> My point is that we shouldn’t hold people responsible for actions they didn’t take

No one is holding people responsible for actions they didn't take. YOu're just mis-perceiving assistance given to historically oppressed people as a personal slight against yourself.

Helping a black person is not punishing a white person, and you're showing your own ass when you suggest it is.

Talk of "historical oppression" is just a polemic to distract from this racist favoritism.
