I guess the "white guilt/privilege" part flew past me because I don't have any guilt. The "get educated, read a book" part did shock me though.
Don't be sorry, it's an interesting video and I think a lot of it is spot on too. I just think you might have gotten fewer comments than you expected because it's been seen before, though it looks to have been reposted with a current date and is creating a lot of buzz this time out too.
None of the content offends me at all, though I find some of the message to be more thought-provoking and productive than other parts.
Anyway the guy going by Dixon D. White in the video, Jorge Eugene Moran, is not a redneck. He's a half white and half Cuban and describes himself as an actor, director, and anti-racist activist. He may well mean everything he says while in character and the experiences he describes in the video may be true; I don't know.
In any case, the video got a lot of positive reaction and people thinking about Dixon D. White's message on America's racist culture last time it was circulated too.
