You can rephrase your first sentence to make it correct by putting the word feeling before the word guilt.
Never once have I felt so guilty, feeling guilt for being labeled as "black."
Just a side comment but why should people feel guilt with their skin color? I mean all of us are humans. Skin color does not define the value of our humanity.

It really ought to be, "Never once have I felt so guilty for being labeled as 'black.'" Or, "Never once have I felt so guilty for being labeled 'black.'"
But I'd go with the second if I had to choose between the two you have.

Kudo's america we've finally isolated the blacks to the point where they feel guilty for being as such. and indeed you should feel guilty what were you thinking?

The second is correct, however does it make any difference to someone who writes as badly as you do and cannot even bother with he Spell Check button?
