THE SINS OF THE FATHERS…. - Barry Brill.
If one of your ancestors once robbed or unfairly oppressed one of my ancestors, perhaps a hundred years ago, do you have an inherited moral duty to compensate me for that historic wrong? And do I have an inherited moral right to be compensated by you?
What if there was blame on both sides? What if I (or you) are descended from both sides?
These are complex and difficult philosophical questions when applied to individuals. The complexities only multiply when they are expanded to heterogeneous groups – families or clans or whole tribes or even entire mixed-blood groups.
Today, these questions are much more than philosophical musings. They demand answers. They lie at the heart of the culture wars that are roiling governments and political parties all around the world.....
