Joe Biden made an emotional speech in Tulsa, OK decrying a horrific massacre the that took place 100 year ago, over 20 years before the 78 year-old Biden was born. Steve Sailer calls this antiquarian white guilt see, for example:
Herewith some more antiquarianism: One hundred years ago the USA was engulfed in a seven-year “race war.” It was a series of racial conflicts between blacks and whites. The riots began in 1917 when whites responded to a black-on-white murder in East St. Louis, Missouri. Scores of blacks were killed (some say as many as 200), and an estimated 6,000 blacks were displaced; forced out of their homes and out of the city.

In this skit, white and black anchors doing the Midday News engage in competitive Noticing what race local criminals are. (This is started by the black anchors, of course.) The white people start, for comic effect, to display consciousness of race, exulting when something embarrassing to blacks comes up. The blacks win in the end because the sketch writer doesn t want to get Cancelled.

One of the biggest disadvantages the American Right has in the political battle is it needs to constantly apologize for its own extremists, while leftists openly defend theirs.

Imagine that America had no system of post-secondary education, and you were a member of a task force assigned to create one from scratch. One of your colleagues submits this proposal:
First, we will set up a single goal to represent educational success, which will take four years to achieve no matter what is being taught. We will attach an economic reward to it that seldom has anything to do with what has been learned. We will urge large numbers of people who do not possess adequate ability to try to achieve the goal, wait until they have spent a lot of time and money, and then deny it to them. We will stigmatize everyone who doesn t meet the goal. We will call the goal a BA.
