[Paul Atreides]

The only way an apology for an offense to be worth anything is for the perp to offer the apology. If I had ancestors who were involved in the slave trade, while I don't approve, I'm not going to wallow in guilt over it. Everyone has ancestors who have done other horrible things.

Whew! Now I can be relieved of guilt over the trace of Dutch in my ancestry. :-)
