Lynching and White Guilt

I attended a Lynching Conference over the weekend, it was extremely uncomfortable but certainly worthwhile for families whose ancestors were lynched . 

I was struggling with one of the presentations which involved a White woman who discovered her great grand parents were enslavers who also had Slavery celebrations/picnics and how traumatizing it was for her family

I thought that it was inappropriate and certainly not equivalent in any sense to the lynchings . Why is it necessary to always center juxtaposition both issues given the conference was about Black Americans that were lynched 

I acknowledge my concerns with those who held the conference 

Was I wrong ???
