Why identity politics benefits the right more than the left

I never really got the idea of white guilt. My family weren't in America at any point when slavery was legal. My father's side came over here from Italy in my grandparents' generation, and my mother's side came over from Ireland during the civil war, and were in NY/NJ so they obviously never had slaves. Unless you want to trace it back to Rome, when maybe they did, or back in pre-Christian Ireland.

That doesn't mean I, or anyone else, lack a moral obligation to speak out against modern injustices though. Because we are here now, and bad shit is still happening.
