NYT: How Can I Cure My White Guilt

Dear Sugars,
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?
Another part of it is that I’m currently immersed in the whitest environment I’ve ever been in. My family has lived in the same apartment in East Harlem for four generations. Every school I attended, elementary through high school, was minority white, but I’m now attending an elite private college that is 75 percent white. I know who I am, but I realize how people perceive me and this perception feels unfair.
I don’t talk about my feelings because it’s hard to justify doing so while people of color are dying due to systemic racism and making this conversation about me would be again centering whiteness. Yet bottling it up makes me feel an existential anger that I have a hard time channeling since I don’t know my place. Instead of harnessing my privilege for greater good, I’m curled up in a ball of shame. How can I be more than my heritage?

This has to be a trolling of the NYT!

Even if they are trolling, the self-loathing cucks who work and read there will slowly nod their heads in understanding.

Can we hurry up and get past this cuckoldary phase by these northeast liberals? This is not a good look.

That's satire, right?
Holy shite, just read the answers. These people are serious. The only time I feel shame for being white is when I read shite like this written by white people.

Hope that is satire.
If not, whoever wrote that needs to eat a bullet. Unless it’s a young hottie. I’ll make her feel better for about 30 seconds. Then she can continue.
But seriously. Who is that self loathing???

There's one quick solution to that:
Cremation.

Suicide is never the answer to any problem.
Except if you suffer from white guilt. Make room for the POC’s you selfish SOB.
