Hey. Hey, try this.

"The overwhelming majority of white land owning men in 1860 were not slave owners, therefore we should minimize the reality of slavery as a problem the slaves had. Maybe if the slaves had smiled more at white land owners, everyone would have been happier."

Oh. Hey, don't quite work the same, right? Kinda like it's a societal and cultural issue. Oh... Huh, maybe it's worth a think first before you say things.

Edit: this is a comparison to show how not OK it is to wave away something terrible people do just because "a small group do it." It's made sarcastically. JFC, people, learn to read.
