‘Guilty white liberals’ are viewed with suspicion because their empathy is perceived as being something more akin to pity, and their efforts are viewed as patronizing in some situations. ‘Guilty white liberals’ are the ones who help organize protests against instances of institutionalized racism or other crimes, but then take on the role as spokespeople for the ‘poor, helpless oppressed people,’ making the people they’re advocating feel powerless and resentful. In addition, because they see themselves as the good guys, it’s hard to tell the ‘guilty white liberals’ to back off a little and let someone else speak. I don’t know if ‘guilty white liberals’ actually exist, but some people are viewed as such and thus fulfill this role, to the chagrin of others.
