White guit is intertwined with white pride.

White people who take pride in what their ancestors did are misplacing that pride, generally because they haven't accomplished anything themselves.

In turn, if you didn't personally cause or aid in the injustice, you shouldn't need to feel guilty. You are not your ancestors, race or melanin.

There are other components. For example I feel guilty not about my ancestors’ actions but for the unfair advantage I have in society by not being racialized.
