Me, acting in a ‘Devils Advocate’ sort of way,

isn’t ‘US’ still bickering about the Civil War (War Between the States), which ended 150 (give or take) years ago and which no one involved is alive though a lot have ancestors that were, WHAT is the difference in the Blacks still discussing Slavery or thinking they(or WE) were directly involved in it?

Both subjects deserve to be discussed and parsed BUT not in the essence that ANYONE is owed anything.

The descendants of slaves still talk about slavery for the same reason that the descendants of Confederates still talk about the loss of the Civil War. They feel like their clans have been scarred.

It takes time for folks to pick themselves up and to carry on. Some are faster than others.
