My point is exactly that you should only go after wealth inherited from people who made that wealth by victimizing others, not from people who just happenned to be living in the same country or sharing the same race as the oppressors, even with claims that “they did nothing to stop it” (as if one’s peasant ancestors during the age of absolute monarchy were even aware of Slavery much less had the means to stop it).

The whole point of the “it’s the fault of race/nationality” crowd is exactly to steer people away from following the “who still now gains from it” link, by in practice chosing an interpretation of the blame for what happenned that turns the descendants of some victims of the oppressors the ones supposed to pay compensation to the descendants of other victims of the oppressors (often the very same oppressors), whilst the descendants of the oppressors can often just keep on enjoying the loot inherited from their ancestors which was accumulated thanks to that oppression.

I would say that in Europe the Brits are the most extreme example of this (both because of the vast numbers of people there whose present day wealth come from ancestors who made that money through extreme exploitation of others, and because of just how relentlessly the “common blame” fables are deployed by the entire edifice of politics to disperse the responsability from the few to the many), though other nations with a colonialist past also have mainstream political factions following the same template to insulate Old Wealth from the consequences of inheriting blood money.
