There's a difference between what you call white guilt and accepting that our history wasn't all good and working on not repeating it. White guilt is a fringe phenomenon, which may be shared by a few activists. Working on making things better in the future and accepting our own wrongdoings is somethíng everyone should do, since it's aimed at creating a better environment for everyone.
Who's wrong doings? When you say our own.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
