Actually, it isn’t my job to care on the terms many folks seem to offer.
The slaves and freedmen are all dead and their claims died with them.
The slave owners are all dead and whatever guilt they may have had was interred with their bones.
Suffering is always and only personal, it is not communicable.
Likewise responsibility is not communicable.
I do NOT care about the suffering of entities, mere abstractions of persons.
I could go on given specifics to respond to but in a nutshell it is this: I’m just not interested in your drama, I just don’t owe you a thing. To the extent I find any interest it is to oppose such claims.
If you’re a SJW I’m at the point that whatever you want I’ll do the opposite. You want to take down a statue? I’ll suggest putting two more up. You want to rename something? Revert the names of two things renamed.
It’s good when SJWs are offended. I sometimes think they can’t be properly happy unless they think they’ve got reason to be miserable at some level so it’s a service to offend one.
Bravo! Post of the thread.
Very well said.
