“Launder that money through love” is a beautiful take on this advice letter.

If you inherit money, I definitely support using some of it to better the world around you. Donate some of it to charity.
But as far as your own obligations go? As long as “unethical” doesn’t mean that it was stolen (the example case was money earned from the tobacco industry), you have no obligation to do any particular thing with it. Use it to secure your family’s future and make life easier for the next generation of humans.
