    Calm your tits, sir. History has always been my least trusted subject. It’s written by the victors after all.

    What are you on about with drugs? Who tf is Sally Hemmings and why should I care?

      Seriously?

      You should care that one of our revered founding fathers kept a slave mistress that he raped when other people are trying to deify them.

      Also, you should care about black history because it’s American history.

          You can remember her. Like you can remember other people who were part of the black history of America.

          Or are you saying black history isn’t important?

              This is what you said after I tried to tell you who Sally Hemmings was:

              What the fuck can I do about long dead guy and his long dead mistress? Shit’s over with. Focus on today.

              So it sure sounds like you’re saying history isn’t important. Living in the now when you don’t know the history is how past mistakes are repeated.

                  Is that really all you think there is to learn?

                    Am I supposed to just not do what the victors are insisting are mistakes, or do you think they’re telling it their way to maintain control over me?
