Sure, percentage would work. The data would have to be processed somewhat to remove troll accounts and spam. The definition of "white person" would be important.
I imagine we would spar often the definition of "white guilt" as well. For example: a middle-aged white suburbian woman making a post about the wonderful time she had marching with "Black Lives Matter". That's absolutely a marker of "white guilt" in my book, but you might label it with something like "galloping toward social progress, totally unrelated to white guilt."
At least we located a concrete disagreement.
Yeah, I would absolutely not consider a white person who opposes bad policing or racism in the CJ system to be acting out of "white guilt." But that aside, it would be interesting to look at.
By the way, your tendency to edit your posts after the fact can be very annoying. I suggest that you at least add "EDIT:" before new paragraphs.
Not gonna change there. I'd do a lot more editing if I thought a lot of people were reading archives. I do add the "Ed:" tag when I think enough time has passed that people have probably read the original already.
