Before we discuss black versus white properties you must remember, American-Blacks were ex-slaves and the descendents of slaves for the most part. Therefore what ever cultural identity they had were wiped out by the experience of being owned by White people. So, before you can condemn them you need to understand where they are coming from.
No condemnation of African-Americans is intended.
However, imposing guilt by inherited ancestry based only on skin colour is not only too simplistic an idea to effect a positive change, but it fuels a resentment from the innocent that almost certainly will fuel more racism (not to mention the irony of it being racist itself).
This is an example of the politics of grievance-culture and not one that will lessen racism or the suffering due to racism.
In effect, it requires that, say, a white Danish family who emigrates to the US, must bear the burden of guilt for race crimes neither committed by family members nor any of their ancestors.
