I just don't think that you and I, as white women, should really be commenting on whether people should be called African American or Black. Not that I have a huge amount of guilt about the past (because I don't, really), I just don't think it's my place as someone who is not a member of the culture or race to slap a label on it.

And I don't think it's your place, either.

No one should feel guilty about the past. Just be aware of it.
