None of my ancestors owned slave and some were involved with the abolition movement.
I have no white guilt.

I don’t even think about my whiteness unless it’s brought up. If the subject is white guilt I say my whiteness is a guilty pleasure. :)

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.
