White self-hatred.... it's impact on mixed race people and families?

I'll assume the guilt assessment algorithm created by an "impartial" governing body would be fair of course, but I think I'll opt out.
Change this into America as a political entity and we're starting to make sense. (finger punches the digits into the ether) 99.99% of Americans themselves, seems to me, have little to no power over their own country, let alone the rest of the world.
It might also be said that America largely bears responsibility for most of what is good in the world as well, though I remain unconvinced.
I'm not sure about "guilt", I feel no guilt per se for my ancestor's actions directly. "Historical responsibility" definitely.
@O'Dib, I'm inclined to agree. America as a nation is overly convinced of how much good it does. I fail to see it does much at all given it's potential.
That's what representational government does, right? it lets you vote someone into power, whose actions you can't control, which washes your hands of.... Wait, that's not what you mean, is it?
I meant an auction-house democracy may play pretend it represents the will of the majority. On the other hand, the sure march of capitalism benefits the poorer corners of the globe, so objectively considerable good is generated, just not where American voters get much out of it.
Or, to paraphrase another way I've seen it noted: "Privilege and especially white privilege doesn’t mean your life will be free of problems or struggle, just that your skin color is not one of the reasons for those problems or struggles."
Problem being, you have about half the white population buying into the idea that they are penalized because of their skin color. It doesn't matter that whites make up two-thirds of the population or that pretty much every level of government is controlled by people that think like them.
There is some grade-A brainwashing at work in America.
It’s a widely held belief that black people in the US get to go to college for free. White people had to create fantasies in order to pretend to be oppressed.
Sounds like a good method of reparations, shame it ain't happening.
FoxNews would have a fit over it.
Thinking something “should” be a certain way isn’t the same as thinking something “is” a certain way. One is wishful thinking, the other is delusion. In this case, a racist one since it’s about about how it’s unfair to be white.
It was free in the UK, for a while.
Nothing is free. Not never.
It was funded for all students regardless of income/status by local authorities in the UK for a while.
I was in one of the last cohorts that received maintenance grants to cover living expenses, not just tuition fees.
Love, man.... love is free....don't be a Herbert!
As someone who has been on the receiving end of both, I can safely say that you clearly have no idea what those terms mean. Non-whites are just as capable of racism against whites as women are just as capable of being sexist against males.
Nope. Sorry. Im not going to feel guilt for the bad things that strangers have done. There have been evil people of both genders and all races throughout history. It's not a "white male only" thing.
You may not be researching it personally, but there's definitely a going rate
