Well yeah, not for the mere fact of being classified as white. But once informed, shame for what one does, and for what one doesn’t do, does seem merited. There are ways to be a white ally of those who continue to suffer the brunt of white supremacy.

It reminded me of times I knew I had stepped in dog poo. It smelled bad, and my boots got slippery. But I just had to lift it up and look. As if there was any doubt - YES I have stepped in dog poo. At least I can only hope it was left there by a dog.
