I must be blessed to not suffer any white male guilt.
I understand that likely certain of my ancestors are probably responsible for bad things having happened to minorities in this country, but I’m not responsible for that. I take no ownership of it. I understand being in poverty is a hard cycle to escape, and that our culture shows preference to certain types of people over others, but I play no (knowingly) active part in that.
To some degree, I genuinely feel that people need to be responsible for themselves and stop blaming the rest of society. For example, I understand that the colonists that appeared in America back in the day did horrible things to the Native Americans. I understand that much of the Native American population is poor. But at some point I really don’t see the value in the United States government giving reparations to them anymore. I’m fairly certain people in Europe conquered other people in Europe over the centuries, and I doubt many of the conquered over there get reparations for it. I know that sounds callous, but I still feel that way.
