13. The Penitent.

“I am so sorry for the way whites have treated your people.”
Or “I am sorry for the terrible things that white man just
said to you.”

REALITY CHECK + CONSEQUENCE:
While there is probably no harm in the “sorry,” if it is not attached to some action taken against racism, it is most often just another expression of white guilt. Being an ally to people of color is not limited to an apology for other white people’s behavior, it must include anti-racist action.
