... She literally didn't say "blacks" in this quote. "I was intentionally leaving out American blacks".
All that being said, that resentment, shame, and envy isn't coming from "outsized achievements". This is a stupid claim that's similar to "Islamic Terrorists hate us because they are jealous of our freedom."
The resentment, shame, and envy is being intentionally institutionalized into these demographics the same way that guilt is being intentionally institutionalized whites. The purpose is to capitalize on resentment as a mechanism to achieve political power, nothing more. There is no reason ambitious leftists wouldn't make the same arguments using different groups, and they in-fact have. They will continue to.
However the "outsized achievements" are used as one rationalization/justification for resentment, and in their arguments for more institutionalizing racism in the name of ending racism. It's a flavor of disparate impact theory. White people built a more successful civilization than blacks and indigenous groups, therefore it must be the result of White people oppressing those groups. And while nobody will ever word it this way, the ability to engage in an efficient global slave trade at the industrial scales it was done at in the Atlantic Triangle is an outsized achievement. (especially if you include Arabs in the "White people" group - they truly mastered the trade)

Don’t forget the ship owners ;)
The Portuguese weren't going to corner that market. They were at war with the Ottomans.
Agreed.
Oh that's odd, American blacks are who her quote applies to the most out of all the non-Whites of the world.
