if a white man from Poland or Finland becomes an American citizen, should this man start feeling guilt that his Polish (or Finnish) ancestors somehow participated in the oppression of black slaves? or segregation?
If it wasn't him that did anything wrong, then I don't see why he should feel guilty. He can feel really bad that it happened, but feeling guilty is different.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
