Actually plenty of black people know this, it's one of the reasons for contentions between native African-Americans and African immigrants. There still quite a lot of resentment.
African immigrants are not responsible for their ancestors selling your ancestors. None of us are responsible for our ancestors or the actions of our governments before we were of voting age and certainly should not be penalised thereof. This eternal whining about events of 200 years ago is getting extremely boring.
Given that being 'black' is the USA is more about cultural identity than anything else given their use of the absurd 'one drop rule' (which makes me black btw) better to dump the whole notion of racial division.
