So if we (white people) did some terrible things.

We shouldn't ever talk about it, just never mention it, not even to say "Hey remember what happened before, what we did to those guys".

Instead, just like slavery we have to just shut our mouths and bear our shame when not one of us or any of our fathers or their fathers had any hand in what was done or the decisions made.

We didn't do these things. People before us did them. We are not doing anyone any good by carrying their sins on our backs.

The burden we are supposed to carry isn't the sin, it's the lesson.
