White Guilt Has as Become a Mental-Health Problem
New York Post ^ | Jan. 25, 2026 | Jonathan Alpert

Posted on 01/27/2026 11:52:26 AM PST by nickcarraway

A patient paused mid-thought in my Manhattan office the other day and apologized: “I know I’m saying this as a white guy.” The comment felt out of place, so I asked him what he meant.

When his explanation still didn’t fit, I asked what being a white guy had to do with the situation at all.

He admitted it had nothing to do with it. He was describing a routine scheduling issue at work. There was no racial dimension and no colleague’s identity involved.

I’d say it’s ALREADY a mental health problem.

Liberalism is a mental illness.

If someone "came at" me like that, I'd "lean into" his craziness and reply knowingly, "I know what you mean! As an Episcopalian, I am also frequently confounded by these work scheduling issues!"

And then I'd wait for it to dawn on him just how ridiculous his initial statement had been.

Regards,

It’s not liberalism, it’s leftism.

Guilty for what? Slavery? In Africa and Asia, there are more slaves today than at any point in world history. And it isn’t white people who are doing it.

Every black slave brought to America before it was abolished was already enslaved by blacks and Arabs. It was them who ran the slave trade, not white people.

And wait to see what happens when it's cured.

Yes I know. There are two forms of liberalism: positive and negative. “Limited government” is what they call negative liberty. What they call positive liberty is actually big government. Those are the crazy people.

Leftists are no longer liberal in any meaningful sense of the word.

Not all whites. This is a problem with aspirational whites who embrace wokeness as a stepping stone to social advancement. Their get their understanding of social advancement from popular celebrities.

Yep, we’re guilting ourselves into extinction.

At this rate we’re heading toward Neanderthal status.

Every other identifiable group defends and promotes their interests. We’re the only ones shaming ourselves, even though we’ve contributed 90% of what we call civilization.

Anyone who uses the phrase "check your white privilege" isn't playing with a full deck.

If they're so guilt-ridden, why don't they sign over all of their possessions to a poor non-white family? That especially applies to the idiots who preface every public statement by acknowledging how they're "occupying" land "stolen" from the local Indian tribes. I don't see any of these virtue-signaling types in any hurry to give any Indians their land back by signing over the deed to their property to the nearest reservation.

That’s true. It’s just another example of “leftists” giving themselves flattering titles that describe the exact opposite of what they really are.

It’s astounding how they’ve convinced seemingly half the white population to hate themselves and their heritage, especially the women.

The US should be a place for people from all over the world to improve their lives, provided they follow the rules, speak English and assimilate. But by and large that isn’t happening in my opinion, at least not to the extent it needs to be.

The end result will be that whites will be a 2nd class minority sooner or later, with stooges like Mamdani ruling over them, until they’re willing to fight back and stop all this.

Not for me it’s not.

I feel no guilt over something I had no control over.
