Is cross generational guilt relevant?

Question

Are we permenantly marred with the crimes of our ancestors? What if they did something great, are we then better ourselves? Should caucasians be held guilty for slavery and Jim Crow? Are Americans and Australians guilty for the subjugation of the indiginous peoples? Are the French permenantly indebted to Americans or the Germans indebted to the Jews? If so when does it stop, after all you don't hear the Greeks complaining about the Roman conquest.

Answer 1

When you use nations to place guilt of a crime usually that nation is Guilty. Germany kill 6 million Jews, fact Germany did. Just because it's over do not change the coarse of history they are still guilty of killing 6 million Jews and always will be.

The great thing about history is that you can not change what happen, you can cover it up, forget about it, try and rewrite it. But history can not be change.

If I rape a woman I will always be guilty of it, of coarse if/when I have kids they want be, but I always will.

When you say caucasians you are referring to white people. That's the problem your referring to whites. Their is no such thing as White or Black people dealing with mankind on the basis of skin color is of the devil. Once upon a time people divided mankind on the basis of skin color in order for deception. Mainly to justify slavery to people they call "******" thus "blacks".

So over time those who were the oppressor did everythig in the name of the "white race" so the term "Lynching, oppression, hate, racism" is seen as things associated with "white people" because they spent 400 years to associate those evil things with the term "white". When a "black" person family memebr was killed he wouldn't say it was by a Britian or French guy or better yet a American. He would only know he was "white".

So some people will asociate slavery with white people rather than America because they've taught people to deal with mankind on the basis of skin color. So saying America is guilty of owning "Black slaves" is a fact. America use oppression of Jim Crow is a fact and they are guilty of it because they did it. Rather it happen 5 years ago or 10,000 they will always be guilty of that crime.

Remember that any nation who committs a crime or a deed will always be guilty of it. As I said black and white is the doctrine of the devil and does not exist. So saying white are responisble for slavery is misleading, because their is no such thing as white people. If you said America put some Nigerians into slavery and those Americans happen to have light skin tone and those Nigerian happen to have darker skin tone would be correct.

I see it like this...

You shouldn't be guilty for your grandfathers crimes - but you should be well aware of what they were
