ONE OF MY DIRECT FAMILY LINES, IF I GO BACK FROM MY FATHER TO HIS FATHER (WHICH WOULD BE MY GRANDFATHER SON) AND ON AND ON A FEW TIMES I GET TO A DUDE WHO HAD ABOUT 150 SLAVES.

ANOTHER DUDE WAS SOME KIND OF FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE. I THINK HE MURDERED SOMEONE BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER FOR SURE. WHATEVER IT WAS IT WAS REALLY SERIOUS SON.

I'm not agreeing with what was done but I do defend their rights to do it.

I don't think the holocaust is bad because millions of jews were killed, I think it was bad because millions of people were killed. Their race/religion does not make it any more unjust.

Doesn't anybody watch south park? This was covered when Cartman was being chased by the FBI for committing a hate crime against Token by punching him.

"so I have no ties to any slaveholders"

what's wrong with having ties to slaveholders. A few of my ancestors owned slaves 200 years ago, and there's a good probability that the ancestors of the slaves owned some of my relatives 2000 years ago. Neither one of these slave-owning incidents involve me directly.

^ EXACTLY.

I DON'T HOLD A GRUDGE AGAINST ANYONE WHO HAS A VIKING ANCESTOR THAT HAD EUROPEAN SLAVES WHO WERE TAKEN FROM THE REGION MY FAMILY CAME FROM.

I have ties to slaveholders. My ancestors (scots) were enslaved by the english.

Is a bit different than...

"Family background has a similarly powerful impact on children's educational outcomes in western European countries as it does in the US, Ludger Woessmann, of the University of Munich, will tell the Royal Economic Society's annual conference. The performance difference between children of parents in the lowest and highest educational categories is equivalent to at least a whole grade in many countries."

Oppression has multigenerational effects.

My hunch is the effects last for at least 3 generations on average (just like accumulated family wealth).

We are on the downside of the second generation now since civil rights era.
