Usually someone who starts a string of misinformation knows its bad information. Early settlers in North Carolina were Scots Irish, not Irish. Something seemingly minor and harmless can end up doing a lot of damage to the lives of other people though. The average black guy or girl going to work every day and living out their life wouldn't have time or a reason to know that Irish Catholics and Scots Irish are not the same people without having spent time around them, and thus would not know that Irish Catholics didn't own slaves. This allows for more ignorance of the other group, not less. Its the same ignorance as a white guy who doesn't know that not all Nigerians are the same religion (some Christian, some Muslim, some don't go to a church or a mosque at all, and so on), or that not all Muslims are terrorists. A lot of white guys go to work every day and live their lives out without having spent a lot of time around people from other groups, and don't know when they're being given a string of information, and its a good thing some do.
