I dont partake in white guilt. My families true cultures have been destroyed by slavery, persecution, empire expansion, and ignorance. The fact most white people consider themselves white, and the bad guys of history is sad. Im Druid, Celtic, Wampanoag, Gaelic, Cabo Verde, and much more. If you think because your skin has less melanin that you should be ashamed, youve been bamboozled. Look into white slavery, the truth about indentured servitude, the origin of the word redneck, the slave conditions and child labor of the Norths Industrial revolution. The fact so many average Americans have accepted a lot of the guilt of the Souths slavery shows the brainwash and ignorance of this nations past. The truth that slavery was always about money and not about race should help people open their eyes to the current, newer form of slavery weve accepted. Its still going on today, and the right people arent being held responsible because of this white oppressor myth, that keeps back all oppressed people. This country was still in legally enforced apartheid up until the early 70s, and the remnants of that are still causing room for cultural separation and misunderstanding. White schools, black neighborhoods, etc is the reality in most of this country, which allows both races to be tricked into their respective roles and pathetic media portrayed stereotypes. In the end we all get screwed for the benefit of a very small percent of both races. Sincerely; someone lucky enough to get to know amazing, intelligent, inspiring people of all races and is sick of hearing people accepting the stereotypes and white/black paradigm.
