RENO, Nev. (AP) - Madeleine Pickens wanted the African-American chef she recruited from the country club she owns in Southern California to cook "black people food" - not "white people food" - at her rural Nevada dude ranch and wild horse sanctuary, according to a federal lawsuit accusing her of racial discrimination.

(from The White Man's Guilt by James Baldwin)
Do not blame me. I was not there. I did not do it. My history has nothing to do with Europe or the slave trade. Anyway it was your chiefs who sold you to me. I was not present in the middle passage.
I am not responsible for the textile mills of Manchester, or the cotton fields of Mississippi.
So, how can a man born in Finland be responsible for textile mills of Manchester, or the cotton fields of Mississippi?
The essay written by Baldwin is more than 50 years old, but from the comments I read in the internet (on American news browsers), white people will be guilty for eternity of the black slavery...
and then, children of interracial marriages, should they fill white man's guilt?

I asked because I read this piece of news...

And also, I'm reading this at the moment,

And finally, because Americans love to teach other nations how they should live.
Ok, now can you tell me what either the article about 'black people food' or a 51 years old piece by James Baldwin has to do with your question?
