Civil Rights Icon Slams Liberal Obsession with White Guilt as 'Insulting'
'They're doing this in the name of "pursuing justice for blacks," but I don't think they care at all about blacks.'

"Civil rights icon Robert Woodson blasted the race-hustling left for infantilizing the black community and weaponizing white guilt to stoke racial resentment among black people.
He said he’d rather deal with an overt bigot over the covert white supremacist masquerading as a patronizing white liberal who perpetuates the left’s bigotry of low expectations for black people.
Woodson is the founder of the nonpartisan Woodson Center and the 1776 Unites campaign, whose aim is to counter the anti-American rhetoric of The New York Times’ 1619 Project."
He called white guilt “insulting” because it’s premised on the racist notion that black people can’t achieve anything on their own and constantly need the help of liberal “white saviors.”
“It’s insulting. In fact, I was telling some people I prefer the old-fashioned bigot than somebody who patronizes me and tells me they’re sorry for being white,” Woodson said Wednesday on Just the News’ “John Solomon Reports” podcast.
“Give me an old-fashioned bigot, because I think at least they have a level of respect that some of these guilty white people who are … professing white guilt [lack]. I find them disgusting.”
He said patronizing white liberals don’t realize that excusing black underachievement or lowering standards inhibits success and self-reliance.
“To me, it’s liberal racism, because you’re treating people as impotent children,” Woodson said. “I want to say to guilty white people, ‘Stop helping us! Yes, please stop helping us!'”
The 83-year-old civil rights legend said the left has cleverly weaponized the race card to attack and silence its political opponents in order to control the black community — and by extension, the black vote.
