I don't want to be like the typical fake white liberal apologist, but I did some digging in my family tree and unfortunately it appears my great great great great grand father through my maternal line had enslaved about 10 people.

Bums me out and makes feel sick to my stomach.

    Just remember that you cannot change the past but you can be part of breaking the cycle. That's it. Just be tolerant and considerate of others. Be patient. It's not your fault. Nobody chooses to be born or who their ancestors are. Don't let it bog you down. They're dead, you are alive, you have a chance to make a positive impact in the world.
