[Image description: A photoset of a white vlogger in front of a bookshelf filled with DVDs, with the captions:Â "How is it my responsibility, or even my place, to apologize for the actions of my ancestors? Because they did it in my name. They did it for the prosperity of their descendants. But I donât want any benefits conferred through slavery. I know itâs impossible for me to shed every single advantage that my ancestry affords me, but the least I could do is examine it. Be critical of it, to be as proactive as possible when it comes to the whole ânot being complicit in historical atrocitiesâ thing. As a person of considerable privilege, I consider it my responsibility because my privilege will try to make me complicit by default.â]
