White Guilt is actually White Narcissism

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

52. I thought the author was going somewhere else at first.

One was that it was unacceptable for me to state, plainly, my observations or questions around race so I kept quiet on topics that confused me. I learned there were certain things I was “allowed” to say, and certain things I wasn’t “allowed” to say

Go into a group space where race is being discussed, and this applies. If you're not saying exactly what is 'approved' in that specific group, and vary even slightly from the group's accepted dogma, you're suddenly one of the 'bad' people. Groupthink or nothing. That is why discussing race relations honestly is so difficult in America. There's no room for 'in between' thoughts, to 'mostly agree' but to feel that certain issues are being overemphasized, or to try to point out that overlapping aspects of intersectional privilege might be more causal for a given issue.
