#1 There is a tremendous amount of animosity amongst the U.S.'s black population and the US's founding fathers. George Washington owned over 300 slaves. Thomas Jefferson owned over 600 slaves. Even though hundreds of thousands of white people died in the civil war which resulted in the abolishment of slavery, the first few decades of US history was a very painful one for black America.

#2 And lets hide the fact that blacks owned black slaves as well.

There seems to be a large portion of the population today, regardless of race, who like being taken care of by the state rather than assume responsibility for their own lives and have no problem with their 'leaders' taking the labor and productivity of others to make sure they get the basics for food and shelter.

#5 If it wasn't for the slave trade, there would be no "black America." They'd be dying of malaria in some African ditch, were they not lucky enough to be a product of the long gone slave trade.
