Edit: It was a critical research failure on my part to say ISIS was part of 9/11. They didn’t. It was Al-Qaeda, as I have learned from many of you in the comments.

Also it was wrong for me to compare 9/11 and slavery. They really can’t be compared because as I’ve learned from the people in the comments, a lot of white people benefit financially and sociologically from slavery, whether they want to or not. Arabs/Muslims/Middle Easterns don’t benefit from 9/11.

I also worded this post very, very poorly. I used the word “blame” when what I really meant to say was “associated with”. I’m trying to ask about why it is okay to associate white people with the “sins of their ancestors” (even though some of us white people have relatives that never owned slaves) but it is a hate crime to do that with literally any other race.
