By your argument...
ALL people who have a line of inheritance, aren't entitled to it.

If you go back far enough, you'll find vile acts throughout history which have been committed in order to take possession of land. And this goes for just about all land on Earth.

Are you English? Anglo-Saxon? Chances are that the land upon which your family home stands once belonged to a Celt. Who stole it from someone else (I can't be bothered to look up the history of land ownership over the millennia - but you get the picture).

Is it unfair that some people are lucky, by accident of birth, to be able to inherit huge estates and vast fortunes - while others have nothing? Maybe. But what are you going to do about it?

By that argument, one may as well say that by accident of your birth, you were born in England and not in Somalia. But do the Somalians therefore have cause to despise you - simply because you were "lucky" enought to have been born with a better lot in life than they were?

Come on! Unless you're advocating some form of extreme communism, in which everyone on Earth should be allocated one six-billionth of the available land area, and in which it is not possible to inherit, then your argument is flawed.

Actually...
my argument isn't about the inheritance per se but about the way these descendants of murdering warmongering genocidal bastards have the temerity to EXPECT respect precisely BECAUSE of their heritage.
And the sad fact that there are people outside their bloodlines that actually do think they deserve respect, even servility.
