I basically agree with the conclusion, but not with the whole of the argument he uses. The concept of "collective guilt" is misguided: we are not "guilty" in any sense of past crimes.
However, "guilt" is a red herring in this discussion, because responsibility is broader than guilt.

You and I are not guilty of that past systematic bigotry, but the responsibility to cure the continuing damage falls on us.
