NONE of us here would be alive (or exist/have been born) if not for wars, killings, rapes, genocides, conquests, migrations...it's a fact of human existence.

So in a sense we're all guilty (or not guilty, since we didn't have any control over it), and nobody should feel guiltier than others just because of their ancestry. That's my point.

What do you think?

I think the far-right is going to be really ticked off if they can't talk about Obama's ancestry.

I don't feel at all guilty for what someone else may or may not have done in the past, and I certainly don't think I or anyone else should have to pay for things that were done by people generations ago. Should I feel guilty for what happened to the monks at Lindisfarne? No? Then I'm certainly not going to feel guilty about things that happened in this country before my ancestors even got here.

Ancestor guilt is one of the dumbest and most agenda driven aspects in our society. It is used to weaken cultures and societies. It helped destroy the USA and now has done the same to Western Europe. In Germany, the constant Nazi programs on television is sickening. Every time I raise the question to Germans, their response is "What can we do?". Now the nation is being over-flooded with outsiders, and any questioning of this policy is met with cries of NAZIS!

But, notice only White nations are being subjected to this filth. Who controls Western media. . . . .

You are crazy

You cannot choose your parents or your genetics. If you are "guilty" about this, you can presume the guilt for the extinction of the dinosaurs, the fall of the Roman Empire, and the Bubonic Plague.

Liberalism is all about feeling "guilty" for situations out of the control of the individual. In this way, they are able to villianize the individual and promote the supremacy of the state and the fallacy of the individual.

WAKE UP

I have German ancestors and never once have I felt guilty about Hitler. Nor have I ever felt guilty about slavery. Nobody in my family practiced slavery, but even if they had, I wouldn't feel one lick of guilt about it.

My dead ancestors who i have never met have no effect on me, don't really care where they are from or what they did.

You got me there. Lot of people were murdered in WWI and WWII. Can you be a little more specific?
