When white people in the south blame white people in the north for the KKK and slavery because their racist past makes them feel guilt. Then they turn around and say how horrible Abraham Lincoln is for starting the War of Northern Aggression and hang a Confederate flag on their porch
“I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of white guilt.” - Bachmann explaining why all the northern states voted for Obama because they feel bad for starting the KKK and slavery and opposed civil rights
When a white person panders to a black person just because they're black and they think somehow they hurt them in some way even though they have literally never interacted with them in their entire life. You might see stories on the news of white families taking in black children or white families inviting a black guy that's not even related to them for thanksgiving. It's white guilt because it pretty much never happens with any other race and only white people do it.
Becky: Hey yo go to the homeless shelter and pick out 15 pour souls and invite them to our Thanksgiving dinner
John: Ok
1 hour later
John: Ok I got 15 guys (shows selfie with each one)
Becky: Ok... wait why are they all black?
John: um
white guilt
a term only used by white racists, applied towards other white people who challenge their worldview by suggesting that racism still exists and/or is bad for some reason.
Essentially a sanitized version of "nigger lover".
"You don't think it's funny when I call it James Earl Ray day? Feeling a little white guilt, are you?"
Hi, I'm Jamima, I'm a white saviour who gets offended on behalf of another race and I want to cancel culture on behalf of the black people. My ideologies stem from white guilt.
