No one is guilty of things they didn’t do
- dangus 3y agoIt’s not literal guilt like in a criminal trial, it’s a collective responsibility. “White guilt is a belief that white people bear a collective responsibility for the harm which has resulted from historical or current racist treatment of people belonging to other racial groups” (Wikipedia) Here’s an analogy: if I see litter on the ground in my neighborhood, I’m not guilty of littering. But if I willfully ignore it and downplay it, rather than putting in extra effort to pick it up, my neighborhood will still have litter.
