Scott Hershovitz

“I think Whites are in a similar spot. It doesn’t matter whether we personally participated in segregation, protested against it, or weren’t even born when it happened. We can’t wash our hands of it just because we aren’t responsible. We should take responsibility. Why? There’s an old common law formula: Qui sentit commodum, sentire debet et onus. It means: He who enjoys the benefit ought also to bear the burden.”
