    The timeline of the comic is also wrong - I’m supposed to feel white guilt over this original sin because a 3x+ great great great ancestor I never met took immoral actions?

      No, you’re not supposed to feel guilty or get emotional about it. You’re supposed to realize you live in a fundamentally racist society, one that is as physically segregated as it was in the 1950s. And you’re supposed to rationally accept that people of different skin colors fundamentally do not have the same opportunities. You’re not supposed to get your panties in a knot about what is otherwise a very straightforward problem of resource allocation.

      Not guilty. No one said you, in particular, had to feel guilty. Maybe upset that friends, family and neighbours are getting shafted.
