Mary: Dick, I've been through this white guilt thing, too.
Dick: White guilt?
Mary: Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, one of my ancestors was a proponent of slavery.
Dick: Who?
Mary: Well, actually... my mom.
Dick: How do you live with yourself?
Mary: She's not me, and I've learned by observing her behavior that we have the power to do whatever we want. We have the power to make changes in society.
Dick: We do?
Mary: Absolutely. So stop feeling guilty and do something. After all, it's not like you picked the color of your skin, right?
