White guilt

White guilt is a severe mental disorder.

White guilt is guilt by Whites for reasons such as supposed mistreatment of non-Whites.

Description

Such supposed mistreatment may include cases of slavery, colonialism, and racism. Many of the claimed examples are misleading and often ignore such actions when done by non-Whites, as discussed in the articles on these topics.

Such views also ignore, for example, that Whites abolished slavery worldwide, created concepts such as human rights and liberal democracy, created most inventions and technologies which benefit all humans (see Human Accomplishment), etc.

White guilt is exploited by non-Whites in numerous ways in order to gain advantages such as affirmative action and "reparations". It may also be a factor causing Whites to vote for non-Whites or otherwise support their own group less than non-Whites do.

White guilt is also exploited in other ways. Already in 1978, an article stated that "Telephone and mail solicitors, trading on "white guilt" and on government pressure to advertise in minority-oriented publications, are inducing thousands of businessmen to buy ads in phony publications, according to investigators for the Postal Service and the Los Angeles district attorney."

Some Whites may demonstrate strong White guilt in order to show and gain a sense of moral superiority over other Whites. See also virtue signalling.

White guilt has been seen as destructive also for non-Whites who put all blame for their problems on Whites and demand that Whites should solve the problems instead of non-Whites taking responsibility and focusing on improving themselves.

On cause of White guilt is that “progressive” school teachers and education professors try to extensively promote White guilt (and various leftist views) in education. See also Cultural Marxism.

High White guilt may be related to Whites having high affective/emotional empathy and high emphatic guilt. See the article on Pathological altruism.

White liberals may try to increase White guilt in order to increase support for liberalism generally and themselves in particular as morally superior to other Whites.

"There are few forces on earth more powerful than white liberal guilt,” Mr. Goldberg writes. “It has no known limits. In the hearts and minds of plain old regular liberals, it’s bad enough. But in the hands of journalists, white liberal guilt becomes a very dangerous force indeed.” Mr. Goldberg asserts that deep down, many of his colleagues suspect they’ve got it wrong about race, but cannot bring themselves to come clean. He explains why: “By hanging on to the old party line for dear life — and conveniently seeing anyone with contrary views as ‘racially insensitive’ Neanderthals if not out-and-out racists — they get to continue to do what too many liberals enjoy doing best: bask in their own moral superiority."
