Regardless that your "ancestors" were not here during slavery, your ignorance REFUSES to let you see the privileges you recieve for being white.
If you had no guilt at being an oppressor and doing nothing about it, you wouldn't be here spewing (projecting) about how unfairly you think you are being treated.
You go on to say that " 'You' go out there committing all types of offenses". We know exactly whom you are referring to : The people that wish to dismantle and change the "master's" house and will be "servants" no longer.
It does not matter that your ancestors were not here during slavery. You are not aware of your white privilege, you are not aware of your eurocentric thinking and you are not aware of your imagination needing to be decolonized.
Stop polluting people's minds with lies.
Start looking in the mirror at the truth staring at you right in the face.

I don't feel guilty for being white. It's just my skin. I don't really think about it.
I was raised differently, in that I simply don't judge anyone based on the color of their skin and I don't think about my skin color all that much.
Yeah, I'm white, so what? So, other people have other colors of skin...so what?
My son has dark olive skin and it's really nice on him...so?
I simply have never once made a judgment based on skin color.
Racism completely baffles me.
I have dated many people of other races and the same race as me, I simply have no preference one way or another.
Skin is simply a covering over the organs of the body. We all bleed the same, we all have feelings, we all think, breath, eat, drink and make love.
People are people and it's what's inside that matters to me.

I am a proud Saltine-American. I don't feel guilty, my ancestors fought to end slavery and before that to create a nation.

What type of offenses are you talking about and who are you talking about? what kind of guilt?
Theirs no such thing because humans aren't even white, and if you were to place yourself next to polar bear, you'd understand that. It's simply superficial labels that society influences upon us, to classify ourself as white,black, or yellow. When we're not either of those colors.
As for the topic, I saw the website answered by Buff Scotman and its one of the most RACIST things i've ever seen in my entire life. I'm serious, thats the real deal, i didnt even know that the kkk existed anymore, and they their were nazi's everywhere.

I'm white, and I feel fine about it. I don't feel fine proclaiming my superiority to other races, because it doesn't exist. Stop listening to yourself talk and read a book for a change. You might learn something.

Did a white person tell you that they feel guilty because he or she did something wrong? i have never heard any white person say that he or she feels guilty.

Its the legacy of the Jewish liberal activists of the 60-70s. Some of us never bought into it.
