And what to me are very constructive and valid criticisms of the tremendous blind spots we have always nurtured and often been afraid to address straight-on.

So, speaking of straight-on, I strongly disagree with you. If I read you accurately, this line of thinking is a good part of what has many people whining and fretting that we dare take down memorials and statues venerating the racist slave-monger confederate generals. Sure, let them pretend that war was not related to slavery! That is only one exemplar.
