I was just disgusted this morning watching Donald Sutherland talking on the Today Show about how "ashamed" he felt to be told he's the luckiest man in the world - because he's a "white man." It was nauseating, as if his "white guilt" would undo any injustice in the world. That kind of attitude is exactly the kind of thing that needs to be stomped out, and even more reason Trump is necessary now.
It's like someone saying to a black woman, "Oh, you poor unfortunate soul - you must be weak and your life must suck because you're a black woman!" It's insulting. Black women can be strong and accomplish whatever they set their mind to. Sure they have different obstacles to work with, but her obstacles won't change if I was to say to her, "F*ck me, and poor you!" We need to lift each other up, together, and focus on the positives instead of focusing on demeaning guilt-ridden bullshit like Sutherland was spewing.
