If you argue to maintain the status quo, which is still tied to past injustices, then you are complicit & responsible for maintaining current injustices.

And that logic applies in reverse. If you argue to maintain the status quo, which is still tied to past successes, then you are complicit and responsible for maintaining current successes. Do you not see how the same logic is behind the "I built this country" statement?

Have you never heard "all white people are racist," ever? That is a direct indictment of my individual character, because I supposedly uphold a system of oppression. Are you saying that isn't an accusation of direct responsibility?

How is that logic different than "all white people built this country?" because white people supposedly uphold the successful tradition of the past white people who did?
