A self-identified Republican called into C-SPAN to say that Black people in 2023 should thank 19th century White men for freeing Black slaves (placed into slavery by White men) during the Civil War:
I have not heard one white Democrat apologize for slavery. I haven’t heard any Black person say thank you to the over 300,000 white men who died to free those Black slaves.
