> Have you considered why Amy Cooper called the police on a black man for making the heinous crime of asking her to leash her dog?
It seems reasonable to say that Amy Cooper was being bigoted, but I'm not sure how that relates to the OP's saying that everyone who happens to self-identify as white should be doing penance for somehow "benefiting" from a grossly unfair system.
Why are you reframing what I believe: "making an effort to listen to and accept the concerns of others as legitimate" as penance? Is it penance to listen to black Americans? I certainly don't think so. If anything, it's educational.
