The Documentary “13th” “Buck Busting” and the Two Different Ways to See and Live

When people hear, read, watch and/or learn the supposed history of America and race relations, institutional racism, slavery, prejudice, corrupt legal systems, and racist officers of the law, etc. in footage like the Netflix documentary “13th”, or “12 Days of Slave” or “Amistad”, or “The Birth of A Nation”, etc., what are they to make of it all? Some people absorb the information literally and are very disturb afterwards, and may even begin to foster resentment towards white America, and its history. Some (namely non-black and white Americans) find the information to be more reverse revisionists rhetoric, and nothing any of us (white or black) need to subscribe to at all. AND that the subscription to rhetoric such as this is purely divisive and toxic for the whole. What should we make of this “rhetoric”?

What about all the counter arguments about how blacks profited from slavery and slave trading as well, i.e. the first slave owner in the US was a Black man Named Anthony Johnson? Or that The Africans themselves were selling their own people into slavery as well as to many nations around the globe, and locally with themselves even. And that basically nobody’s ever been a worse enemy of blacks than blacks themselves? And the blaming everything on racism/white people is the quintessential “victim mentality” and you won’t/have not gotten far with that mentality. And discounting the effects of slavery and institutional racism, etc. on the part of whites? Saying things like “…only 10% of white people ever had slaves but blacks like to blame all whites.?..”
