He thinks that slavery was a choice ... or something. He can barely put a sentence together.

Slavery was a choice? That's the just world hypothesis on steroids.

You completely missed what he said. He said you hear about slavery for 400 years. A quick Google tells me the first slaves taken by Americans were in 1619. That's 399 years ago. He's asking why are we still talking about slavery? Why is still it a big deal in 2018? Why haven't we completely moved on from it when it ended so long ago in 1865? There's no one alive today who was a slave. It's a choice to talk about it in 2018 and he feels it's a self inflicted mental prison holding black people back.

Why haven't certain whites not learned to accept black Americans as equals? Life isn't as simple as in conservative/libertarian fantasy land.

Probably for the same reason certain blacks don't except whites as equals or certain Asians don't except blacks or whites as equals etc.

The problem isn't that Asians and blacks don't accept whites as equals, because those groups aren't in power the same way we whites are.
