People who share a skin color with me, who came before me, fought and died against the Nazis, but because the Nazis also shared a skin color with me, I share the blame for that as well.

White people are to blame for anything bad any white person ever did, but they don't deserve any credit for anything good any white person ever did.

People of privileged colors are not to blame for anything people of their color did, and they do deserve credit for the good things that their color did.

"Have you heard Mansa Musa was rich? SHUT UP, I don't care that he owned slaves, I just want to take credit for the fact that he was rich."

For the record, I think it's good to criticize the bad things that your country did. Unfortunately, it does seem to be almost necessarily the case that you 'cuck' as you put it. Both of these are products of pathological nationalism, where the state is identified with the people - either you cannot criticize the state's actions, even in the past, because that supposedly reflects negatively on your people, OR you have to 'cuck' for the same reason. Actually, I think rightist Americans get it exactly right - they criticize the state's actions while being intensely patriotic and nationalistic, which is how I think everyone should be. On the other hand, Europeans get it exactly wrong, they have no nationalism or patriotism as a general rule, but they do have the pathological form in spades.
