I can't get on board with a sentiment that is essentially, "we're really lucky people haven't engaged in mass murder due to the historical failings of our government". Yeah, people engage in that behaviour elsewhere, but treating it like the expected reaction from a group of historically disadvantaged people is nauseating. I'm pretty cynical, I don't expect all that much from my fellow humans, but come on, we have to be able to clear that bar at least.
