I feel like white guilt is useless. Don't be guilty about what your ancestors did, work to dissemble the current power structures in America that continue to divide us like the:
1. Medical racial bias (https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/patient-care-articles/pritzker-medical-student-research-on-race-bias)
2. Racial profiling (https://news.stanford.edu/2016/06/28/stanford-researchers-develop-new-statistical-test-shows-racial-profiling-police-traffic-stops/)
3. Our prison system (https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/3/7/14834454/exoneration-innocence-prison-racism),
4. The continuing after effects of the war on drugs on minority communities (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/249720341_Social_Consequences_of_the_War_on_Drugs_the_Legacy_of_Failed_Policy)
5. Red-lining (http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-modern-day-redlining-20180215-story.html)
6. Our educational system (https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2015/01/28/us-education-still-separate-and-unequal)
7. Job Discrimination (https://csgjusticecenter.org/reentry/posts/researchers-examine-effects-of-a-criminal-record-on-prospects-for-employment/ AND https://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/06/27/white-high-school-drop-outs-are-as-likely-to-land-jobs-as-black-college-students/#476821cb7b8f)
These are the real issues that minorities continue to face. I didn't pick cotton, but the racist structure built from that racism is still alive and needs to be dissembled. I don't care about Timmy who said Nigger. I'm upset about institutional /systems/.
IIN to think that people with white guilt are cowards
