Today we discuss White Guilt and the role it is playing in Critical Race Theory and why said theory is being argued about so frequently specifically in White America. The theory seems to have 2 participants both being represented by white guilt and self-preservation. We discuss is white guilt necessary and why it is both helpful and harmful but ultimately leading to no results in the equality of African Americans as well as other races throughout the United States. What is Equality? What is White Guilt! Is Critical Race Theory here for self-preservation or attacked for self-preservation? White guilt[1][2][3] is the individual or collective guilt which is felt by some white people for the harm which has resulted from the racist treatment of ethnic minorities such as African Americans and indigenous peoples by other white people, most specifically in the context of the Atlantic slave trade, European colonialism, genocide of indigenous peoples, the Holocaust and the legacy of these eras. In certain regions of the Western world, it can be called white settler guilt,[4] white colonial guilt,[5] and other variations, which refer to the guilt more pointedly in relation to European settlement and colonization, such as in Australia and New Zealand. The concept of white guilt has examples both historically and currently in the United States and to a lesser extent in Canada, South Africa, France and the United Kingdom.[6] White guilt has been described by psychologists such as Lisa B. Spanierman and Mary J. Heppner as one of the psychosocial costs of racism for white individuals along with empathy (sadness and anger) for victims of racism and fear of non-white people.[7] critical race theory (CRT), intellectual movement, and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of color. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans.
