    you should be a little ashamed that you benefit greatly from their actions. Nobody thinks it’s your personal fault, were just trying to get you to see how you have an unfair leg up over your darker skinned counterparts. Nobody wants you to apologize, you yourself didn’t do anything. We just want you to understand that it’s a little fucked up how your life is easier in general just because you’re white, and we want you to try and figure out why that is

      Spare me with the condescension. I don’t feel ashamed for something I have no control of.

      Of course I want the same outcome as you, for people who have been historically discriminated against to have the same opportunities as me.

      It is fucked up that things are easier because I won the genetic lottery, and was born male, and straight (mostly).

      That being said, I have no obligation to make up for the sins of my fathers. However, I do have a moral obligation to fight injustices to the best of my abilities, this would be the case, regardless of the dice roll of life.
