Does the OP make this claim? I don't think he does

Yeah it just changes the entire narrative and approach of the DNC and proves there is an entire educational system run by Democrats designed to manipulate blacks and keep them ignorant

Right, they are going to do this because it's good for their disparate coalition. But the right should stop engaging them on this shite at all. It's a losing battle.

Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.

So if a white guy and a black guy go rob a bank and the white guy kills four people during the robbery and the black guy only kills one then the white guy is the worser killer of the two?

That’s all very interesting, but slavery still was an awful de-humanizing institution. Regardless of who “owned” slaves. The fact that there were a few nonwhite slave owners doesn’t change much substantively, tbh

We should point out, ridicule, and humiliate this idiots at every chance.
We should point and laugh hysterically in their faces.
We should shame them into sense or until they cower in their parent's basements

I doubt this matter will ever settle. Enslaving others, irrespective of by whom, removes others from their natural habitat/customs and the likes and places them elsewhere, anchorless - that by itself is unsettling.
Slavery ends, by brutal means, and there is a winner and a loser. The loser is pissed and the winner adds fuel to the fire by being heavy handed.
We now have a displaced people being displaced again in the midst of pretty pissed off winners and losers. Still anchorless, no unifying culture, winners/losers trying to recover from self inflicted brutality.
The decades roll along with all types of shenanigans - political, social, financial, you name it and it plays out in race relations, particularly with those brought against will.
The answer, there is no answer. Some of us - all races - will make our way in this place called America. While others, for whatever reason(s) - all races - will lose out and pass to their future.
Is the African Americans American experience different, you bet it is. Can it be overcome? Yes and we have evidence of such. Will others keep playing political football with it? You bet, as long as there is oxygen to fuel.
For me, I try to acknowledge the history but cannot be held hostage to it. Am beyond grateful for where I find myself and wouldn't choose anywhere else to be.

I'm all about this, just don't let them set the frame of the conversation.

That's true, but it's also a critical weakness of modern conservatism. Stop looking to attack what your enemies are doing and start doing your own stuff. IOW, quit being so reactive. It's a bad strategy.

You can't win on this issue. When you engage it, you lose. Because engaging it in this manner gives them control over the conversation. It assumes their frame
I agree with you, in part.
The problem is, we're not their audience. Hell, the general public isn't even their audience.
When in the company of the general public, I agree, we should avoid engaging them in it because it legitimizes the subject matter and keeps it relevant. However, when the audience is limited to just their diehards we should absolutely hammer them on it because who knows, maybe we can flip a few and get them woke AF.
Walk away from the Democrat Plantation, Etc

Sure, I'll concede your point. I think it's a great point. The key here is to avoid engaging on their terms. Don't adopt their terms. Set your own.

Like I said and others before me, this argument will continue until it is no longer lucrative to the puppet masters. Plain and simple.
