It's not about ancient wrongs, the wrongs being talked about were happening as AA was implemented. We're talking about things happening in 1971, not just the 1850's.

I figure that there is no binary distinction between what is ancient and what is modern enough to matter.

Would you agree that older wrongs are only different from newer wrongs as a matter of degree, rather than a matter of kind?
