No it is not.
As I said before it is hard to have a serious discussion with a person who refuses to even address the issue.
What does racial profiling of blacks by police have to do with "shaming whites for their accomplishments?" There have been multiple studies that show discrimination against people applying for jobs or trying to rent apartments just based on the fact their name "sounds" black. There have been proven cases of racial discrimination against African Americans and other minorities by police countries all across the country. And anyone who claims that a white person who is a member of an All-white country would treat black people the same when hiring, firing, or doing business with them is either e rube or a liar.
You can stick your head in the sand and deny reality all you want, but that won't change reality.
I am white. I recognize white privilege, but I am not "shamed" and I don't feel guilty at all. All I do is acknowledge reality.
