I think you've misunderstood what the author is expressing. From this POV, the article isn't about the divide between black people and white people. The article is about the issue of white identity and the impact that issue has on the ability of humanity to move past race relations. His argument is merely framed by examples of the black vs white struggle which as you rightfully claimed is rooted in descendants of slaves vs descendants of slave owners.
