Sorry, you're not welcome as a customer.

If you are a member of the oppressing class (in whichever context: from being friends with a school bully to knowing a slave trader) and an oppressed person tells you they are suffering from the actions of that class, it becomes your duty to help stop it.

This hand-washing help-yourself attitude is never acceptable. "What did you do to help free the slaves, daddy?"

"Oh, nothing, the slaves should have done it themselves".
