I don’t read that as a cause for guilt as a white person. I wasn’t there and I wouldn’t currently support that kind of endeavour. I’d almost certainly speak up against it, and I don’t hesitate to speak up about injustices that are still occurring.
I read it as important history to take into account moving forward. There’s no need for guilt over a past you didn’t participate in. There is however a benefit from considering the past and how it affects the present, and an opportunity to be better for it. At no point does anyone need to feel guilty, though.
