My response:

160 years after the Civil War ended, and huge swaths of this country are still in denial about what the war was about (slavery) and who won (the non-slavery side).

I’m failing to see what’s different between the American kind of look-the-other-way attitude towards history and the shit Turkey does with the Armenian genocide. It’s willful ignorance turned up to 11.

I wonder what that person’s reaction would be if one of his/her neighbors started flying a black jihadi flag? Never mind the symbol?

Somehow I doubt it. //
