If America is going to own “those wars”; as fucking hilarious as that is, it should also own the genocide it committed against the natives and it should also own the slavery and disenfranchisement of black Americans that lasted centuries.
We do. Why do people keep writing this shit? It’s been taught in schools for decades and we discuss it endlessly.
Its like people see our media blast a person for trying to censor/deny it and instead of seeing the well reported criticism as the typical American stance, they decide everyone MUST be siding with the villian of the story.
I agree with all your points, but would also liketo point out that SOME states coughfloridacoughtexascough are trying to NOT teach those things anymore. THOSE states would like a classroom experience in public schools where very little learning is done.
But don’t worry, they’ll totally ignore the seperation of church and state, so they can lead the school day with a manditory class prayer.
Are you implying slavery and disenfranchisement ended with the civil war?
The last tenet farmer was allowed to leave in the 1960s.
We still have more prisoners than any other country, mostly due to laws heuristically targeting black and poor people. Those prisoners can’t vote, but for representation purposes, their population counts towards the local town/district (which includes those prisoner’s guards). Weirdly similar to the way political representation for enslaved persons worked, minus the 3/5ths part.
As a European I’m fascinated to know where you’re from that has done more to face upto and move away from its past?
America has a complex history but one which it very much faces, it has current problems but ones which it struggles to overcome and right. It is not perfect or pure but nothing ever had been nor ever will be, it’s certainly doing more to grow into a moral and just place than anywhere else I know well.

Absolutely, which is why it’s taught in schools nowadays.
… what do you think the US Civil War was over, again?
