That doesn't actually absolve the US government of anything, though.
Nor does it make Africans complicit in the truly sickening shit slaves experienced after reaching America's glorious shores, or the US government's continuous engagement in explicitly racist actions well into the 20th century. Government-sanctioned redlining only officially "ended" around 50 years ago.
