You’re not blessed. The concept of pervasive white guilt is so overblown. 99% of people with functioning brains don’t feel guilty about their gender or race.

Aw, I thought I was special.

I think you’re right. Somehow though, the idea gets great promotion and a moral cachet it doesn’t deserve.

However privilege, and the privileged blindness to it, is quite real.

Maybe I am special!
