How Can I Cure My White Guilt?

I'm riddled with shame. White shame. This isn’t helpful to me or to anyone, especially people of color. I feel like there is no “me” outside of my white/upper middle class/cisgender identity. I feel like my literal existence hurts people, like I’m always taking up space that should belong to someone else.
I consider myself an ally. I research proper etiquette, read writers of color, vote in a way that will not harm P.O.C. (and other vulnerable people). I engage in conversations about privilege with other white people. I take courses that will further educate me. I donated to Black Lives Matter. Yet I fear that nothing is enough. Part of my fear comes from the fact that privilege is invisible to itself. What if I’m doing or saying insensitive things without realizing it.
Do you feel the same way?

I'm a proud white man and articles like this really makes me hate white people.

Why does anyone feel guilty over their skin color and how they were born?
You can't control it.
God we need a new plague or something... too much free time to worry about dumb shite like this

What possible good can anyone be to anyone else, if you don't even respect yourself?

No shite, black people have been denying theirs for years.

I cure my white guilt by cutting my way to the front of the line at Popeyes.

These effing people piss me off. My great grandfather lost everything in the Great Depression. No one gave him shite because he was white. My grandfather was a hobo on trains to and fro looking for work in the Great Depression. My father studied his arse off and worked his way through school. My mom grew up dirt poor with no dad. No one gave them anything. I worked through school. I have always gotten up and worked as long and as hard as it takes.
You get your arse up in the morning and you go to work. When people talk about privilege, in my mind it is an excuse for laziness. To hell with them.

Why the frick should I feel guilty about being white? Pretty sure it’s not something I control. Also fairly certain I’m not responsible for the actions of any other person regardless of their color. So, no, I don’t feel guilty.

He should let some p.o.c. run a train on him.... maybe he will feel better?

Japanese guilt
Indian guilt
Swedish guilt
It goes on and on and on. So many cultures are so privileged in this country.
How dare this country have so many different types of successful people of privilege.

very nice
and to a lesser extent, this white boy right here joined the army to pay for college, became the first person in his family to graduate college, went on to medical school, yada yada
so to cure my non-existent white guilt, i usually go to Ruth's and get a bone in ribeye and a $20 glass of cab
