I suspect there are only a few self loathing white people with low self esteem who would even entertain such silliness. Most people with an IQ above room temperature won't be entertaining this nonsense.

I also think that most average everyday black people aren't expecting average everyday white people to be kneeling and asking for forgiveness. I hope at least, I like to think that most people try to be fair minded.

No. I'm not going to apologize for someone else's actions. Kneeling and asking for forgiveness from the black community for the actions of an individual white person assumes you have control over that person's actions. You have to have an extremely high sense of self importance in order to believe you have the power to control the actions of other people.

Well, studies have shown that the only racial demographic with an out-group bias rather than an in-group bias is progressive white people. So you basically just have a group with an out-group bias kissing ass to the group with the strongest in-group bias.

It's basically a scenario where a group of subs finds a group of doms and hilarity ensues.

As far as I'm concerned, if that's how they get their rocks off, let them. Laugh at them for it if you want, but they aren't hurting anyone.

Oh wait, I forgot. Racism only belongs to black people, apparently. Ask yourself, would this fly in America if it was being done to the black community? The media would be having a field day.
