      Dude, there’s a very good likelihood that I am descended from slave owners several generations back on my mother’s side. Do you think I felt guilty? Do you think I felt responsible? Do you think I felt “harangued”? No. I felt lucky to be alive in a time where I can be a better person than my ancestors. I felt glad to know that I can help raise my kids to be on the right side of history going forward. I felt appreciative that I can do what I can to be a force for good in this world.

        Conservatives don’t want their children being taught that society has progressed. They don’t want them getting the idea that such progress is their inheritance, and that it is their responsibility to bring about further progress.

        Conservatives really don’t like the idea of bearing responsibility to the society they inhabit.
