I am appreciating your term "repentance culture." In my region of the U.S. (twelve miles from the U.S. Capitol building), the epitaph "white guilt" is what is most frequently thrown at us - or at least insinuated. My head will be severed from my neck for this comment, but I feel neither repentant nor guilty for the society that existed over 100 years before I was born. And yes, my ancestors held slaves...

Hi back. I've heard about "white guilt" term too. We also use it there. Translation "culpabilité blanche" * So let's go to the gallows together, as I neither feel guilty for past French actions, although it's necessary to acknowledge history's dark side, every nation has its own, and not only the white populated ones. Unfortunately, PC does not require any guilt for slavery to the Arabs for instance.... And unlike white slavery, the latter is still continuing, as we can see in Lybia or with the Iraq Yazidis women.

Right on!
