose any time.

I can see some interesting stories being written on the basis of this.... It would be hilarious if all the astronauts on long space trips had to be black, since white guys were just too damn delicate to stand the environment. Or had to wear lead underwear.

It is a sign of humanity to apologize, not for who you are, but for a wrong that was done by your kin.

Apologies are pointless kabuki, especially when the fault or crime was not committed by you. Repairing the damage is the only thing that counts. But apologies are very cheap, and easy to give if you're sufficiently shameless. Repairing damage is very difficult and tends to be expensive.

I never held people in slavery, but I know for a fact that my ancestors did. I try not to engage in expressions of sorrow for that as a kind of posing or as you put it "kabuki".

As for reparations I've done what I can. I don't see that as pointless.

I don't see reparations as pointless either. Especially when we can identify specific harms, such as redlining making it much more difficult for black families to accumulate capital by buying property and thus reducing the funds they have had available for such things as sending children to university. But thinking of exactly how, in a practical sense, you could do something about that is the problem. I'm sure there is a solution, but I'm sure it won't be easy.

As a young man I worked in the civil rights movement and marched with Dr. King. As a teacher for 30 years I tried to bring the evils of our history to light. I did and still do what I can.

I deeply apologize for JD Vance being white.

As a white man myself, and one who's been openly gay for 54 years, I also apologize for his being stupid; ignorant; dishonest; racist; spineless; hypocritical; low-class; white trash; and a servant of Donald Trump and the racist Peter Thiel.

Fortunately, it's not my fault that he's all those things, so my apology is only as meaningful as any of the rancid bullshit that he apparently eats for breakfast and then regurgitates throughout the day.

"We don’t persecute you for being male, for being straight, for being gay, for being anything"

As someone who is part of that " being anything" group, you definitely are persecuting us.

The only thing missing from this meeting of the not- so- great white guys was white hoods and burning crosses.

At every press conference this guy holds, someone should ask him how many couches he has fucked in the past week. It's only fair. If immigrants are being hassled for eating pets, Vance should be hassled for fucking couches.
