Who cares if white american kids feel guilty they are supposed to
I don’t necessarily think people should feel guilty for anything they didn’t personally do. That’s like saying I should feel guilty and responsible for another black man committing a crime.
But if history is taught accurately, and they feel bad..
I’m not about making white people feel bad for being white. I’m about them knowing the effects of history, the system, and how certain words and treatment are condescending towards us.
I also think pragmatically, and know they aren’t going to just give up anything to benefit us, and ending racism isn’t beneficial to them. They know on a truly equal playing field, they aren’t always the best, and wouldn’t be on top. This is why I think it’s pointless to keep having these conversations, articles, protests, etc. because this isn’t a case of them not understanding. They understand what’s happening. They play dumb because it doesn’t benefit them to change anything.
