Face it, we have a legacy to live down.

This is a bizarre belief. I can not comprehend how you can adopt
it, let alone try to encourage others to perpetuate your misplaced
guilt. Nor, as above, can I work out how thinking or behaving in
this way moves us all towards anything like an optimal state.

its like a nationwide case of post traumatic stress syndrome over ignoble
incidents in our nation's history
the gift that keeps on giving
can't move an inch lest the guilt ballast shifts and we topple over

ultra extremist radical leftist fanatic politically correct "progressive"
liberalism

the people who indulge in this mindset can often be seen patronizing or talking down or
"thinking for" the blacks
they claim to support

Too many centuries of discrimination have gone by for us to be
able to just wave a magic wand and say "okay, now it's all over".

it's been 141 years since the end of slavery and 40 years since the end of
segregation
and we're to continue wallowing in a burden of guilt and shame?
