I knew you'd be satisfied.

The slaveholders themselves are all gone now. Most of their ancestors work for a living and are self-sufficient. It's not right that they be asked to carry the stain of indolence that belongs only to their ancestors.

Tau Food: “Most of their ancestors work...”

It never ceases to astonish me how many people can’t keep straight in their minds the distinction between ancestors and descendants.
You even hear it from wise - guy commentators on TV.
And it’s just as annoying as people who can’t keep straight the difference between millions and billions.

But I’m hoping a tiny embarrassment this time could help you the next time, right?
