Nobody said "Black Africans get a pass". What we're saying is that they do not share equal responsibility with those whites who made slavery endemic in the Americas. And yes, people of color do discriminate, but no, they are not at a level of moral equivalence with white supremacists on that score. Why is it so important to you to try and get white America off the hook for our long history of imposing oppression? It's not as though the changes needed to make this a non-oppressive country would do you or me or any other white person any harm.
