I will take responsibility for my own actions, but I feel no need to take on the guilt of my bloodline or the culture I was born to. I view whatever wealth or privilege you may think I acquired through the sins of the past as mere luck of the draw. My realm of moral responsibility is limited to my conduct in the present and future. I don’t believe in inherited guilt.
