If we're going to move forward we need to stop bringing it into the pubic domain... 'else it'll never be forgotten.

Racism is groomed into the young so after time adults are racist, thus it happens that the next young have the racism instilled into them.

So why is it that many white folk like myself have inherited this 'white guilt' that should not apply to us?
White guilt
White guilt is the individual or collective guilt felt by some white people for harm resulting from racist treatment of people of color by whites both historically and currently. White guilt has been described as one of the psychosocial costs of racism for white individuals along with empathy (sadness and anger) for victims of racism and fear of non-whites.

The thing that's conveniently forgotten with the slavery issue is that the first person that owned a slave was black. Not only that but there were other black slave owners.

Of course, they don't teach that in history classes because that doesn't fit the narrative that they're trying to push in their indoctrination process. Sadly, very few people bother to learn anything beyond what they were "taught" in school.
