I hate thinking like that, but they want a war.

I’ve said it before, I really struggle with the things they are so angry and hateful over don’t actually exist. Critical Race Theory is just the latest bullshit thing. Think of all the made up shit about African slaves and Black Americans, the reasons to be scared, the made up stereotypes that get passed down as a really fucked up legacy, that way too many humans are still proud of.

There is nothing anti-American or hateful or racist about admitting that we have made some mistakes in history.

In fact, part of what Makes America (or any other nation) Great is the ability to learn from our mistakes.

If you don’t think that it was mistake to import and keep slaves, to base an entire economy and society on exploitation of slave labor, to fight a war over the expansion of slavery and then to continue to discriminate against the freed slaves and their descendants through legislation, and by denying them education and access to government loans and subsidies, then you really need to rethink things.
