Yes. Behavioral pattens stay the same regardless of labels. Who would have thunk in the 60s that boomer's kids and grandkids (and some boomers themselves) would turn into the very religous fundies they pilloried at that time? If they could only see themselves objectively. Self-righteousness is an eternal element of the psyche, apparently.

The reason I follow what is happening in therapy is because I am an adult survivor. And I am super worried about vulnerable people entering therapy only to be white-shamed. Jesus. I mean these people are already f'd up and have low self-esteem and hate themselves because they have been shamed to hell and back and now you are going to tell them they carry the original sin of whiteness as well - one that has NO redemption? It won't end well. Some of these therapists are going to drive people to suicide. And it's so avoidable. Sigh...
