Should people can be held accountable for the sins of their forefathers?

Really, why should one group of people have more rights and power than another? Most everyone in multicultural societies these days have 'mongrel' blood. So even though I may have the same great grandfather as another man, I have to pay more tax and get less aid from the government. Really, should I pay for what EVERYONE's ancestors did, or should we just forget it and move on?

as long as you are not prolonging the sins from the past of others you should be free however there are a lot of grudge-full and envious people out there that thrive on that type of garbage

Back in the Old Testament when God "CURSED" a family from generation to generation mainly for disobedience, I would like to think that when Jesus came along, we were all given Grace, erasing or canceling the debts and/or sins of our forefather because Jesus paid the ultimate price when he gave his life as a sacrifice for our sins...Therefore, every man carries his own sins and have his own free-will.....

No one can be held responsible for what his or her ancestors do.
Every one lives his own life. And it does not depend on the character his or her ancestors. But his ancestors can be held responsible if they made him do evils.It mostly depends on parents that what type of environment and education and training they provided for their children.
Their training should be such that their children become able to distinguish what is good and what is bad.

There are some people who do what their ancestors used to do no matter whether it is evil. Such people are in dark.

We should forget what our ancestors used to do and just move on.
But we should not forget them if they used to be good.

Hope you like it.

According to every sane person, of course you can't be held accountable for the actions of your ancestors.

However, the black community sees a get-rich-quick scheme in this by blaming all their bad choices on white people. They think they deserve money from every white person even though the vast majority of white people in this country aren't even descended from slave owners and many of them are NOT the descendants of slaves!

Get over it. Take responsibility for your own actions. Get on with your life's work.
