I wonder if "people of color" (including black) will ever realize the sins they've committed against themselves and stop blaming others. Try self-criticizing for once. Maybe then you can speak without mentioning races and finally accept that there are only people.
God Bless.

Yes. But no more than people of color will be punished for committing crimes against themselves. Fact is, what ever your race, you are most likely to be victimized by your own race. Though I am White, I have witnessed more discrimination between blacks and other races than Whites against others. Chinese, and other Orientals will often have a mock funeral for children dating or marrying outside their race or nationality. Blacks have a whole additional vocabulary for people they don't consider Black enough.
As to such as past slavery, the British, Spanish and Portugese had a lot more to do with it than Americans. You might injoy reading about Eldridge Cleaver. A Black Panther wanted for terrorism. He moved to France and many African countries. Finally returned to the US and ran for senator in California. He had a different outlook. Mentioned how Blacks had it much better in the US than anywhere he had been in Africa. But of all Acountries, he preferred Libya and Algeria. And he also liked France. But e was not accepted elsewhere in Africa. Those years his living was financed by North Viet Nam and Communist China.
A couple things to get straight. Prior to 1780, most people came to America against their will. And from that time on, most came because conditions and opportunities in their home countries so bad. I also read that the last slave in America was a White woman in New Hampshire.
Quit being a victim. There are plenty of opportunities for Blacks. Seize those opportunities and change things to make it better.

Americans are millions of people with lots of different beliefs.
Can't really answer that question as if there is one belief. In fact, the one belief that is American is that people are free to believe whatever they wish to believe. And not all non-black people committed sins against people of color. So....your question is not possible to answer. Any way, has God punished the Nazis?

you might want to read up on the American Civil War (1861-1865) and the speeches of Pres. Abraham Lincoln at the time
at the time Lincoln came to firmly believe that God was exacting retribution for the sin of holding slaves in the American states and territories, and that the war was so prolonged because it was God's will that it continue until the price was paid
one example: at Antietem there were 6000 casualties in the first five minutes of battle as troops squared off less than 100 yards (meters) from each other and opened a brutal fire with muskets
Lincoln was a brilliant writer and speaker and you might learn something.

I believe black people and people of color are also Americans. God will punish us for our sins against others, but he will also forgive us.

I haven't committed any such sins, so I should be OK.
I wonder is muslims worry about the fact that they have sold blacks and others into slavery. Do they feel that god/allah will punish them as a group or only the evil vendors?

God is a good and just God. Any person who negatively affect this world, will reap appropriate consequences. But it will be individuals who will face the consequences. Those who are good of charactor, will find friends of all races, and God will be kind to them. Americans are going to face a lot of consequences for not dealing with the many serious problems, we have not addressed within our country. But, to men of character facing these consquences will not be punishment to them, but an opportunity to finally produce the changes required.

I didn't commit any sins against black people and people of color - are you trying to claim I'm responsible for the actions of people who were around generations before I even existed? If so, does this also apply to the descendants of African tribes who sold other tribes into slavery?

What about the crimes people of color commit against other people of color? Why do we need to wait for god to get involved?
