Definitely. For whatever we inherit, I think it&#x27;s important to inherit all of it. To see where we are going, we have to be willing to see where we have been.<p>That isn&#x27;t to advocate for guilt, which I don&#x27;t personally feel, so much as responsibility. Whether or not I feel guilty for what my ancestors did, I am certainly responsible using wisely what power I have. And that power definitely depends on their actions.<p>E.g., I&#x27;m in tech because my dad was. And he became a programmer because his dad was high up at a company that got an early IBM machine. But at that time and place, those were positions reserved for white men from families who could afford enough education. Past racism and classism definitely benefited me. Do I feel guilt? Not really, because I didn&#x27;t do that myself. But I do feel an obligation to use my inheritance for more than just my own desires.
