You’re “cool” till that one exhibit hits you and now everything annoying
My experience was this after listening to the incredible Sit Ins audio exhibit experience at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atalanta
And then get madder when you realize that the powers that be are working hard to erase this knowledge from school.

nothing humbles you faster than a history exhibit

I felt like this when I visited the Blacks in Wax museum in Baltimore. I encourage all my brothers and sisters to visit that place if you get the chance. Definitely an experience

I dunno, I feel like this mindset pushes the racist right-wing narrative that black people are “always going to be mad at white people” and think they should feel “eternally guilty” for what their ancestors did. It’s not really a mindset I can get behind, personally.
Awareness and knowledge of history is important and should never be censored. And especially how it affects the current world and systemic inequalities. But I’m not into guilt tripping people for crimes committed by people who look like them or share their religion or gender or other things like that.
I dunno, sometimes I feel like I’m a “bad” black person according to BPT because I see things this way lol. Maybe it’s because my family isn’t American?
Just my two cents.
