This country was founded on the belief than one does NOT have to "own" the actions of one's ancestors. This country was founded on the belief that one must only "own" one's own actions; but that one MUST "own" those actions.

And, Mr. Rock, just so you'll know, the abandonment of the idea that everyone is responsible for their own actions is the greatest reason why racial progress in America is “nonsense” (if, indeed, it is).

At the least, the idea that everybody can do SOMETHING to be helpful even if they cannot do EVERYTHING.
