I don't think that Christianity believes in visiting the sins of the father upon the son. Thus I don't understand how you go from "racism is a sin" to white guilt. But it do be like that.
I don't "go to white guilt" as I don't believe "white" is anything but a broadly successful human family, nor do I believe in any form of collective guilt. Christians should believe what God believes... This vile chicklet is a generational consequence, just so. She's got to be fun at parties.
God is faithful: which likely means trustworthy/reliable, rather than trusting/believing, true; but the conflation between those meanings, is made enough in scripture, that I am pursuaded we are supposed to confuse the directionality: the faithful are trustworthy, and the credible are trusting. So in that sense, God is quite believing, he is the ultimate believer, in fact. He believed in us humans, before there was any evident reason to so believe... That may even touch on why he came at all: to show us that he believed in us, even though no one else, and not even we ourselves, believed (violently-upon-his-body not so).
I getcha, but I'm not using the term theologically, or technically. I'm just talking english with fellow commoners. God Knows*. Agreed.

God doesn't believe anything; He knows.
