(65,616 posts)Unnoticed by the very person asking the question. I DO NOT FEEL guilt about being white...I notice that I have DIFFERENT STANDARDS by which society judges me...as opposed to say a women or black person (I am a white man).
So you see, you are confused by your own emotions as to why you feel the way you do. NOBODY is saying you should feel guilt...unless you are defensively saying that is what is being said by others!
Think about it, it is called recognizing institutionalized racism and maybe doing something about it in a small or large way. And even if you DO NOT, there is still no guilt involved. You are under no obligation to even acknowledge such a thing, free country.
Guilt only follows around those that feel guilty. In case ya didn't know that.
Ask me how I know.
