When you're born, you should be born with a clean slate (this is where the whites ****ed up in the past in the states), but blaming someone for their parents' /ancestors' deeds is moronic and stems from hate and not logical thinking. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Weak analogy, and a very poorly constructed counterargument that only weakens yours. White ppl are directly the blame for the pictorial view Americans have of Muslims. Those Muslims ain't have **** to do with 9/11. Bush and that whole administration orchestrated that, but that's another topic for another time.
No one is saying you should be held responsible for the actions of your ancestors, but you ARE benefiting from their work. NY Life, Aetna, and Bank of America are all prosperous corporations TODAY because of slavery. Meaning, they wouldn't be where they are today had it not been for Blacks. The White House you see was built by slaves. The Capitol that houses Congress was built by slaves, and rebuilt it when it was burned down in 1812. The entire southern economy is built on slaves. You see where we're going?
