No. Clear enough? I thought we'd established this in the first few replies. It's not necessarily affirming that lie either (though as I've said, I think tying yourself to your enslaved ancestors over any of your other ancestors leans in that direction).

But no, clearly learning as much as you can about your enslaved ancestors doesn't qualify as rejecting anything. And passing it on as if it's some kind of inheritance even less so.

I'm not trying to tell you how to honour anybody. As I've said already, to each their own. But you asked for my opinion, remember? Don't be mad because I gave it to you.
