If you accept - or if you even CONSIDER accepting - collective guilt, you are signing your children’s death warrants.

I am not kidding. Someone who wants to engage you on that premise wants you and your family dead. Prepare accordingly.

Stockholm syndrom is quite common among white basketball players.

None of my ancestors owned slave and some were involved with the abolition movement

OK, but suppose that wasn't true.

Suppose your great-great-grandfather was Simon Legree and your great-grandfather fought agains Reconstruction like Hell.

That still doesn't create any obligation to any person on yourself.

Well, actually the Dolt’s race is the issue because the context of the article is of white privilege and guilt. Otherwise they could have interviewed any one of the 75 percent of black players in the NBA and got the same answer.

I have ancestral connection with Robert the Bruce. That does not make me good with the sword.

I am still trying to figure out how I am responsible for the British, Dutch and Spanish bringing Black slaves to the New World

Me, too. Especially since my ancestors were Jews in Eastern Europe being persecuted by the Russians, the Germans and any number of other groups until the early 1900s, when my grandparents all emigrated to the United States.

How am I responsible for slavery? My ancestors were trying to eek out a living in England, Wales and Italy...they did NOT own slaves, matter of fact I think they were slaves...

Wow that’s a whole lot of white guilt from Mensa candidate Kyle korver. I guess he needs some street cred from the thugs he hangs with.

Then all Muslims are guilty of both modern Islamic terrorism AND the Muslim conquests and oppression of a third of the world.

It’s very unAmerican and immoral to blame someone for acts not personally committed. And he’s not saying just ancestors but forefathers too.

Maybe Marty McFly and Doc Brown are responsible.

Oh I see...white guilt....the statement stays the same. If the final buyer is a racist then the original seller is also a racist...nothing changes other than his own self loathing!!!
