That has been my philosophy since childhood. I’ve asked some white people who feel guilty what they specifically did and I’ve asked some young black ppl who grew up in suburbs why they have a bigger chip on their shoulder than black people of previous generations. Both groups twist themselves into knots with vague nonsense like white supremacy permeating everything or that legacy of slavery

Right. Now the "talk" has to include "don't listen to what your teacher says" if you have the misfortune of having to send your kids to a public school.
"Judge people by their character, not their skin color."
That's all the talk you need . . . or used to need.
Now you need to add, "Don't listen to people who try to make you guilty for things you are not responsible for."
