In the past, I’ve wondered a bit about this so-called “white guilt” that has passed for the collective guilt of people who are uncomfortable with their luxurious lives.\u00a0 I think I understand it, but I think its time has passed, and should no longer be credible. I believe that it is a form of narcissism: people crow on how deeply they feel about things they NEVER did. The secret to this type of guilt: in order to feel good about yourself, just feel bad about yourself. At the Galilean Library, I posted the following in a thread on “collective guilt:”<\/p>\n

If them old whiteys screwed up the world, then only dem whiteys can redeem em and themselves.<\/em> Our new Golgotha is Auschwitz, Buckner declares. High priests of guilt have turned Holocaust fetishism into a profitable industry, and everyone is implicated by the actions or inactions of certain individuals 60 years ago. What does this mean?

\nI mean, I echo what Franz Fanon once said: “Don’t I have other things to do on this earth than avenge the blacks of the 17th century… I am not a slave of the slavery that dehumanized my ancestors.”<\/em> I myself don’t have any ancestors that were brought over to America as slaves, so there could be a disconnect, but then again, speaking as an African that’s naturalized American, I don’t see the point of holding a grudge against a collective other than perhaps a cheap sense of self-serving justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
