But no one asked for your guilt or your shame. If you feel it... fine, I guess? I'm not asking you to feel guilt but if you want to, cool.

What I need, what black folks need, what YOU need is a sense of responsibility. Again, it's like having a bad kid.

If your bad kid does something, no, YOU didn't personally do it, so you shouldn't feel guilty for what your kid did, but you are RESPONSIBLE

You're responsible for making restitution for what your bad kid did, and you're responsible for changing the kid's behavior.

If you truly are a "good white person" you ought to feel responsible for the crimes perpetrated by the institution of white supremacy.

You should only feel GUILT for what you personally have done to perpetuate it. But you are responsible for the institution.

And while I'm at it, it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom YOU'RE BAD AND YOUR ANCESTORS WERE BAD.

Some of that is necessary, but only as a part of achieving a bigger and better goal: authentically multicultural liberal democracy.
