Is it wrong to be white? I feel like I'm expected to feel remorse for being white?

socially acceptable anti-black persecution in the U.S.; BLACKS are the ones that were labeled this term while being lynched, stoned, hosed down, sprayed with teargas, sicked with dogs, getting burnt alive, being denied all their rights, etc.; BLACKS are the ones that many whites STILL direct the word at degradingly wherever they can get away with it, as proven by the Internet (countless whites have literally infested the word all over the Internet in degrading ways against blacks). This is at a time where much of the black race is impoverished due to legalized racial discrimination just a few decades ago. Given all that, LET THE BLACK RACE DO WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT WITH THIS WORD AMONGST EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S USED SOCIABLY. Whites need to worry less about it's SOCIABLE use between blacks and more about the countless whites STILL using the word DEGRADINGLY against blacks wherever they can get away with it. The white race wanting a say on the word's use is bad enough, let alone making criticisms on how another race uses it and between each other. The word wouldn't even exist if it weren't for whites and the era of socially acceptable anti-black persecution (slavery era 1500s to 1865 / legalized racial discrimination 1865 through the 1970s). In addition, it's shocking how whenever the subject of the n-word comes up, the comments from most whites are limited to complaints about certain blacks sociably using the word amongst each other; never anything on how it wouldn't even exist if it weren't for whites; never anything on how it was both common and socially acceptable for whites to disparage blacks to their faces with this term throughout the era of socially acceptable anti-black persecution; never anything on how slews of whites still degrade the black race with this term wherever they can get away with it. The predominant reaction from the white community is just whimpering about blacks sociably using the word amongst each other. It's important to note that no reparations have been made in return for legalized anti-black discrimination which is why much of today's black community is impoverished yet; despite that and continued degrading use of this term from whites against blacks, the white community is protesting to double standards regarding the sociable use of this term between blacks while they can't openly label blacks by this word anymore.
