Answer 3

" White Guilt " is a sense of  an absurd unjust shame or guilt that some people unfairly maintain they whites should feel about the fact that some white ancestors ( NOT present day whites )  may have maintained some black ancestors ( NOT present day blacks ) as slaves 250 years ago.

Some white  people who apparently feel some sense of guilt because of what other whites did 250 years ago feel the need to compensate for this by being predjudiced in favor of a black person.....hence we have Affirmative Action & white guilt votes for Obama.

I refuse to feel guilty for something somebody else did. Should blacks feel black guilt because FBI Statistics show a disproportionate % of crime is commited by blacks in America today ?

Someone needs to address present day racism against whites which exists in Affirmative Action where blacks are always given priority over whites.
