I feel so guilty! My ancestors created medicine, technology, art, culture, human rights, govt, etc etc that all the niggers and sandmonkeys get to enjoy for free everyday. They even invade my ancestral homelands to enjoy social safety nets, roads, infrastructure and quiet peaceful cities that they had no hand in building or right to ask for. Yet they take those things that my ancestors built and they still call me privileged.
How Can I Cure My White Guilt?
The thing about privilege is that it can be used for good.
Dear Sugars,
I’m riddled with shame. White shame. This isn’t helpful to me or to anyone, especially people of color. I feel like there is no “me” outside of my white/upper middle class/cisgender identity. I feel like my literal existence hurts people, like I’m always taking up space that should belong to someone else.
I consider myself an ally. I research proper etiquette, read writers of color, vote in a way that will not harm P.O.C. (and other vulnerable people). I engage in conversations about privilege with other white people. I take courses that will further educate me. I donated to Black Lives Matter. Yet I fear that nothing is enough. Part of my fear comes from the fact that privilege is invisible to itself. What if I’m doing or saying insensitive things without realizing it?
