I'm not sure what anyone would need to "feel about their race" because it's not like everyone of a certain race is one singular entity who all think and feel the same way. Everyone is their own individual with different attributes and ideals regardless of who they are or where they came from. In the context of the question of white people everyone knows and acknowledges the fucked up history that many participated in but it doesn't mean the people who are alive today are the same people who participated in that stuff or had any part in it. If it was treated as such then how is anyone expected to ever be able to move forward if they must be dragged down by the wrongdoing of others before them as soon as they are born.
You can be disgusted at others for what they have done and express remorse at the fact that anyone could do those things while also acknowledging it doesn't mean you're personally responsible for other people's actions just because they're the same race as you, and I think that's an important distinction to make. Otherwise that's sadly how generalizations start when the actions of some people can make everyone seem like that, much like with all the terrorist attacks that have happened in the past few years where you commonly see people generalizing middle eastern people because of the actions of a few.
Nobody should be beholden to other people's sins except for their own. Your race doesn't define you only your actions do.
Edit: I'm editing this comment and rewriting it to better accurately portray what I meant to say at the time, as my previous comment was very poorly worded.
