This is the correct take, and it has nothing specifically to do with black people. Any group marginalized for a century will be resentful, just human nature.

Look at irish and brits, armenians and turks, russia and everyone they touch, Rwanda, sierra leone, haati/ Dominican Republic .... ....

Guess what? Plenty of us whites have slaves as ancestors. Slavery was not limited to blacks even though we pretend it was. We all have slaves as ancestors - maybe not in this country, but slavery has affected all races for thousands of years.

We should have let the Irish pick our cotton.
