No the propaganda is working on them also. People talk about slavery, Jim Crow, and the KKK the same way they talk about the Holocaust.
This was clear to me when I saw people my age (I’m young) speak of this stuff like it happened to them, because they identify with their blackness.
I’m Polish as well as American. The Nazis did a lot of terrible things to Poles just as the Communists did, but I wouldn’t think less of a German or Russian living today because they had nothing to do with it. And it never happened to me or anyone I know, I’m just aware of the history.
I think blacks hated whites less after slavery ended than they do now.
