Oh you poor thing.

Why do some people feel the urge to take on the guilt for what happened before they were born?  It's obvious one needs to learn about and learn from history but to assume guilt for what happened is beyond me.  Furthermore, why do some people feel the need to be something they are not?

With respect to whiteness, I suppose the logical extension of your guilt would be to return to where ever you came from; however, that could open up a whole new set of issues to contend with.
