By now you have hopefully recognised that you have white privilege and moved to the place of acknowledging that white privilege is a thing in your life. So what now? This is where a lot of [angry] people start bringing up the idea of ‘white guilt’ which is what i want to tackle in this next video… because i don’t think it’s a thing:
Race with me: White guilt?

lol u funny. But stop this boring posts. Go back to being a funny man. You better comedian than some rasta guevara. Rasta guevara litstneing to Tracy CHapman fast car all day
Actually i don’t own Tracey Chapman Fast Cars but it’s a great song and good point, i should get it!
ya not bad her music hey.
Lets hear more about you what music you like on you site.
lesss zzzzz more fun! If you are obsesed with racist post then its boring after awhile I saw your other posts and its all about blacks and whites so lets hear about you hobbies and work and interest things.
hey charmaine, you do know that you don’t have to read my blog posts right? your comment makes it sound like someone is forcing you… if you want interesting posts that are not about race click the Taboo Topics tab and read some incredible stories from different people dealing with rarely spoken about things… my work deals with race and conversations and bringing people together so you are hearing all about that so really just doing what you asked…
Your video offers 1080 resolution but when I set it to that, I could still not make out those books titles on your shelf. Please use a decent camera next time as I can’t ready anything on your shelf.
Your video seems like you are quite an intelligent chap, but you seem to have OCD combined with severe angst – you might need professional help. I advise it.
Mostly Pratchett and Pearls Before Swine comics [i should send some of those to you, oh wait, or not?] – strangely enough the purpose of the videos is NOT so people will read the books on my shelf, strange that.
One might wonder about how you spend all your time coming up with these riveting comments. Of all the things you could do with your time, writing these is what you chose? One of us might need help for sure…
I have been for help once, but the pills did not work too well. Anxiety pills but I tossed em in the toilet – bad stuff that.
I assumed the bookshelf was for reading. Please sit closer or at least do a video on what you’ve read as the bookshelf thing I’m sure people are interested in. You would also want to know if you were the viewer. So either better resolution, sit closer or a review session.
I think maybe a gopro and you outdoors will be better. This indoor stuff is a bit office like. Too serious. A blue haired man sitting by a book shelf as others say is a bid strange.
Like a smurf
He sits on his turf
Toiling like a serf
Looking for a surf
Gopro – you need it. Go out and film outdoors.
lol a smurf
It does look out of focus why offer HD? ??
. I agree. I looked at your eyes and then changed to 1080 and was still blurry.
Maybe you just tired but it is blurred. Use an HD cam then upload. 1080…
i’m afraid i don’t have the money to buy a fancy camera – i use my laptop cam and it does the job i am wanting it to do which is not have people be able to see what is on my bookshelf… thanks for the advice though…
Ya on the youtube i wonder why it says 1080. Prolly youtube doing it so sorry to accuse you. So what is on the book case?
your site is fun – you do a lot of writng wow! so are you a minister? dont get me wrong here your site is fun, but no more of these sad posts as we not thinking about guilt as we did nt do apartheid but were against it. yes we must help blacks as they cant get on their feet easy.
A lot of Terry Pratchett and Pearls before Swine comic strip books mostly and some Roald Dahl…
i am not officially a minister but i have been a pastor of sorts at various times in my life and still do a bunch of preaching and stuff when the opportunity arises but not working for a church at the moment – am a freelance writer for an online magazine and busy writing a book on Race for white people…
Many of the people who didn’t do apartheid didn’t do all that much against it and for all of us there is a whole lot of work to be done because many people are still living lives with the consequences of apartheid [especially those who were displaced and humanised] and so i will continue to speak into that – it’s not about feeling guilty but about recognising responsibility and being part of change.
Your last sentence makes me think you don’t have any close friendships with black people. When you refer to them as “blacks” that sounds a lot like “those people” which feels patronising and looking down upon which is completely horrible. i would strongly encourage you to befriend some people of other race and really prioritise your friendships with them as there is so much to learn and experience together.
why not try this look

That is amazing! Filing it away for future use…
morning wayne and brett. so we have a big storm coming our way yay!
Morning all. Yeah sounds like it could be quite hectic. Which part of Cape Town are you from Charmaine? i am Diep River and i spent the morning cleaning out our gutters to hopefully make it less perilous when the rain comes. Be safe out there.
Morning people. So it seems your videos are all in one resolution and that is about 480. We need to get you up to speed with HD and Full HD as this won’t cut it in the professional broadcast world. So a crowdfund is needed.

Thanks Wayne, fortunately i’m not in the professional broadcasting world but simply You Tube land but if you want to start a crowdfunder and send me the money so you can see those book titles, you are welcome to it!
Do your GoPro videos in the township! You’ll get more views!
That may be true but i don’t like the idea of milking townships for money. i would love to tell stories from the townships but in ways that feel safe and uplifting to them!
It won’t milk them. You can give them a percentage your choice.
Nobody knows much about townships. So if you went there tomorrow in the storm and did your video there… wow!
Since i film my videos using my laptop webcam that could be quite awkward and require a whole lot of extension lead… actually a lot of people know a lot about townships and the key thing is to go to one, also befriending people who live there and then visiting them and spending time in their space is a great way to find out about life that side. You should try it.
I do not feel guilty so what is this guilt-thing you mention? Its not white privilege, its just white intelligence and cleverness which is passed on from generation to generation.
Karl, thanks for stopping by. A quick hint is if you watch the video you are commenting on BEFORE you actually make the comment, your comment might actually have some relevance to the conversation at hand. So try that and then we can try this again…
