@david it also depends on which whites you're talking about. my ancestors were крестьяне (peasant slaves who worked the land) at one point, so that has nothing to do with me.

at the same time, i think a little guilt is natural, especially if it was your lineage that was directly involved in colonialism or the slave trade. it's only human. but the fetishization of it is really gross, it's taking advantage of people for cheap brownie points
