[QUOTE="Holy Athanasius, post: 77036724, member: 447017"] Hello. As by the holy decree and authoritative teaching of the Church from sacred scripture(Ezekiel 18:20), I am of the mind that you are only responsible for your own actions due to free will, and that you are not responsible for the actions of your fathers or forefathers. You are not a racist(I hope), and you are not a proponent of slavery. So how could you be guilty of this? However - is it also not true that white people have generationally attained more wealth due to the lot of their parents for the past generations? Yes it is true. If you are black, it is far more likely you are born into a poorer neighborhood, it is also more likely that you shall experience racism. If you are white, it is far more likely that you are born into a wealthier, or at the very least a normal neighborhood and financial situation. This is what liberals call white privilege(I don't use this term as I am not a liberal), and they are right that this situation is the truth of the world. Does this mean you should feel guilty for who you are, and where you grew up and become a self-hating white person as liberal young people at college campuses do? No I do not think so, there is nothing to be either guilty or proud of since you did not choose where you were born. You only can speak for yourself as an individual person. Should we be aware that black people are still born into a circumstance that is more difficult than others due to the consequence of their generational inheritance of poverty? Yes we should be aware of this and oppose it by virtue of charity. How we solve this issue may be up for debate, but we should wish for them no longer to be so affected by the consequences of oppression which affects them both financially and psychologically even today.
