Guilt...

I wish to repeat something from my February 6th postcard:

"We, or I should say, I have no guilt for what happened from the 1400's on. That is a common refrain for those who do not want to take responsibility for the damage done by our ancestors. It is true. It wasn't me. But, knowing the injustice that was done and continues to be done, often in my name, makes me a party to the injustice. I am a citizen of the United States and I have benefited from injustice toward the First Peoples. I must work to correct the wrong or I am guilty."

This applies to all disenfranchised populations throughout our history. From the First Peoples of this land, the people we imported to be our slaves, and the people whose religion we unfairly target today, if we do not stand up to demand justice for all, we are guilty!
