I love my White skin and I love my race. I have no guilt and I offer no apologies. I'm 100% pro-White. There’s nothing wrong with white people loving and supporting our own race

I don't know if the book is good or not but about the "original sin" comment, a lot of white liberals can be really bad and misguided in terms of how they discuss race (from the 12 mins of this I watched that seems to be the case for this author) but all people are talking about with implicit bias is that because racism and racist messages exist in society (same with like every type of discrimination) that people should be willing to think about how they perceive others. Obviously second-guessing yourself every time you might say anything to a member of another race is bad and no one should be advocating for that. It's really just about introspection, not promoting white guilt, because everyone has implicit biases (it's easier for people to empathize with members of their same race, gender, orientation, etc. regardless of their own for example), but like I said a lot of white liberals have guilt and make that pretty clear by ironically being quite racist themselves. I'd also like to point out the difference between whiteness and white people. White people like myself obviously exist, but the definition of "white person" is something that has drastically changed over time based on societal standards of exclusion. E.g. Irish people were not always white, but they are now. But that's the thing - Irish people exist much more concretely. Focusing on the fact that you're white as opposed to your actual heritage or nationality is something a lot of people take issue with for that reason. It isn't strange to have Irish pride, but if you're proud of being white, a lot of people will question it since (aside from pretty obvious historical reasons, especially in the US) the idea of white people is more based on what they aren't versus what they are. More simply, white people have no distinct culture because they're millions of different types of person who all look at least somewhat similar. The same doesn't apply to black people, not because they're special, but because black cultures where deliberately ignored during colonization and the slave trade, where those in charge (yes, including the black people on top) didn't care about preserving individual cultural identities and simply wanted to use the slaves/peoples as objects. It didn't matter if you were Nigerian or Ugandan or anything else. If you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, and if your skin was dark enough, you would be shipped off to the US as a slave. Thus emerged black culture - something created due to the shared adversity and cultural death forced onto them by racism. Hopefully that was easy to follow. I don't want to come off as preachy and you seem interested in learning despite the other comment on this video being an example of what I was just talking about.
