Even though I came from a working class family from the West, I still have a fuck of white privilege. Having to hear "fuck white ppl" like 2x a year barely comes close to what non-white people have faced.

TBH this sounds almost like internalized racism

DID COLONIALISM AND GENOCIDE NOT FUCKING HAPPEN?!?!?

Also this looks condescending

Honestly, how would you like it phrased??? Oh please sir, care more about Palestine than your ego.

Same as if a white person would shout f*ck jews/muslims/whites: with an utter disrespect and disgust. If you allow them to be in that position, it's still a result of colonialism and supremacy, but in a more profound form.

I don't recall Jewish or Muslims committing pogroms and wars against us. What a weird response. This isn't going well for you.

It is happening right now, but somehow we focus on past events and some abstract guilt

If it's happening right now it's not a past event it's an ongoing event still in progress.

some abstract guilt

Super cool of you to reframe current and historical oppression as "some abstract guilt". I'm making a real effort to answer your question, but it's like you're making a bad faith effort to not engage with it but rather reframe everything to reaffirm your old beliefs.
