I recently read an article by Mark Judge in The Daily Caller entitled,
The end of my white guilt. Judge recounts how the theft of his bike on
Good Friday made him let go of white guilt. Judge concludes that black
people use "...the moral authority of past generations for their own
personal gain and self-aggrandizement."
But his grand conclusion is that black pain is no different than white
pain, which is the fall-back position of the "but I'm not a racist"
crowd. We're all alike and it's black people who insist on holding on
to the past.
. . .
"If you are white, and you feel uncomfortable or even attacked by my
consistent reference to white people as including every white person
in this country, you have experienced to some extent what it is like
to be black in this country when every infraction committed by any
black person is attributed to the character of all black people."
