Bingo! Black tribes in Africa were the ones selling their black brothers to the world for slaves, yet you never see this mentioned when people talk about slavery in America. Do I feel bad about what happened? Of course - about as bad as knowing six million jews were murdered in Germany in the late 30's and early 40's. You don't see the jewish people using that as a crutch to get ahead in life, or to get preferential treatment for schools. Sadly, many black people hold white people in general accountable for slavery. According to that logic, if a black person kills a white person then we should put that black persons entire family on trial.
In college I had an english class that had four black guys in it. Three of them were american and they walked in with their pants hanging off their ass and bad attitude expressions on their faces. They sat in the back of the class. The other was from africa and sat in the front of the class, next to me in fact. No chip on his shoulder. He was very bright and extremely pleasant. We got along very well. My professor started lecturing and during the course of the lecture stated a published statistic that 70%(? I don't remember the number exactly) of inmates are black. The three guys at the back of the class were not there the next day and the teacher was called in for questinoing. Nothing happened there because he did absolutely nothing wrong.
I think black people need to heed the advice of Bill Cosby in his infamous "come to Jesus" speech. Get over it.
