Uh they didn’t work alone on it, and they left a ton of people out, ripping freedom and progress from their hands without a second thought.

Your ancestors were thieves and oppressors, and took things that didn’t belong to them, which means the resulting better society isn’t yours or theirs to give or take. It’s free for whoever comes and helps grow it.

Honestly I wish we had some mechanism to cast out the entitled and let in the hopeful. People who believe as you do don’t deserve the gift of a progressive society.

I personally think their statement has a high likelihood of being valid, at least in part, and only on a probabilistic basis.

Your response indicates they hit a nerve.
