    17-YEAR-OLD TEENAGER SUES HIS PARENTS FOR BEING BORN WHITE

    St-Louis, MO | A 17-year-old is undertaking one of the most controversial lawsuits of the history of the country as he is suing his own biological parents for being born white.
    Anthony Dwight, 17, claims he has suffered his whole life from the shame of being born white.

    “When I was a kid, I’d spend hours in the shower trying to wash off the white off my skin, but it would never go away,” he recalls painfully.
    “Isn’t there enough white people on this planet already? Haven’t we inflicted enough suffering, racism and oppression in this world?” he asked reporters.

    [​IMG]
    His parents admit they were completely in shock when they learned their son had hired a lawyer against them. “We just want to end this nonsense and we want him to come back home. We love you whatever the color of your skin,” pleaded his mother on camera.

    White guilt
    The young man’s lawyer, Robert Hoffman, claims his client has suffered severe psychological distress, symptoms of depression and suicidal tendencies because of what he called “the burden of white privilege.”

    “My client did not choose to live this kind of life. Why would he have to carry the burden of hundreds of years of slavery and racism all because his parents had the selfish desire to bring another white child into this world,” he told the judge.

    “Because of the level of psychological distress of my client, we ask that his parents pay for all necessary expenses to change his racial status, including skin coloring treatments,” he added.

    Anthony Dwight, who plans to change his name to Jamal Freeman, is asking that his parents pay for the $20,000 skin coloring treatment he needs to turn his skin color to “dark black” he told reporters.
    His lawyer argued in court that $20,000 is a low price to pay to positively change this young man’s life, considering the suicidal tendencies of his client and the “profound feeling of shame and despair” his client has faced since his birth.

    Changing skin pigment isn’t going to change anything else.

    And it is just skin pigment (the only real difference)

    It will be interesting if there is judicial precedent that being "dark black" is more advantageous for an American than being white.

    Somehow, somewhere, I have a picture in my mind's eye of Rachel Dolezal/Nkechi Diallo reaching out to young Jamal:

    I’m pretty sure this is satire, or whatever you call weekly world news. Entertainment?

    In my life experience, it’s more advantageous to be black than anything else, except in one situation. The rare occasion that a racist can do you harm while avoiding laws/cameras (but that can obviously happen to anyone). People can complain about the rigged justice system, but I have plenty of white friends and family members that have been fucked by the judicial system. It’s rigged against poor people, not black people. DA’s aren’t going to convict their own police officers.

    I’ve travelled to quite a few places. Most recently Miami, and Atlanta. And trust me, you want to be anything other than white if you go to/live in those places.

    The picture in dviss1's post is of Rachel Dolezal's parents. The picture of the kid at the link is of a kid being sentenced for murder. People are so eager to believe anything that supports their biases, that fact checking doesn't even cross their mind. There are many broken bullshit detectors amongst the S2 community it seems.

    AH! So this shit isn't actually in this kids mind! Makes sense.
    Interesting how dviss conjured it up then.

    You personally? I have no clue. But just between 5 days in Miami, and 4 days in Atlanta, I had like 20 racist things happen to me.

    I would love to go back to Miami, cause I could tell that, that wasn’t the majority of people’s feelings towards white people. But I’ll never go back to Atlanta.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw this article was that it was from the Onion.
