I'm of mixed feelings. It's one thing to recognize the history or the artistry, but another to celebrate it. There's a shed down the street on my friend's property. A child slave lived in it. She didn't tear it down but it stands in disuse so people can recognize the inhumanity of what we did to a small child.
Not we. Somebody did, but not we.
Truth.

Guilt by association doesn't become any less dumb by being pointed at oneself. Unless you want to bring back ancient blood feuding, MilSpecs, I suggest not assigning for yourself responsibility for your ancestor's actions.

I take no responsibility for what the government of the place I was born happens to do. I had no say in blowing up asians or middle easterners. I certainly can't be responsible for the exploitation of South America, or the Caribbean either. I have never been given a vote on what assholes have chosen to do with my tax dollars.
SJWs are a natural consequence of corporatism.

It's my responsibility to do what I can to mitigate the damage caused by my ancestors. It wasn't my fault and I don't feel at all guilty, but someone has to step up. We only have to look around us to see that if more had stepped up in the past we wouldn't be in the situation we now find ourselves.
