> I can accept what happened, from the historical record, while denying that it needs to have massive historical relevance to current events, or that it implies any requirement of action. Apply this logic to me walking up to you on the street and beating you and stealing all your money and two days later saying, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy." Likewise apply this logic to me seizing all the property of your parents when you were an infant and then you as an adult approach me about this and I say, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy." Likewise apply this logic to me seizing all the property of your grandparents when your father was an child and then you as an adult approach me about this and I say, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy." Without worrying about why I might have done those things above when I did them or just how much responsibility I might have for the actions, the various mitigation or explanations, that an injustice occurred and that consideration should be given to righting it seems trivial to acknowledge. Just consideration, it doesn't even cost anything!
