I disagree entirely. You can only say I didn't have anything to do with it if you learn from it as a culture and moved on. We still do this. We execute innocent people all the time. We didn't learn from it. We kept doing. It's actively going on. It's not something in the past we can dissociate ourselves with. This isn't something you didn't have anything to do with, this is something you still have something to do with. We all do.
