Bass,
Us American Whites have screwed up. We are trying to do better.
Speak for yourself.
I refuse to accept any blame for the so called plight of blacks. No one in my family ever owned slaves, traded in slaves or lynched a black person.
I do not buy into white guilt.
You and your family benefit from white privilege based on the system whites created years ago.
Specifically, what benefits does my family receive based on the system created years ago?
