Is there anything that an American white christian can say that will not offend someone in this world?
It seems that American White Christians are expected to apologize for every little thing that they say or do wrong.
What about the non-american, non-white, non-christians, how come they never apologize?

Because non caucasian people are a bunch of whiny crybabies that like to blame caucasians for all of their problems. I say to hell with all of them. Let them complain about their miserable existence, it will get them nowhere.

I am an American white christian, and I say plenty that does not offend. But then, I am a christian who understands my job is not to judge others, or make my judgements known regularly even if I have them. My job is not to support the GOP simply because they wave flags, fear and the cross in my face and expect me to follow blindly. I celebrate diversity and understand that gay people can be christians too, and that lots of black people are smarter than me and that there still is racism, sexism and classism in the America I dearly love. American White Christians are no less expected to apologize for what they do wrong than are other people...Ray Nagin comes to mind, when he compared the WTC event as a 'hole in the ground' or stated his expectation that New Orleans become a chocolate city. Fact is, whether you are white, black, gay, or whatever, inappropriate comments are inappropriate comments, and an apology is both deserved and expected. It's simply the polite and decent thing to do if you say or do something wrong, and that's all it is.

10 things an American White Christian can say that is not offensive:
1. ...and Blessed Be to you too!
2. You are Muslim? Wow. I am Christian. Let's be friends.
3. Well, I don't know much about witchcraft, but hey--good luck with that!
4. I respect your opinion on Evolution, I just happen to like Creationism myself better.
5. I'm sorry to hear that you are having an abortion. I hope all goes well for you.
6. I respect your opinion as a woman.
7. You are gay? Well I am not, but I hope you find your soul mate, whoever they are.
8. We Christians find answers to all of life's little problems in the bible--kind of like the Muslims with the Q-uran, and the Hindus with their Baghavad Gita (sp?).
9. Happy Kwanza/Hannukkah!
10. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I do have some bible verses that may help you...would you like to have them?
It's all about tolerance.
Blessed Be,
A Pagan

Right On!!
I agree!!
Shout it from the rooftops!!!
We also apologize when we have done nothing wrong but someone doesn't agree so they cry "discrimination"
It 's okay to offend the masses so long as we don't offend a few people. Makes no sense to me.

What are you talking about? The American White Christian's voices and viewpoints are represented most strongly in any given media.

being white doesn't mean that daddy has a trust fund, and you instantly get a BMW at 16. there are alot of po *** white people, and once blacks and whites realize that we have alot in common... like being po as hell, then we might be able to do something about it
