1. Black Power Movement evoked White Guilt.
The civil right movement, especially the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, and the black power movement, confronted the white with a knowledge of ill-gotten advantage, which evoked White Guilt.
2. The white became self-occupied & escapism.
In the late 1960s, almost any black could charge the white with White Guilt.
Suffering from the fear of guilt,
the white became self-preoccupied, trying to reestablish good feeling of themselves. This was the fearful underside of guilt that pressured whites towards selfishness and escapism.
3. The white tended to seek quick and a look of redemption. Not true redemption.
Such kind of not true redemption is the result of the unacknowledged white need for redemption. But with the fear for their own decency and innocent, the white tended to redeem themselves by offering more than fairness, forms of reparation and compensation, to the black for the past injustice.
4. They bent social policies towards racial entitlements and preferences at the cost of racial development, which deepened racial segregation and weakened White Guilt.
5. Also brought another problem:the invisibility of black as a people.
In addition to the special entitlements, the look of redemption caused by the fear of guilt also brought the continuation of the most profound problem in American society, the invisibility of black as a people. For whites, they only see their own need for quick redemption and therefore blacks became a means for the redemption. Their need for quick redemption made blacks a special species whose needs are different and for whom normal standards and values do not automatically apply, which conveyed the same massage as racism.
