Title mentions Native Americans

No, it says Native Africans.

Not innocent.

As far as I'm aware, international laws condemning slavery did not exist back then. Individual countries back then may have had their own decree, but ironically, it was only White countries who actually abolished or opposed slavery in general. Britain for example, used its navy to patrol the Atlantic ocean to enforce the ban on importing new slaves. No African nation ever did such.

There was no movement, need or trans-Atlantic naval tradition for many of these Africans to 'reclaim their people'.

By keeping the slaves in America, it lead to hundreds of years of racial violence that STILL exists to this day. In fact, by saying Native Africans had no obligations to reclaim their property, you are morally fine with watching White people suffer, since stuff like the George Floyd riots or the Haiti massacre only existed because the slaves didn't go back when they had the chance.

I don't see hatred and guilt in the news media. I see some of the news media pandering to social pressure to increase diversity in their staff and stories. It's not so bad, even if I disagree that 10% or 20% or 30% of minority portions of a social group should be 50% of the face of a news media company. My view is that miniroties should be proportionally represented in all jobs IF they are superior professional candidates, but shouldn't be overrepresented at the expense of whites.

The media is teaching kids in schools right now, that only the White race are evil because they were born with "white privilege". Also, White people are disproportionally paying taxes for welfare and affirmative action programs that hurt their race, while benefitting non-whites more.

This is a bias, and a moral injustice that Africans in Africa should be taking the blame for instead. In fact, why haven't they paid the damages caused by their slave trade? They should pay to reimburse the owners that took slaves and ruining their countries in the new world.
