Today's protesters protest bygone times when slavery was legal and was considered, by many otherwise normal people, socially desirable and morally acceptable. They also protest the times of racism and racial discrimination that came after slavery was abolished in the U.S. Those times are gone.
America, in order to make up for the past suffering of slaves, has bestowed on blacks many privileges and entitlements that are not available to all other Americans, affirmative action and protection from so-called disparate impact being examples. American whites have become — as a racial group — the most aracial people on Earth. In predominantly white America, both implicit and explicit discrimination against blacks in admissions, hiring, retention, and promotion has been made illegal. Even vague expressions of perceived anti-black racism, like displaying a rope that some may consider a noose, are being vigorously investigated by law enforcement and — if the evidence warrants it — punished. A privately made statement that could be interpreted by some as racially disparaging or critical of blacks can easily end the professional career of the speaker, particularly if the speaker is white.
Yet the protesters, impervious to our relentless efforts to protect blacks from any form of discrimination, presumed or actual, keep protesting and accusing whites of being the root causes of the wrongs that happened in those past times, even though they and — in many cases — their ancestors did not suffer from those wrongs yet are benefiting from the privileges that were meant to make up for the suffering caused by those wrongs.
No one can change the past, even if the protesters destroy everything that we and our ancestors have built on American soil. America's history is what it is and will stay that way forever.

RE: a reminder of evil and its destructive power.
But do you have to protest and riot to be reminded ?

Slavery in the past was the only form of employment. People of all kinds of nations were called slaves or servants instead of employees. The only difference on the issue between ancient nations, was that slavery in Israel was governed by laws to make it more fair and mandate the option of freedom for each slave after a specific period of service.
