progression or stay traditional? 16

I am really glad that we took the time to discuss in detail hoe we all felt about Wildman segment in part three. There are a few things that I noticed with her problem on feeling guilty about being a racist because of her race. As we discussed in class the point was brought up that Wildman should not feel guilty because she is not responsible in any part for the past events of white people. I do agree with this perspective because no one should feel guilty for what someone of their race has done that many not have been pleasing within society. I think that instead of feeling guilty, she should acknowledge the wrongs, show some accountability and progress to move forward. If we as people continue to hold on to the past, we will never be able to strive for equality or even find methods to identify and address the white privilege issues. The past is history and the future is unwritten so we must continue to not focus on what was so strongly and consider whats we can do in our futures.
