I would argue Germany hasn't gotten over it, living here now. Also, slave ownership wasn't in the same stratosphere as the Holocaust. Both terrible blights on human history of course, but comparing the Holocaust to whatever other terrible thing is a tired trope. Germans have loads of memorials, big and small, obvious and subtle, scattered all around the afflicted areas. It's part of frequent conversation here. Also, there's a cultural difference - Germans are not sensational. They don't let emotion get injected into every news piece or current event. They don't "clap back" or cancel each other. It's not a constant race to see who is the most oppressed. This is where the difference is. As an American, I can safely say that America has a culture problem that has absolutely nothing to do with racism/slavery/whatever and that is present across the political spectrum. It's not super obvious to most until you leave the American sphere and look back into it from the outside.
