So could we say then that they're collectivizing the guilt about the slavery they participated in by accusing everyone else of what they actually did, creating a collective guilt over something they did, while still reaping the benefits of the money and power made during that era.

If you want to talk about "institutionalized privilege", this seems like a good place to start. Collectivizing the blame while privatizing the benefits.
