Sure, that's a nice strawman you got there. Who has ever blamed individual White people for institutional racism?

But that's the thing. If white people as a whole are not responsible for past successes, then they're not responsible for past injustices. If they are responsible, then the issue is whether or not it's a problem that this person fully identifies with their white identity.

I have been continually told by the progressive left that I am white, and therefore I must internalize my white identity to take responsibility for the past injustices imposed by white people. But the same logic is used by the alt-right, but for successes of western civilization.

Whether or not success and failures and injustices are the responsibility of a collectivist racial entity and not an individual is a question that is directly at odds with the precepts of identity politics, which demands identification as part of said collectivist racial entity.

Unless you can show me screen caps of that I call bullshit. No one is telling you that you specifically are responsible for any past injustice. White people >>>from the past<<< are responsible for what happened >>in the past<< you are responsible for what you do now.

If you argue to maintain the status quo, which is still tied to past injustices, then you are complicit & responsible for maintaining current injustices.

And that logic applies in reverse. If you argue to maintain the status quo, which is still tied to past successes, then you are complicit and responsible for maintaining current successes. Do you not see how the same logic is behind the "I built this country" statement?

Lol no, you would be complicit & responsible for maintaining the current successes. How the fuck would it mean that you actually created or were responsible for the successes in the first place? Do you not understand how time works????
