Should white people pay an equality tax?

It’s Time for White People to Pay for Privilege: The Equality Tax

Should white folks pay extra taxes for redistribution amongst minorities? Some leftists believe that they should and even propose that white LGBT members are not exempt from paying the extra tax.

Would you agree with such a policy if it happened?

That looks like it's either a parody or troll website. Either way, I wouldn't take it seriously or view its "news" as credible.

From the article
UPDATE (2/27): We have reached out to the author of this article. They have confirmed that if you were born white, but identify as a different race or otherkin, you would be void from paying the Equality Tax. You would just have to submit proof that this transformation is genuine.

This is a weird thing to be a liberal website:

"A Liberal told me to Move To Somalia, So I did
written by User Submitted
After giving what was nothing short of a dissertation on the endless atrocities committed by government’s worldwide, I received one of the most profound suggestions:

Why don’t you just move to Somalia?

I didn’t know what to do or what to say. I’ve been a libertarian for 5 years and I’ve never heard this before. I quickly Googled “Somalia” and found that there’s no concrete representation of what could be considered a state."

... And

"Suicide: The Only Way to Truly Escape Privilege?
written by User Submitted
Recently, my grandmother and I got into genealogy when she saw a commercial for an online service that helps you discover your family origins. Her not being the best with computers, asked me to help. I was ecstatic, because I don’t spend enough time with her and who knows how long she will be around on this earth. So we signed up.

This is where things took a turn for the worse.

After we put in our names, birth dates, locations, etc. we started doing some digging into the results. We found out that we were of German descent which was fascinating by itself. I didn’t know I was German. We were shown several German names that we were connected to via bloodline, and after some more digging…

Nazis.
I could not believe it. As soon as I realized that I was related to Nazis and Nazi supporters, I closed my laptop. Tears welled up in my eyes as I realized who I was and where I came from. My grandmother was quiet and agreed that we should stop pursuing this endeavor. She didn’t speak of it again."

This is obviously fake.

I love them too. Just attribute them to Einstein or Gandhi and get ready for the flood of resposting on social media. :D

And yet it has that much content, including "user-uploaded" content. In this story about Somalia, there is a meme that is common use on 4chan, which is a group of nerds who basically do stuff like this all the time... No user names... all content is basically consistent. If it was user-uploaded content, then it wouldn't read like the same person writing it over and over.

Chances of not actually being really outside someone trying to purposefully make leftists look bad by taking over exaggerated forms of their positions: 99%

Seriously? Wtf? Are you ****ing kidding me? This notion is completely ridiculous, hypocritical, and unconstitutional in most nations.

I'm sure whoever proposed this was an anti Nazi, so think about it. Adolf Hitler imposed an additional tax penalty on Jews during his time in office. This is the exact same thing, but of course....

Oh, gawd!

Have you ever heard of the Civil Right Act of.....1866? It's only 151 years old! It makes it unconstitutional to discriminate (and that's exactly what this is) against anyone on account of race! How about the Civil rights acts of 1871, or 1957, 1964, 1968, 1991?

Is there white privilege? Yes, in certain areas? Ask a white guy how hard it is to make it in rap? Here's an idea! How about instead of asking poor white trash to pay an extra 5%, we ask the actual privileged people, those with money, to pay a bit more?

If you wanna tell me a white guy is more likely to trust me than a black guy (I am white, on the outside) then I'm inclined to agree much of the time that's true. But fact is there have been 1000's of times when a black person got to go before me merely based on the fact that he was in line before me!

On the other hand if you want to tell me I should pay 5% more of my measly salary than some JA like KWest or whatever he calls himself, because I'm privileged and he's not, then you can GFYS!

Note: no need to report my post. I'm reporting it myself and asking the mods to send me a warning!

I don't know which is worse:
That I can't find anything on the website being a fake/satire site, or that people want to assume such idiocy is characteristic of the Left as a whole.

That is the most retarded thing I've ever heard.
That's a very insensitive thing to say with Democrates within earshot.

In regards to the OP.

<Yawn>

Anyone wishing to extract a discriminatory tax from my white hide can talk to my computer controlled .50 cal's hidden in my lovely shrubbery.

Why jump on this absurdity as if it represents any broader movement? The job it hopes to achieve is done better by adjusting taxation according to income bracket/accumulated wealth.

I don't think this is real. It's also a really stupid & racist idea. And please stop tarring all lefties as a group. It's getting old, MD. It's getting really old.
