White people shouldn't feel guilty but minorities are owed. For centuries they were kept down under a white majority, as slaves or they were driven off their land or just outright shot. Even after the Civil War, blacks still suffered heavily from racism and then the Jim Crow laws legislated racism. Native Americans have had their land titles stripped away and suffered from genocide, which many people to this day refuse to acknowledge. And to claim that racism is dead today would be wilful blindness.
