"Obviously since people's ancestors commited acts of racism, their children have to pay!"

The more nuanced version of that argument goes something like this: You are not responsible for the actions of your ancestors, nor am I for mine. However, you inherited the benefit of opression, whereas I inherited the burdens. Society (not you in particular, but everyone collectively) has an obligation to ensure that this unequal state of affairs does not continue indefinitely, with advantages and disadvantages being passed down through the generations.

Would you agree with that notion?
