as a white person i apologize

As a black person, I say that you don’t need to apologize.

You should not be held accountable for what your ancestors did. They did bad things to people, but you didn’t. You also shouldn’t feel as though you aren’t allowed to have problems. Just because society leans toward favouring white people, doesn’t mean your life is perfect and stress free.

You don’t need to feel bad for being born the race you are. No one should.

the fact of the matter is that whites benefit from the genocides and other crimes their ancestors have committed and by trying to absolve them of any guilt is counter productive. saying that they should not feel bad about what their ancestors have done contributes to the erasure of these events that again have caused minorities to be oppressed to this day. whites as a whole need to be aware and feel some sort of guilt in order for all of us to progress forward. and POC are constantly degraded and murdered for the race they were born as BECAUSE of white supremacy, which is something whites created and perpetuate to this day and not just “the older generation” does this.

so yeah they should be apologizing and should feel bad lmao.
