Blacks are upset that they were abused by the White Man as slaves in America.
Yet 97% of them can't trace lineage back to slavery.
They also forget 2 things:
1. Europeans usually bought enslaved people who were captured in endemic warfare between African states.
Some Africans had made a business out of capturing Africans from neighboring ethnic groups or war captives and selling them.
The earliest recorded cases of African Slavery goes back to around 1493 when Spain brought the first African slaves to what is today Haiti and Dominican Republic.
Remember that the first American Colony weren't established until 1607 with Jamestown.
So the American White man didn't start African slavery in the New World and what part of it will later become the United States, the European Spaniards did.
2. Slavery is still practiced in Africa today in several form on a larger scale
and it's not limited to White owning and exploiting Black,
it's mostly Black owning and exploiting Black

Then there is this recent movement by
SOME Blacks wanting to rewrite history and wanting to have anything CONFEDERATE removed:
monuments, names on building and schools, etc etc.
Those Black folks claim CONFEDERATE = RACISM.
It's not!
It's History!
It's American History!
It's the Civil War.
Without the Civil War, Blacks may still be slaves today.
The Civil Rights may never have occurred if there wasn't a civil war to free Blacks in America from slavery.
Blacks will still be segregated and enslaved if the civil war never happened.
620,000 soldiers on both North and South died in the Civil War.
Only 40,000 of them were Black.
The remaining 580,000 casualties were White.
Out of that 580,000,
approximately 265,000 wore soldiers in the service of the United States:
the Union, the North.
Those 265,000 Whites died fighting Confederate troops, most of them Whites,
so it was Whitess killing White,
just so Blacks could be freed from slavery.
Those Black folks who want everything CONFEDERATE REMOVED and DELETED from history
should be grateful and not bitter about the Civil War.
Finally, most of those who served in the Union army
and fought in the civil war never seen a Black slave or a Black person before.
Yet they came together for a cause and that is to fight in a war to abolish slavery.
