That’s why postmodernism had to invent terms like systemic racism and white privilege. Most ‘whites’ in America, likely 99% at this point, did not descend from people that owned slaves. Very few back then even had them because unless you had giant farms it’s not like there’s much for them to do, and they were horrifically expensive to purchase and upkeep. Then you add the fact that most people immigrated here after all that, and the number gets even smaller. That’s putting aside as well that African slaves in the US were Africans that other Africans had enslaved and sold out, who often still had slaves themselves. Hell, look at Africa now, they still have slavery in some parts. Then think about how most black people in America aren’t even all black, like the Hodgetwins. They’re like 55/45 or something.

If we’re talking about racism by ‘lineage’ from ‘racists’, then very, very few people would actually be ‘guilty’ of that. If we’re talking about full blooded descendants of slaves, that’s an even smaller number. Most people also seem to have long since moved on from race as a concern, barring the left trying to reinsert it to secure votes from time to time.

With that in mind, they kind of have to damn you with original sin to conjure of racism. It also makes a lot of them feel better on the far left because they get to recreate Christianity in the modern era to fill a void in their lives, only without any of the positive parts, and having negatives worse than anything you’d ever see in the Bible, which I say as someone that’s not a Christian.
